Bitstamp withdrawl


Bitcoin

Recommended Posts

So due to an emergency I had to dilute some of my XRP. I live in Canada and I use the bitstamp exchange. This is the first time I've withdrew from bitstamp. About a week ago, or 6 business days ago, I withdrew to my bank account via international wire transfer and I had go go through an intermediary bank in the states. They said it should only take 5 business days to have the wire transfered, but I'm already on day 6 and no response back from bitstamp support. Anyone else went through the same issue before?

I think Bitstamp has a really high response time due heavy traffic at the moment. Verification time for a new account was a few month ago like a few hours. Now i know thru a friend that it takes sin some cases a few days. Deposits take usually like 3 Businessdays. I think you will have your money on your account tommorow. In your case i had directly canceled the withdraw yesterday to top up my stack.... But YOUR MONEY YOUR DECSIOssioN :) Have a nice day

Thanks for this post.  Please keep us updated on any progress.  I believe that there are many people that are interested in the Bitstamp fiat withdrawal process using an international bank wire transfer.  Did Bitstamp ask you any questions (KYC type questions, origin of funds, etc) when you initiated the withdrawal?

No plans to leave anytime soon but this is definitely something that would be nice to know.

So a bit of an update today. Got an email from bitstamp saying the money was re-deposited into my bitstamp account. Costed over 200 USD for that mess up. I have a reason to believe I should just wire to my bank instead of the intermediary bank.

Anyone from Canada have any experience with bitstamp?

Hi, still waiting on the wire. I've resent it through my my bank this time instead of the intermediary bank. This would be the 4th business day. 

Thanks for the update.  Please let us know if Bit.stamp OR your own bank asked any probing questions prior to releasing/processing the transaction.  Thanks.

Hi, no odd questions from anyone. I just realized on the "withdrawl request" section it still says that my withdrawl is still "in process", however my last withdrawl request stated "finished" within 1 business day. Now it's almost the 6th business day and I do not believe they have even sent the money yet...

So you've already been verified (address, i.d., etc) and now they want all this?!  Frustrating!

Indeed. I heard from some folks it could take as long as 2 months before my deposit makes it to the bank... I highly recommend using another exchange. Bitstamp is like the next mt gox. Read the sub Reddit form on bitstamp, nothing but mad people
