Bitstamp's at UniCredit (SLO) too, it would be surprising if you had issues.

BNP Paribas.

Thx. BNP Paribas Fortis was blocking the transfers. These bankers make no sense.

In English:
"The payee's bank returned the payment order. Reason: Regulatory requirements."

I.e. it was bitstamp's bank in Slovenia who returned the wire transfer.

Bank called me. Despite the message above it turned out it was actually my bank that was responsible for the return! The transaction was marked suspicious by some automatic filter ("embargo filter", has nothing to do with a political embargo). Now that they know the transaction really is from me it should be ok, also for future transactions.

My guess is many banks use similar filters or even the very same filters from some provider company. Now Bitstamp got on a grey list because there was a relative high amount of fraud going on (as expected). This causes trouble for everybody as banks have to double check transactions. Thank you fraudsters.

Norisbank (DE).

For the record: I didn't have any problems transfering money from my German bank account to BitStamp around May/June/July. Not tested recently though. Each time 500-1000 EUR. Bank used: Deutsche Bank (German bank).

I had no issue before August either. We're now past mid-October and they're still not cleared. I had informed them back then, this is taking wayyy too long.

Thx for the info, I'll add it to the list when you can confirm a recent transfer.

Please add SwedBank from Sweden to the blacklist. Here is a link on how they froze a woman's account for selling on local bitcoins http://www.coindesk.com/swedish-bank-freezes-customers-account-sells-5-btc/

ING Direct (Spain): I confirm that they do not allow SEPA transfers to Bitstamp, got denied 24/10/2013.

CIB Bank in Hungary (subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo) is bullying its customers who want to get involved with Bitcoins. I've heard many stories and had experience myself too. They made me fill out a multi-page form for trying to wire 40 euros (!!!) to an exchange, and asking me for proof of home address(!) and passport copies (!!!) of beneficial owners of the exchange business itself. How nonsense that is, right?

I told them that having Nejc Kodric's papers would mean I could steal his identity so I am sure they're just joking.

I also told them that my deposit account with them holds my savings and I am not willing to trust them anymore with it unless they provide me with proof of home address of their bank's beneficial owners. Guess what, they couldn't provide it, so I cashed out and closed my account.

In contrast, Magnet Bank was super friendly and I had many transactions go through without any problems. In fact they're a very forward looking, socially responsible green bank in Hungary.
