The Kraken website is extremely slow for me. Is it my terrible French internet connection or are others also affected?

It's your connection. Works fine here.

Fidor to Fidor transactions should be sorted out later today. But keep in mind that this is just an estimate, so it could take longer. I'll post an update in a few hours.

We're aware of the issue with bitcoin deposits and looking into it. But please make a ticket for your individual issue if you haven't already.

Connection is fine from here as well. But if others are experiencing a slow connection, let us know.

It seems to work fine again.

Hi Dargo, any idea whats up with SEPA deposits? I've no problem waiting when informed but at the moment I'm just checking the site every half hour it is pretty frustrating. I've deposited several times without any problems.

Kraken was pretty slow for me too a couple of minutes ago.

But I find it more worrying that my BTC deposit still has not shown up, after 50 confirmations.

For me it is kind of "ok" to have troubles with bank transfers, as it might be the banks fault.
Such a delay with a BTC deposit on the other hand is unacceptable.

Sorry nagleatorcoin, I meant to reply to your first post earlier. The issue that's delaying Fidor-Fidor transactions is also delaying other bank transactions. The issue is on Fidor's side, which makes it harder estimate when it will be resolved. There's no impact beyond the delay (which of course is bad, but there's nothing beyond this). I'll keep making updates here, but I don't have further information at the present time.

hmm okay.. all other fidor transfers I made during the weekend and today went through.

Is this delay also affecting withdrawals? Some of the Dutch folks (including me) have had a withdrawal stuck on Pending for a day or so, where normally the status changes to Sent very quickly.

Yes, withdrawals are affected as well.

Ok, thanks for the heads up.

I guess it shows that we're spoiled with next-day or same-day withdrawals when we come running at the forums whenever there's a 1 day delay

[nagleatorcoin]

Thanks for the update Dargo!

What about the Bitcoin deposits?

[Dargo]

Update on the Fidor transfer issue: Fidor is in the process of updating their API, and this will result in a delay of 2 business days for all transfers. We expect the API to be back online tomorrow, but there's a chance that it could take longer. Again, this a delay only, it does not impact the security of your money in any way. Deposits sent to our account will arrive as usual, but it will take longer for the deposit to be credited to your Kraken account. Withdrawal requests will take longer to be sent to Fidor for processing. We're sorry for the interruption in funding - this issue was caused by some work being done on the banking back end and some unanticipated complications arose that now require the update to the API.

[Dargo]

What about the Bitcoin deposits?

Bitcoin deposits should be resolved shortly. We did a fairly routine update to the bitcoin code but apparently this time it caused a few deposit issues. There are also a few litecoin deposit issues and those should be resolved shortly as well.

[nagleatorcoin]

So if I have experienced a delay of 2 business days already I should expect to receive the deposit tomorrow? Or will I have to wait a further 2 business days? Thanks for your help Dargo, much appreciated.

The delay will be at least 2 business days over what the transfer would have otherwise taken. But waiting times for SEPA transfers can vary. Even if they normally post for you next business day, this doesn't mean it will always be that way. Just recently we had some users who normally had next day service, but for some reason their SEPA deposits took 4 business days. We state that SEPA takes 1-4 business days for a reason, because they can take up to 4 business days and it doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. With the temporary extra 2 business day delay, SEPA could temporarily take 3 - 6 business days. Tomorrow would be the earliest you can expect the transfer, but it could take longer.
