Title: CAVirtex Taking Forever to get Verified? Alternatives? Post by: birdguy11 on November 27, 2013, 02:30:50 PM Hi,
I am a Canadian with a CAVirtex.com account that seems to be taking forever to get verified (I've uploaded my information 3 weeks ago and it is still in pending status). In the past I would just go to the bank and deposit funds to their account - but now it seems that option is gone. I would like to deposit $10,000CAD somewhere to buy bitcoins - CAVirtex seemed like the best choice. Since it is now a disaster and there is seemingly no customer support, can anyone recommend any alternatives for depositing $10,000CAD to buy bitcoins? Many thanks Title: Re: CAVirtex Taking Forever to get Verified? Alternatives? Post by: exstasie on November 27, 2013, 02:50:47 PM Hi there,
Unfortunately in Canada, there isn't much else you can for buying that much in BitCoins. I've been waiting 3 weeks not to get verified at CAVirtex. Apparently my Driver's License was missing a corner (even though they are rounded lol) so I had to re submit it. I've been told that there companies where you can make a deposit to a bank account at a branch and do it that way. Do you have any friends or someone trustworthy in Vancouver that can deposit your money at the Bitcoin ATM? That might be a good way as well. The quickest way is QuickBT.com, unfortunately it's limited to certain bank accounts, and is limited to $50 purchases right now lol. Title: Re: CAVirtex Taking Forever to get Verified? Alternatives?

Seems like they accept international wire transfers from Canada.

Post by: nicomekl on November 30, 2013, 07:19:23 AM I'm trying to get money out of CAVirtex and they told me it will take 2 weeks to get verified. Considering how much money they charge (1.5% plus $6 per transfer), I think this is ridiculous. Why do they even need to verify the account for withdrawals?!?! Are they worried I will send money to someone else's bank account?
There's a serious need for competition in the Canadian Bitcoin exchange market. Title: Re: CAVirtex Taking Forever to get Verified? Alternatives? Post by: mu on November 30, 2013, 12:31:54 PM Vaultofsatoshi seems to be the best alternative. Verification times are supposed to be less than a business day, and I can confirm this as one of my friends recently signed up and was verified quickly. It's a lower-volume exchange, though, and prices are higher than Cavirtex. Another option is Localbitcoins.
