BEWARE of Kraken !

In these last 2 weeks i've monitoring all the posts about Kraken and what i was only supposing now is actually happening.

This is a summary of what i have seen:

1) 11th February kraken facebook official page posts: "Kraken halts nothing! Because planning. Carry on"

Not true! Many customers are having issues with withdrawals (e.g. @Karim79, @Elain Magson,  ) and deposits (e.g. @James Nagle, @Fabio Bossi and others)

2) 20th February Kraken Facebook official pages posts: "Ok, actually we're halting something...USD Deposits Temporarily Disabled...All pending USD withdrawals not already in transit will be canceled within 24 hours and users will have the funds available again."

Not true! Today 26 th February still many customers are having withdrawal and deposits issue.
E.g. @Karim79, 36 days delay with his USD withdrawal.

Btcx, Dargo

So now 3 days passed since your announcement, and my USD withdraw is still pending. If I try to cancel it I get "internal Error" message.
I replied to the ticket to get it converted in Euro, but no answer...

Net Result: my money blocked since 20 of Jan (33 days..) and no support answer on my ticket since 13 of Feb (10 days ago) despite my replies...

That red cancel button is misleading because you actually can't cancel withdrawals after the first minute or so after you place them (we need to change this so the button turns grey or something similar). A support agent will answer your ticket, but the update is that we'll be cancelling all the outstanding withdrawals soon (should be tomorrow) and then we'll start the euro conversion. We couldn't cancel the withdrawals immediately because we needed to go through them and double check to make sure we don't cancel any that have already been sent. We're working to get this done as soon as possible, but it's a highly manual process, so it's not fast. 

Dargo, still no progress.. it's not acceptable behaving like this. Kraken knows I am blocked since 35 days now, so if I am really an exception or unlucky user please give the right priority to this manual process!

Thanks Karim

No answer from Kraken support !

Same for @giorgios deposit

Have we become too accustomed to the high standard that Kraken provide regarding deposits and withdrawals? How long would Bitstamp/Btc-e SEPA deposit take out of interest?

Where are the high standards of Kraken??? I send money to Kraken from 4th of February and they never credited to my account. When I asked for my remittance they told me that they never receive it. My bank asked officialy Fidor and they answered that my money is in Kraken's account from 4th of February. After this move they admitted that they received the money but until now they haven't credited my account. I only hear excuses and lies. Tommorow I will publish all my conversation (with PM) with Dargo, because I want to prove you that Kraken is a new MtGox...
So be careful because all these problems with deposits and withdrawals are very strange.
If I lie I challenge Dargo to deny all these...


No answers from the support and only excuses and lies !

I prompt @karim79 , @giorgios and all of the crypto comunity to BEWARE of Kraken, and remember that at MtGox everything started like this.. delays , excuses, no support, excuses and excuses till the end we all know .. !

I repeat it. Beware of Kraken !

easily explained... 9 times out of 10 it will depend on your receiving bank. once Kraken have sent the funds, they are sent. it's up to your bank to accept it.

First of all: given the withdraw is pending, how can you be sure this is sent?

Second point: What about 1 out 10 case? Moreover I am not able to cancel the pending withdraw as I get "Internal Error".

The point here is: what type of support am I getting for my problem? I acknowledge it could also be a target bank problem, but how should I know? should I guess because I am reading this forum? this is not serious, and lot of money blocked now since 1 month is not serious..


1 out of 10; (0.25 will have failed verification, 0.25 will have not attempted full verification, 0.25 will have put in the wrong bank details and 0.25 are just lying trolls)

I don't understand, why you registered on bitcointalk just to whinge? contact kraken.

Seems that @karim79 has contacted kraken several times and hasn't received any answer on what to do with his pending fiat withdraw. One month with fiat halted is ridiculous. I would be extremely pissed off.

What i have been reading of kraken seems to be confirmed.

@karim79 what i can suggest you is to open a thread on reddit/r/bitcoinmarkets and ask if someone else has your same issue.. I think you will find many customers in your same situation.

Hope kraken hasn't lost your money, but at this moment i really don't what to think about this exchange..

Dear Kraken.com,

i was a big supporter of you , i wanted to deposit some fiat and cryptos on your exchange..
But, reading on different forums and on your offical facebook page, i have noticed that many of your customers are having trouble withdrawing fiat, no customer support, delays of more than 1 month.. all of these issues are not accepted for a trustable service.

You lost one of your great supporters until all of these issues will be solved.
obviously you are not a great supporter Wink
Most of the fiat issues are caused by the bank of the user and not by Kraken/their bank. As you can read here on the forum, it helps to switch the bank. Then deposits and withdrawals are very fast, most of the time just 1 day.

+1
i think i've already mentioned the issues i've had. changing my receiving bank fixed all problems I had previously suffered.

I was a great supporter.. i'm reading of many customers (e.g. @karim79 and others, have a look on facebook official Kraken page) having fiat withdraw issues. Delays of 1 month and more are not acceptable. No support and explanation on what to do must be frustating.

Hope someone can explain all of this.
