Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Stumbled across a few threads and PM'd a few to try to get some insight.

I made a SEPA deposit on 26/06, submitted a request on 29/06 where no had gotten back to me but it was marked as solved. DID the same again on the 05/07 and again 2 days ago. it has now been 2 and a half weeks since I made the transfer, and there has no response or anything from kraken. It is so infuriating. Has this happened to anyone else before?

They asked for my details (kraken ref, IBAN etc.) which I had already submitted to them in the original ticket.  I have contact my bank and they have stated that it has been cleared from my account through them.

Would anyone know a time frame? It says 2-5 days for a SEPA transfer and it's been 16 days now. I've made transfers before and they've been fine. It's very frustrating that I can't access my funds when I need to, and I can't contact anyone there to discuss. I can't even transfer from other wallets to Kraken to withdraw as going by the previous results I might not be able to. They marking my cases as solved too even though no one is talking to me. I feel like there' just some guy there lolling ticking solved at all the requests and just ignoring them.

Any help would be appreciated as it sucks being pied off by the support staff. Cheers guys

Hi Dargo

I tried looking for the answer to this on your help page but couldn't find it.

I was able to close an eth/eur position using my USD. What exchange rate is used in this situation?

Also it doesn't seem to let me 'settle' the position in that situation, but it lets you close it. If you guys are exchanging EUR/USD, why not allow me to settle with USD for a eth/eur position rather than only allowing 'close'?

Wasn't the disabling intentional on your part due to some other problem ?

I tried making 3 SEPA withdrawals last night and they all failed without explanation after a few minutes. The bank accounts were the same I always use.

After that I made a BTC withdrawal and that went fine.

No, it wasn't intentional, it was a technical issue. It has now been resolved though and funding is back online.

whats the matter with kraken atm?
Cant buy or sell due to website freezing when placing orders


Same here. Selling is also a problem. I wanted to sell some BTC at a price that was in the order book (the price that you automatically get when trying to sell) and the order wouldn't get filled. I also get a 10 second freeze or so after placing my order. This is very strange and I just lost the chance to make a bit of profit. I also tried to buy BTC at below market value and below some of the first orders in the order book and my order wouldn't get filled. This cost me some 140 EUR in profit and now I lost like 60 EUR.
I know it's small change, but hey, it's still something.

I've been having a hell of a time trading. As said, I've seen orders in the book that I try to sell or buy from and they don't go through. I even just had a limit buy order in that showed up on the book, then a minute later a big sell came and pushed right down through my limit buy order. Then I see my limit order is gone and was never even filled. It's like they have those fucking bots jumping in front of you at all times, then when it's not going to work out for them they cancel your shit.

Thanks for the reports - Part of it is probably due to heavy traffic/volume on the site, but we'll take a look for anything else that can be addressed.

People only care to comment when they have something to complain about, so in contrast let me share my experience, which is so far positive.

Lvl 1 verification: 4 days
Lvl 2 verification: 5 days
Lvl 3 verification: pending after 10 days (the only thing I'm not satisfied with)

Ethereum deposit: immediately when you get 30 verifications (cca. 15 mins with mist wallet default fee)
Adding a bank account: instant
1st SEPA bank wire withdrawal: 2 days
2nd SEPA bank wire withdrawal: 1 day

The trading interface is intuitive, I've never set anything by accident. I could withdraw a trade order that was partially complete, and the remaining funds were available for trading again in a matter of seconds. Sometimes the screens take 10 seconds to load but I can live with that. I advise people on using 2 factor authentication, that way you're less likely to get hacked.

All in all I had no issues with Kraken and it's my primary platform for trading.

kraken is one of the best exchanges in the industry

im also a huge fan of Jesse Powell as a person

worth listening  to how he got started in Bitcoin on a podcast show

he was featured as a guest by Adam Levine on lets talk bitcoin

Thank you for the kind words.  It's true that clients generally only go to social media to complain and the typical experience most of our clients have is much better than what you might think from social media comments. But of course I don't mean to suggest we don't have issues right now - we absolutely do and are working to fix.

hi Kraken

i wired a USD Swift deposit via SMBC.  on 19th June.

please help me resolve this

i have added all relevant details of swift wire confirmation via support

request (419399)

please help me resolve this

thanks

with all swift wire details

thank you kraken!

bumping this because i need clarification

support ticket 412707

Hi "   "

Thank you for resolving my ticket.

I have a question regarding what you said

"It appears that it was not automatically assigned to your account as the transaction was missing the deposit reference required to automatically assign it to your account."

was this an error on my end or on Kraken's end?

I ask because

a) i was careful to add all the details from Kraken's deposit page
b) i would like this not to happen in future

what should i do next time to make sure this does not happen again? My wire Transfers typically took 24 - 48 hours.

I assume you followed the instructions telling you to include the deposit reference number with the deposit? If so, then I would talk to you bank and explain that the reference number didn't come through. They may not have any suggestions for how to prevent this, but they may be able to recommend a different field to put the reference number in or something like that. Unfortunately even if everything is done correctly with your bank there can still be problems with the reference number not coming through on our end (sometimes the correspondent bank that the payment gets routed through will drop this information for example).

Kraken is becoming a joke.

This is the message I got 14 days ago: Thank you. I have now verified your deposit and forwarded this to our Payments Team. They will be in touch soon.

It is faster to send the money via a post pigeon.

I've sent 10 more SEPA transfers, just less than 1000€ each, to Kraken yesterday (trying to fly under the radar, not sure how effective it is), my French bank took some hours to send them for some reason, still they are credited on Kraken now, so around 24h, not the shortest I've seen but nothing to complain about.

If Kraken has some kind of limits with its bank I'm not hitting it.

why do you use an UNLICENSED(illegal) exchanger(Kraken) when you have Bitstamp(a financial licensed exchanger in Europe)? Smiley

1. Why do we use UNLICENSED (illegal) currency (Bitcoin) when we have dollar and euro (financially licensed currencies in Europe)?
2. Bitstamp asked me to give them a notarized translation of the documents needed for verification. Obviously they don't have support speaking my language. Kraken have.
3. Bitstamp is a dollar exchange. If they claim they're European exchange why is their euro liquidity much less than their dollar liquidity?


1. BTC is a so called "ASSet" Smiley and nothing more. The exchanger must be licensed because they are accepting and sending fiat. It doesn't matter in exchange for...what. They can exchange fiat to shit and shit to fiat. Once they are dealing with fiat, they must have a license.

2. Bitstamp asked you for a notarized translation of the documents because the law(AML, KYC) requires that. You can easily find a legal translator in your country if you really want to "trade". It's one time verification. Same thing it may happen with any genuine forex company(if you already traded, you should know)

3. Bitstamp(or other legal exchanger) is a financial licensed company and they can exchange anything they want(currency, assets) according to their license.


What a sh!tty response... Not surprised Kraken have much larger customer base and doing much better than Bitstamp!


too bad that your are "legendary" and you don't know much about the financial business. it's ok but try to refrain yourself...it's embarrassing Smiley

you and many others seams to be brainwashed , shills, ignorant or kids. I don't know which one...  i cannot find other explanation when you see the facts but you keep going with non-senses Smiley
