BTC-e wire transfer from US bank

[eap904]

Working on setting up a wire transfer from my US bank account to BTC-e.

Googling the subject returned lots of people complaining about problems, and a few people stating they have had no trouble as long as you fill out the transfer information with no errors.

I use a brokerage account at Charles Schwab, and they have a section where you can fill out an international wire transfer form.

I called and spoke with an international wire specialist, who told me that the IBAN number alone will give them all the information they need for the actual money transfer.

I am starting with a $2000 transfer, and I will report on here how much actually ends up in my account.

I placed a ticket on the BTC-e support site, but they seem to be very unhelpful. They copy-pasted the wire info from "USD Deposit" in the finances section, but their response did not include the full line starting with FCC that I see in my account information.

The Schwab rep told me to use the bottom 4 boxes on their form to put in the "FCC" details.

Anyone else want to share their experience with BTC-e from a US account?

Wouldn't it just be easier to use a US based entity like Coinbase or CampBX?

i dont had problems with btc-e in the past. only be sure that you dont hold much money or coins there for a longer time.

Coinbase cancels transactions if the trade goes against them, and CampBX is under DDOS most of the time.  Lots of strange things like needing to log in twice (what happened the first time?)
CoinMKT seems to work, but not so many trades, I wonder if they were more popular would they be DDOS'd too?

You could try coinbase though they sometimes delay transfers or cancel them if price fluctuate in your benefit. bitstamp is supposedly working with US but not sure now.

I've had enough trouble with Coinbase for a while.  I'm sure Charley Lee can sort them out but nothing happens overnight.  I'll give them a month or two.

For what its worth, Coinbase is too famous.  Had my Wells Fargo account mysteriously cancelled after my first ACHs with coinbase.  The bank doesn't need to give a reason for cancels.
So I will wait until I have a Simple account set up with coinbase before I do anymore with them.  Simple likes bitcoin people and businesses, unafraid and a philosophical ally.
