Title: How long to wait for MtGox EUR withdrawal?
Post by: wareen on May 18, 2011, 08:29:26 AM
I would love to hear from anybody who has successfully withdrawn an USD amount from MtGox via direct deposit to an EUR bank account (SEPA zone). Normally this should take no longer than 5 bank business days as far as I've heard but it has been 7 now and still nothing received ???
I'm starting to get worried, so please: if anybody has already done this, tell me how many days you had to wait.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Can you send your withdraw ref number by email to info@mtgox.com ?

I'll be able to give you more details.


Thanks,
Mark

Thank you - I just sent you an e-mail with the details.
Since this was my first withdrawal I thought I'd ask here for experiences first before bothering you.

Great service :D

From personal experience with euro payments they very rarely take more than 2-3 business days, sometimes they arrive day after being sent (might differ depending on the banks involved tho :P).

And while we are talking about EU bank transfers, a great feature for the site would be the ability to save your bank account information so you don't risk mistyping like i suspected I did on my last withdraw ;D

If it makes you feel more comfortable, it took my deposit 6 or 7 biz days to appear at mtGox [sepa zone] weird, but it did get through.

Within 48 hours here.

I included my address(as a friend told me he had to to get it through), although this is normally not required if you have IBAN/BIC.

I was truly amazed as even normal bank wires are more tardy than the MtGox. And other than the usual 5ish cent bank spread there were no costs.

Excellent stuff as long as no abuse ever happens(this is me hoping the bank account data does not get logged, but only the details of the wire amount).

Yes - it turned out to got rejected because I did not specify my address detailed enough (only city and postal code). I was also under the impression that SEPA did not require a detailed recipient address. It is a bit strange because whenever I perform SEPA transactions, my online banking system does not even provide enough space to enter the whole address of the recipient but they always get through nevertheless.

Anyway - thank you all for your replies and special thanks to MagicalTux for sorting this out and re-issuing the payment so quickly!

MagicalTux kindly re-issued my payment two days ago and I received it today.

If you don't receive anything by Monday I'd definitely suggest contacting him.
