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.

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

It seems to work fine again.

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.

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.
thanks Smiley

edit: "very bad" means it takes ~ 1 minute to load the site.

I deposited via Fidor to Fidor transaction on February 22nd which should be instant, but no EUR on Kraken until now. :-(

I've read all the positive recommendations here, but now I'm a little bit annoyed.

Hello Drago,

We have two USD withdrawals initiated on Jan 28th and Jan 29 amounting to nealy USD $4500. We have waited for 10 business days and since this still did not move we have canceled the withdrawals.

Today 2 weeks later our money still in "Pending state". Multiple requests to support remain unanswered.

Please take a look at those for us to have it cancelled and  the funds moved to USD balance so we can trade BTC. At this point our money were locked in for nearly a month, would appreciate a quick resolution.

Transfer IDs: ACDMGGB and ACDNS4S

Thank you.

Those aren't complete transactions IDs - you have to click on the link to get the complete ID. But really what I need to help you is a support ticket number (just PM me the ticket number).

So now 3 days passed since your announcement, and my USD withdraw is still pending. If I try to cancel it I get "internal Error" message.
I replied to the ticket to get it converted in Euro, but no answer...

Net Result: my money blocked since 20 of Jan (33 days..) and no support answer on my ticket since 13 of Feb (10 days ago) despite my replies...

That red cancel button is misleading because you actually can't cancel withdrawals after the first minute or so after you place them (we need to change this so the button turns grey or something similar). A support agent will answer your ticket, but the update is that we'll be cancelling all the outstanding withdrawals soon (should be tomorrow) and then we'll start the euro conversion. We couldn't cancel the withdrawals immediately because we needed to go through them and double check to make sure we don't cancel any that have already been sent. We're working to get this done as soon as possible, but it's a highly manual process, so it's not fast.

This has been going on more than a month now and I still don't have the money in my account. My bank tells me that the deposit arrived in Kraken's bank directly with no intermediary bank involved. My bank quoted the name and company (Kraken Payward Etc Etc) and account details down the phone to me, they spoke directly with Kraken's bank:

"I heard back from our bank about your case. They say they still can't find the deposit even after talking to your bank. They are now asking for more information about the deposit:
(1) The "value" of the transaction. This is a technical banking term meaning the date at which the transaction is supposed to have become available to the receiving bank. You bank should be able to find this date. Our bank needs it because they can search this date for your transaction.
(2) The exact EUR amount. You sent GBP, so it may not be easy to find this amount. But if you bank can run a trace on the deposit, they may be able to find this. Again, our bank needs it because it's a term that can be searched for.
(3) Exactly what was put in the subject or reference line of the transaction (also a term they can do a search for). This is probably where you put your Kraken public account ID, but we need to know exactly what went there.
Since (1)-(3) are things that only your bank can know, you'd think our bank would have asked for them when they talked to your bank. I'm going to suggest that they get the info from your bank, but my guess is that the quickest way to advance things is going to be for you to contact your bank and get them."

In red is the unbelievable reply I got from Kraken. Perhaps it should read something like. "We have been on the phone to our bank and we are planning on tearing them a new one." I am just so f***ing over Kraken's support.

My bank has repeatedly contacted Kraken's bank.

WTF. This is absolutely ridiculous.


Hi shockload - I think the bit in red could have been stated better. Maybe it gives the impression that "our bank should have collected this info but oh well they didn't, so now it's your problem" - but I assure you that wasn't the intended message. The problem with our bank's reply is recognized and you're told that something is being done about it. Just because it doesn't say we're going to "tear our bank a new one" doesn't mean that we aren't making a serious effort to get our bank to do what they should have done - i.e. get this info directly from your bank. It's certainly ridiculous that our bank communicated with your bank but didn't even get all the necessary information to sort this out. The suggestion that it would be faster for you to get the information from your bank is not what you want to hear, I understand, but it's probably true. The right thing here is for our bank to contact your bank and get this sorted out, and we're asking them to do this, but the right way might not be the fastest way.   

I'm not saying that you have no reason to be very angry, you most certainly do. I just think the heart of the problem is with our bank's reply saying that they've talked to your bank, but now need info from you that they could have just gotten from your bank. The bit in red is recognizing that problem, so I don't see that's it's so horrible, though as I said, it could have been stated better.

USD Deposits Temporarily Disabled

Unfortunately, we've reached the limit of our US bank's capacity to deal with the volume on our account. Many USD withdrawals have been delayed beyond a limit we can accept, and it reflects poorly on our service. Rather than continue to disappoint, we've decided to suspend USD deposits until a more robust banking partner is acquired. In the meantime, USD withdrawals and trading will continue to be available, though we strongly encourage USD traders to shift to our EUR pairs. Most major banks will allow you to send EUR even if your account only holds USD.

All pending USD withdrawals not already in transit will be canceled within 24 hours and users will have the funds available again.

In order to lighten the burden on USD withdrawals and speed up the process, we're offering a 2% bonus for users willing to convert their USD balances to EUR balances. You may then trade EUR or withdraw EUR. EUR withdrawals are generally processed within 1 business day. If your bank only supports USD, withdrawing EUR to it will likely result in a < 1% conversion fee. Please contact us for details.

If you still wish to receive your USD withdrawal, please resubmit it.

Personally, I want to apologize for the long delays some of you have experienced with your USD withdrawals. I know how important it is to have your money when you need it and we've failed to provide timely service. I have been pleased with our banking partner for EUR, and the level of service we've been able to provide there. I appreciate your patience while we navigate the treacherous waters of the legacy banking system. The weather is nice in San Francisco but I'm glad you're not picketing outside our office Smiley

but how can I convert my USD Balances in EUR Balances? I see no options on Kraken for this operation

Let us know that you want to convert to EUR by replying to your support ticket (or open one if you don't already have one). You can also PM me with your ticket number.

Anyone here had BTC deposit problems ?  I deposited 2 BTC 3 days ago while I had only Tier 2 verified and seemed to have surpassed my deposit limit. Then I sent my documents and on the next day I had Tier 3 verified, but now after 2 more days I still don't have my deposit.

The transaction https://blockchain.info/bg/tx/c9bffe1ef2240861e353efdc68aaa740d7f3fd6f96d8b151088500500bebc58e is now confirmed hundreds of times but it still has not appeared in my Kraken balance.

I wrote to their support 2 days ago, noone is giving me answers.

I hope someone here could help.

EDIT: BTC finally appeared.

Bitcoinity is offering extra exposure for the first exchange that proves it is running a full reserve operation with its Bitcoin-deposits. A scheme to provide such proof without violating client privacy was explained by gmaxwell, using a setup that resembles the Merkle tree that is used for transactions in blocks.
