We are currently working on bringing a new international USD funding service to our platform, hopefully we will have this available for our clients very soon!

If you have any questions, we are happy to help!

Any update? Another month has passed by, 6 months of it in this thread so far.

As your team appears to be utterly incompetent at establishing banking relations perhaps consider engaging a specialist firm like https://www.healyconsultants.com/

It has gotten beyond ridiculous how everyone else has managed to improve and fix their banking side and yet 1.5 years later and you guys haven't managed to do anything.

Kraken, did you forgot the last bullrun and how useless kraken was?
To be fair it is not (yet) as bad as it was 1-2 years ago, but since 10-15 minutes trading at kraken is impossible, as it is always when price is moving fast. This is true for API [520] and for website (stuck at "submit order" page).

Common, do you really want again to loose thousands of customers because your website/trading engine is not stable during price movements?!?!
I can't believe that kraken is again so bad, you learned nothing from the last time?

edit: it is going over 1 hour now!

Not only trading but everything is impossible. It takes me so long just to load a page, and of course when I need to use Kraken. Sometimes the page is loaded but I have box appearing with the message "Loading..." lol, so I keep clicking this fucking F5 button!
Can't believe, it's like surfing the web 30 years ago

What about to become proactive in 2019? No lesson learned?

Use Bitstamp for fiat and major coins, Bittrex and/or Binance for everything else. Thank me later.

Bitcoin, the only place where the B team wins every time

Hello Kraken, I have been using your service since 2017. I like that you have IBAN deposits and everything, makes my life very easy with low fees and 1-hour deposit.
However, I would like to see credit card deposit and withdrawals in your exchange as well.
Do you have any plans to do so?

Don't worry about that. Credit cards will soon be irrelevant, especially in Europe.

SEPA Instant Credit Transfer is coming and with it transfers in seconds.

AppliedOptimal,

While it's something we currently do not offer, it's certainly something up for potential exploration by the team in the future - ultimately depending on user interest and demand.

Kraken Scheduled Downtime

Kraken is performing a system upgrade on Sunday July 14 at 21:00 UTC. Please expect services to be offline for 3 – 8 hours.

All spot exchange services including trading, funding and account access will be temporarily disabled. Margin positions won’t be closed or liquidated. Check our status page (https://status.kraken.com/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/krakenfx) for updates and an announcement when the upgrade is complete.

The purpose of this downtime is to improve latency and performance, as well as enable us to bring you more exciting features in the near future.

I stopped using Kraken a long time ago, as I have little interest in the coins they offer and I can't stand their website's layout.  It's nowhere as intuitive as many other exchanges, and quite a few members who posted above have listed different issues which make Kraken suck. 

And yeah, what I'm really looking for nowadays is a way to link up my bank account with a crypto exchange.  Poloniex does wire transfers, but that doesn't help me, and Coinbase nuked me years ago.  You really have to catch up with the times, Kraken.

Hello The Pharmacist,

Thank you for your feedback.

Considering it's been a long time since you used Kraken, can I suggest taking another look? We've made quite a lot of improvements over the last 2 years. Kraken Pro and Kraken Futures may be of interest if you give them a look. You can also use our platform Cryptowat.ch to trade across multiple exchanges from a single interface.

Additionally, we do offer bank wire transfers.

Check out our fiat deposit options here: https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000381846-Fiat-currency-deposit-options-fees-minimums-and-processing-times-

Our fiat withdrawal options: https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000423043-Fiat-currency-withdrawal-options-fees-minimums-and-processing-times-

Kind regards,

I don't remember who said SEPA transfers will soon be instants with EU banks but just to say it already exists since sometimes, I have this option in my bank account, it works great but not every time (it doesn't work if you make a SEPA transfer to a bank mobile app or neobanks)

@ThePharmacist
I complain but I still use Kraken regularly for 3 years . I was still here even when the website performance was horrible during months. I like it to trade crypto to Euros because during these 3 years I had zero problems with SEPA transfers, no matter what people say it works like a clock every day, so I consider the site reliable since.
I don't care much about the layout, I like ugly websites btw, even the previous was good to me. But it pisses me off to not getting why such platform isn't more proactive nowadays.

I said it, about 5 post ago. True, some banks have had instant transfer for a while.

But now this is coming to every bank in the SEPA area. Max 10 seconds for transfers between any two accounts up to 15k €. 24/7/365.

(15k€ per transaction or per day?)
I didn't know it was becoming popular I thought they considered me VIP . Neither there is a limit of 15k€. But the current limit I have is
1 instant transfer daily. I believe I need to pay a fee if I want to make more instant transfers ( like 1€ per transaction). 
To be honest, it's a long time since banks invented something useful.

Thanks for the answer, but when do you suppose this "SEPA Instant Credit Transfer" will arrive?
My stupid bank does not allow letters in the explanation box of the transfer, so I have to move my money to another bank within-country first, and then use that 2nd bank to send Euros to Kraken. I even filed a complaint with my bank but they do not care. I don't want to change banks and I don't want to keep paying fees that are simply waste, just to move my own money anymore.

50% of the network is already using it. The rest are actively upgrading. I think most banks/providers will be ready by end of 2019.
