Kraken has done well by me so far.
Last month I made two SEPA transfers in, bought bitcoins and moved them out to my own wallet.
Last week I moved bitcoins in, sold them on Friday and initiated a SEPA transfer that showed up in my account on Monday. All good!

Does anyone know the best (safest / cheapest) way to transfer funds from the UK to Kraken. I know I can ask my bank to do a wire / SEPA, but I dislike the poor exchange rate, the fees and the general hassle of not being able to do it online.
1. Open an EUR bank account.2. try sending GBP to bitstamt via intern. wire (it seems they offer this opportunity in deposit settings. for me as EUR customer it works very well and the exchange rates from bitstamt bank is really ok!)
buy btc at bitstamt, send them to kraken and do your LTC, NMC, or BTC/EUR trades...
if you only want trade BTC its no obligatory need for kraken.

had the same issue some days ago! waited 1 day.. magically was on my account
I've been nothing but supporting of Kraken and advertised it at every opportunity, but this is a serious issue.
Here's the issue and what I wrote to support too:
Hi,
I sent 2 BTC to Kraken. After 12 confirmations, no show.
My public account ID is AA32 N84G MTA6 YAFY
This is the address used (the newly generated one):
http://i.imgur.com/lSnVJZI.png
This is the tx of the transaction:
https://blockchain.info/en/tx/72680fc90482730b33ec7e7f96c0e59fd0157fb2e836dd7e83b910a156daa20d
I waited and waited but now I'm worried. That is a lot of money for me.
Everything seems 100% in order on my side. The tx is there, the
transaction went through, the address is correct, there are more than 10
confirmations, my account is not getting the funds. Please help.
"Thanks for contacting Kraken Support. Your request (7271) has been received."
Could you potentially try to deal with this and let me know where my money is?

Well I'm getting a bit worried here today. I would love to just get an acknowledgement of some kind like "Yeah, we see it's there, it's coming don't worry everything is fine."
Already got scammed a couple of times and I really don't know which way to turn anymore to find something reliable.
SOLVED.
However, I don't know why it takes so much time. BTC transfers ought to be instant, not 38 confirmations.

I have an XE Trade account, but their free transfer option does not allow a reference to be included. I've been thinking about opening a Currency Fair account, but I'm concerned that either they will not allow transfers to bitcoin exchanges or Kraken will need the desposit to be in my name - does anyone know whether this will work?
I'm sure there must be a simple solution. Any help would be much appreciated.

Wait until they get rid off the work that they have pending, otherwise you can find yourself waiting some time for the transfer to be credited

Take a chair and wait.... I have been waiting more than 24 hours for a 90 NMC deposit. NMC deposit not credited (request #7125) Hope they will fix it soon *do they manually deposit the funds or what?

Any ETA on your Ripple gateway being launched?
We don't have an ETA, but it should happen relatively soon - as in, we'd be very surprised if it didn't happen within a month.
Any update?
I fully expect that the huge surge in signups and verification avalanche pushed the Ripple launch back, but I'm still curious.
I haven't heard anything about the Ripple gateway launch, but I would expect it's been pushed back a bit. I'll ask about it and let you know when I get a chance.

)) kraken is not so kraken. Any infos on ABA routing deposits? Can seams to find a clue on google about that. ACH yes bit ABA no. Any help appreciated
ABA is just for the US, and even if you're in the US, there's no real difference between ABA and regular wire. I think we offered the choice because there's supposed to be a difference, but then with our bank it turns out not to matter.
For anybody who isn't in the US, or doesn't absolutely need USD funding for some other reason, I highly recommend funding in EUR - our EUR markets are much more liquid right now and EUR deposits tend to be faster, especially if you can do SEPA.
I'd say the kraken isn't as kraken as I'd like it to be, but I'm confident we'll be kraken again soon.

Any idea what the Tier 3 queue looks like? I've submitted my forms friday a week ago, so it's been like ten days now.
Verification is slow, but not that slow. Did you check the email associated with your Kraken account to see if we contacted you about it? And check the spam folder too? If you can't find an email, please PM me your public account ID and I'll take a look.
December 02, 2013, 08:54:42 PM
Hi everyone - so far as we know, the log in issue has been resolved. It seems to only have affected a few users for a short while, but please submit a ticket or post here if you are still having an issue. We think it was caused by a few changes we were making to the site around the time the issue appeared.
Customer support and verification are still going very slow, but should start speeding up from here since we've hired lots of help. I'm sorry I haven't been as active on the forum lately, but I've really got my hands full at the moment.

Login problems for me were resolved sometime yesterday afternoon.
As to the verification queue, I dunno, but I only applied about a week ago and they had me verified up to Tier 3 in about 3 days. I saw another user complaining on Reddit about having applied two weeks ago and was still waiting for verification, so I can only guess that there is a problem with your verification or its not a first-in-first-out structure for account applications....

Same here. The page says 48h but... i'm actually waiting 144 hours and counting.Which actually pisses me off. because i missed a great buy opportunity. As tier 0&1 i can't trade with EUR
Hope this week my account get verified if not, ill pull my funds and move off to another platform, I guess.
