Has anyone tried SEPA Transfer from Wirex to Kraken ?

Hi all, has anyone tried SEPA transfer from Wirex to Kraken. First of all is it allowed by Kraken, as mentioned in Kraken's site, transfer from some Payment Processor like TransferWise will  be automatically rejected.
In Wirex's transfer page, I do not see any textbox for me to type in the reference code as given by Kraken (AA23 XXXX XXXX XXXX kraken.com). How do you put it ?

Please advice. Thank you.

I would advise you DON'T do money (SEPA) transfers from Wirex, at least not for a while and only after doing more research.
I've read not long ago in the Wirex thread that SEPA transfers simply don't work and the partner bank has no better support than the one from Wirex.

Thanks for the heads up ... I just did a SEPA transfer from Wirex to Payoneer on May/22 and it works ...
Although just a small amount, the SEPA transfer in Wirex is indeed working. Just have to make sure that both the sender and recipient in the same currency.

I've just initiated a SEPA transfer from Wirex to Kraken. Turns out that the textbox to key in the reference code is towards the end of the transaction process in wirex.
Hopefully the funds will reach kraken. It has already been 2 days and my funds are no way to be seen in Kraken.

Thanks guys

The Wirex thread also has a success reported for SEPA transfers (actually two - one to Wirex and one from Wirex).
It's from today.

Good luck & let us know how it went

Be careful because Payoneer TOS clearly say they don't allow digital currency activities. If they decide to label Wirex as a crypto related company your Payoneer account will be in trouble. And you can admit it's easy to define Wirex as a crypto related company, I mean it's a matter of time before they do.

Final update.

The funds did not reach Kraken, it was withheld by Onpex the bank which Wirex is using. After a month waiting for the funds to be returned back to me, Onpex finally released the money and Wirex refunded back to me today. It is not true that SEPA is not working, infact SEPA works. Becareful when you are sending funds to a crypto exchange as not many banks are happy about it.

If you are not sure, just try to send a small amount.


Cheers.
