Bank of America vs. Mt. Gox

[David Rabahy]

I attempted to do online international wire using the information provided by Mt. Gox;

Wire information:

Beneficiary Name (Recipient): MtGox Co Ltd, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan (IMPORTANT: if the beneficiary account name is not entered, our bank cannot assign the funds to our account)
Branch Number-Account Number: 210-1457705 (can be entered without the hyphen)
SWIFT: MHBKJPJT
Name Of Bank: Mizuho Bank Ltd.
Branch Name (if required): Shibuya
Bank address: 1-5, Uchisaiwaicho 1-Chome, Chiyoda-ku 100-0011 Tokyo, Japan
Recipient Address: Round Cross Shibuya 5F, 11-6 Shibuya 2-Chome, Shibuya-ku
 Tokyo, Japan 150-0002

Unfortunately I get the following response;

"According to our records, this account was previously suspended from the Funds Transfer Service therefore it cannot be added at this time. For information relating to this account, please contact a Bank of America customer service representative."

Did you contact customer service? It'd be interesting to hear what they say.

They would know all about shady banking. They had to pay me after winning a class action against them. For shady practices of course.

Write about BoA's responce. I was planning to use BoA with MtGox...

[David Rabahy]

BofA rep indicates the problem is at the Mt. Gox bank.  Apparently Mt. Gox will need to sort it out with their bank.

[EuroTrash]

I'm European and don't have a BoA account but this needs class action indeed.

If only Gox gave us some reassuring info about proceedings with their CoinLab/Silicon Valley Bank deal...

[David Rabahy]

I submitted a support request to Mt. Gox (#75703).

Great...or better ask Coinlab. They are the PROs on US soil in regards to bitcoin trading.

It looks like Bank of America is still blocking wire transfers to gox.

According to our records, this account was previously suspended from the Funds Transfer Service therefore it cannot be added at this time. For information relating to this account, please contact a Bank of America customer service representative.

Just got the above when trying a wire transfer.  Does anyone know a bank that will allow wire transfers?

[David Rabahy]

I'm using Dwolla -> CampBX ok now.

[KeyserSoze]

Citibank has worked with Gox for me.
