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.

Hey I have been waiting for the tier 3 verification for a few days now. I already had the 1 and 2 any estimation on how long its currently taking to get verified?

It might get faster since we are hiring more verification agents, but it could take 4 weeks or more unfortunately because we have a large backlog of accounts waiting for verification.

Once BTC price is $10,000 by winter all verifications for Gemini and Kraken will be approved! Tongue
Then all the new people can buy in and slide the slide back to $1,000.

Here is clever idea - why not pool together and do a verification system that approves you for all exchanges with one application!!??
Or maybe verify you based on being approved and trusted at another exchange.
Or maybe have a physical location where you can walk in and give blood and give your soul over to Lord Bitcorn. (Or just an ID.)

Funny to see people who have been using Coinbase for years not even ALLOWED to trade on Gemini at all. And not able to be verified to withdraw a single dollar on Kraken with no support response in weeks.

Sad for the industry right now. Looks like banks win this round. Way easier to setup a bank account. 15 minutes in and out.
And no excuse as Gemini and Kraken have had years already to prepare.

KYCcoin? Great idea. And we kinda do this cryptographic - ID association already, automatically, when you think about it.

Hello Kraken,

I transferred a $5K+ Wire deposit from a USD account at a Swiss bank on June 19th (today is June 29) which showed up in my account on the same day but it is still "On Hold" and I don't know why.

I submitted Tickets 394721, 398620, and 408267 with the wire details but haven't received a response.  I am Tier 4 verified.

Please advise.

Thank you,
cb



Half a day later I received an email with the following statement:
"The deposit has now been released. Future deposits from the same name/IBAN-combination should not be held."

All is well now and I have made my first trade. Thanks for taking care of it!

Hi, this is a PSA/warning about Kraken that I wish I had gotten a month ago: **DO NOT SEND THEM FIAT!** I sent a USD Wire to Kraken. Their website claims 1-5 Business days it has been 15! After 7 business days I submitted a ticket. Three days later I got a canned response that my issue would be forwarded. I replied 4 hours later that I would go public in three more business days, it has been 6 days and no answer. Sorry I didn't warn all of you sooner!

PLEASE Stay away from KRAKEN!!!

Take a look around, there are hundreds of these exact type of posts about Kraken right now.

So Kraken, what is up with your banking problems? Why don't you just be honest?

Have been waiting for almost 2 weeks by now Sad Do you mean verification might take 4 weeks from now or since application?

Can someone at Kraken please push Ticket #409290?
Fidor payments are not credited (old customer / fully verified)

For some reasons, Fidor-Fidor-SEPA deposits take several hours lately. Not long ago it used to be minutes. Any comments as to why this changed, Dargo?
Multiple reasons...
1. Sometimes your name is not shown. In this case the transaction is shortly successfull, but not creidted. then it disappears. After several hours it appears again, but "onhold".
2. Fidor transaction limit. I was told that there is a fixed daily limit of incoming transactions Kraken can handle. Kraken has a workaround for this, but this has to be done manually by few specific guys. So they usually do it after enough people wrote support tickets about missing transfers.
3. And even more reasons...

All in all it is unfortunaltey this way:
If you have an alternative to Kraken, then do not use Kraken at the moment.
Wait until they solved all these problems like website/api being bad/unreachable. Market orders (or limit orders which should be filled) taking minutes to execute, while other orders come through, even if they were placed after yours) . Stale orderbooks...

Deposit was credited yesterday. On #2 above, my understanding is that it's a daily transaction limit set by Fidor and doesn't have anything to do with how many transactions we can handle technically. There are a number of issues right now for sure that we are working to address and people should be aware and cautious for that reason, but if the main issue you're seeing is that deposits take several hours to credit instead of several minutes, that doesn't seem like something that should stop you.

Actually it IS a problem when a deposit which normally takes ~30 Minutes to become credited now takes several hours (todays deposit I sent ~12h ago is still not credited, but at least now shows up as "onHold"). This is new for me and I have been using Kraken because I was able to deposit fast using fidor. If you are working on that I can wait some time, but if you claim that there is not even a problem I should consider another exchange (in Germany bitcoin.de also works with fidor).

Yes, it's a problem, didn't mean to suggest it isn't.
