Whats the longest you've waited on a Bitstamp deposit?
A few months ago, transfers ~$1000 took 7-8days. I've got ~6k on the way that I've been waiting on for almost a month. My bank said it would take a long time though. I am an American.
Your bank tells you that a wire transfer is going to take a long time?
I would def look for a new bank...
SWIFT Wire transfers should clear after 1 business day. Maybe add an extra day or two max, but after that the money is in their bank. Then its a matter of bitstamp processing the deposit to your account, verifying everyting, etc. The second part is what takes more time.
