Cheers for that brother! Nice one for contacting Support  

"not operational"

Just an inference on my part, but sounds like they have retired their relationship with Unicredit be it for regulatory/legal reasons?

they are a profitable enterprise, it wouldn't surprise me if they have several back-up affiliate banking partners from this list:

Hopefully they in turn do not follow suit of Unicredit.

Long live Raiffeisen Bank!  By the way, my deposits went in smooth; corporate FX rates are still very good/same; 2-3 days to fund from UK.

Use localbitcoin if you don't want to wait for bank verification.

为何要如此呢，比起那些平台什么的，志愿者更可靠 志愿者团体 

我也注意到這個消息了，附上網址：

他这个法案对许多美国的比特币公司不利.限制很多. 感觉这个草案就是个废

中國會有這麼多這樣的交易所，跟中國的物欲社會離不開關係

你的理解不对吧。  现在BITPAY用户的钱包地址也是比特币地址吧， 发送也是要走BLOCKCHAIN的。
如果我的理解有误， 请指正。

Nice one justforbtc!

So they now have two banks for FIAT depositing - perhaps they have partitioned certain clients depending on where they are based.

eg. UK clients, Raiffeisen Bank and USA clients, Unicredit ??

This would explain the lack of any announcements, though an email shot would be great for those clients affected by the change.

It's good to hear no negative press to do with the integrity of Bitstamp/Unicredit relationship. A Coindesk article was just posted regarding an Argentinian based Exchange: http://www.coindesk.com/argentina-bitcoin-exchange-loses-bank-accounts/

This exchange was using Santander Bank for FIAT processing but now are in process of terminating their business relationship.


I sent two consecutive FIAT deposits over to Raiffeisen Bank, should be funded tomorrow morning +  Thursday.

The Corporate FX rate is still linked to Unicredits' Website on Bitstamp - will check to see if in fact still the same.

Unfortunately the deposit bank account is not optional and we kindly ask you to please send all your further deposit transfer to the bank account details which are displayed to you once you have requested a deposit.
