Title: Mt.Gox: Euro deposits are finally back!
Post by: MagicalTux on September 07, 2011, 10:06:52 AM
As you may have seen we are fighting with our French bank and the French law.

In the meantime, the bank is currently forced to keep our account open until the status of bitcoin is defined, as a virtual currency or not. As there is a fair chance it won't be considered a virtual currency, we are announcing the new account number and accepting deposits.

We check the account once an hour, so same day deposits are credited instantly. Normal SEPA transfers take the normal 2~3 business days delay.

Remember that by creating an EURO balance on your account you can avoid losing on the exchange fees. If you live in the EURO zone, I highly recommend you to switch your main currency to EUR (see your settings page, more information on the multi currency announcement).

Great :)
Is it correct that EURO withdrawals are possible too ?
I requested one on Monday and now that option has been removed from the withdraw page it seems.

Many thanks for all your work and service you provide.

ps.
My ticket is 11427  ;D

Euro withdraw are only possible from EURO currency. We are currently evaluating options available for withdraws in other currencies, and trying to get currency exchange made possible.

If you are in Europe, you really should change your main currency for EUR.

Yep, the SEPA EUR withdraw option disappeared, this sucks, I have a USD balance that I got before the new markets got rolled out.
So you're saying that now, additionnaly to the 2% fee I'll also have to pay a currency exchange fee ?

We'll probably show again euro withdraw option in USD again, for a limited time (or may allow a one time 0% fee exchange, please contact me on admin@mtgox.com if you'd like that)

This is really good news. And it also seems that the Mt. Gox euro market is already really big so it's not a problem to trade there. Keep up the good work! :)
