Any plans to add CHF as currency?
There is still no exchange expect MtGox where you can trade with CHF. There are many Bitcoiners in Switzerland (compared to the amount of people living here) and CHF is used as an investment currency worldwide.
CHF has very low volumen. Even South Africa Rand ZAR has more!

Hi, how long does it take usually to process pending wire transfer under 500 USD?

In your FAQ it is stated that it takes 3 business days. In my case my withdraw request is in pending state since Monday.

what should I do? Should I wait? Then how long? or should I open a support ticket?

Please advice

How much does SEPA transfer from Switzerland to you cost? Are they free?
Costs for sending transfers depends on your bank. So ask them. But I'd wager the costs will be the same as wiring to Bitstamp (both use Eurozone banks).

On bitstamp I have to pay 15$ while EU customers don't have to, don't know why.
Get the Swiss folks to vote in favour of EU membership next time. We have cookies.

Can I do a EUR SEPA Withdrawal to my Swiss bank account? Your website says to all EEA countries, Switzerland isn't part of the EEA.
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Euro_Payments_Area), Switzerland is part of the SEPA-agreement.

The FAQ on the site have been greatly expanded to cover many of the support questions we are getting. It still needs some work, but it's a big improvement. Hopefully many who are waiting for an answer from support can go here to find their issue.

Hey Dargo,
If you are still about maybe you (or someone else) could help us out at another thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/kraken-sepa-withdrawls-failing-350731

Basically, a few people seem to be having problems doing SEPA withdrawals at the moment.  In fact we cant even get the accounts to add on Kraken as it just gives us a 'Bad data' error.  I have also opened a ticket with your support desk (#5966) but I figure it'll probably be a couple of days before your support staff can deal with it so I thought I would just try my luck here as well.

A few questions:

Do you have any plans to add lending? Like bitfinex?

Deposits and Withdrawals are both working for customers with Fidor banks accounts.

To deposit:

Log into your Kraken account and go to Account > Funding > Deposit > EUR > Wire Transfer.

Get our Fidor bank account number you see there and use this to "send money" from your Fidor account.

In your Cash manager on the Fidor website. Go to:
 "Transactions" (Überweisungen)
"via FidorPay Account" (via FidorPayKonto)
"send money" (Geld senden)

To Withdraw:

Log into your Kraken account and go to Account > Funding > Deposit > EUR > SEPA. Get Fidor's BIC from there.

Then go to Funding > Withdraw > EUR > SEPA. Add your Fidor account using your own Fidor IBAN and Fidor's BIC. We will then convert this to a Fidorpay "send money" transaction.

Deposits and withdrawals for Fidor customers will be credited to accounts several times per day (and perhaps hourly in the future).

Geez, I wish I had a Fidor account!  Cool


I'm seriously impressed. I put a company through full regulatory approval in the UK which takes around 6 months and started on a USA project for them. How your getting around the USA regulatory hurdles with Fidor is good going.

Best of luck. there needs to be more professional exchanges to stop people getting scammed.

Assuming that the withdrawal counted toward the limit at the moment you initiated it in your account, that doesn't sound right. But it may be that it didn't count till sometime later. I'll see if I can get more clarity about when exactly a withdrawal counts toward the limit. 



It's like I said before...


Could you work on the status of withdrawals ?
I want to say, after a withdrawal reached my bank account I have to wait one additional day, till the status on kraken is "success".
Together with the limit (let's say 2k/day) I can only withdraw 2k every 3 days! (order withdrawal, next day it arrives on my bank account, next day "success", but daylimit is reached.)

Thanks for drawing this to my attention Serpens - I've been so busy it's been hard to keep up with the thread. I'll look into this and see what can be done.

Regarding the withdrawal window of 24h - I just don't get it.

For instance, I made a (SEPA) withdrawal 2 days ago.
It was credit to my account yesterday - BTW, thanks for that Cheesy. Much better then 1+months I had with another exchange.
Today, however, the withdrawal is still being counted toward my daily limit?
It seems as if the window is longer than 24h, or there is something wrong somewhere?

The number of accounts on our exchange has tripled in the past two weeks from an already pretty good size. While we are happy with the sudden jump in popularity, this has, from the standpoint of quick verification and responsive customer support, simply been too much too fast.

I apologize on behalf of the whole team to everyone out there who has been waiting a long time for verification or to hear back from support. It's been our intention with Kraken from the start to have quick verification and excellent customer support. I think we were meeting that goal pretty well up until two weeks ago when the sheer volume of new accounts began to overwhelm us.

The sudden jump caught us by surprise and we're reacting as fast as we can to accommodate it, but my guess is that it's going to be several weeks at least before we recover. In the meantime, verification and support are going to be *very* slow - we have a staggering queue in both areas to work through. We appreciate everyone's patience and please understand that we are working as hard as we can to help you, but the sheer volume we've had in the past two weeks is simply beyond our capacity (and yes we are taking steps to greatly increase our capacity).

+1 CSV exports would be nice. Wink

Verifications, if you can get through them in time, will surely boost the exchange - I was lucky and got verified within minutes just a couple weeks before the frenzy.

CSV export is a planned feature, and I'm going to try to push for sooner than later on this one since we've had a lot of requests for it.

@dargo I filed a ticket a few days ago because i thought my funding limit utilization was calculated incorrectly. I haven't had a response yet but i think the answer may be one of your 'features' again so ill ask it here.
My problem was that daily limit is filled up every time while i haven't made any deposits/withdrawals during that day. Could it be that daily limit is actually a 24h rolling window limit? Haven't been able to verify this a 100% but it sure looks like it.

Assuming this is true, maybe you could change that to a limit per business day, within some definition of business day. Because with this 24h definition the limit will be for strictly longer then a day, because in the best case you can put in a withdrawal the second after your limit frees up. For deposits it's even worse as the arrival time might vary a few hours for fiat i'd imagine, which means you would either have to accept your account being frozen a few hours, or keep a day between deposits.
If you are willing (and legally able) to change this, i'd vouch for a business day to end at the cut-off time for eur/usd (whichever is earliest) transfers at your bank. This way you can transfer any fiat you want to have for that day and have your limits freed up for crypto transfers during the evening as no fiat transfers will be executed untill the next day anyway.

Yes, it's a 24 hour rolling window. I want to emphasize again that if you find yourself trying to squeak under the limit on a regular basis, this means you should verify to the next level to increase your limits. The system isn't really intended for maxing out the limit on a daily basis, and we're not very interested in trying to enable this behavior. We'll consider whether a change might be needed, but even if we did change it, I expect it would still be somewhat inconvenient for someone trying to max out the limit on successive days.

We highly recommend that you stay comfortably clear of the limits and avoid back-to-back deposits/withdrawals that have any chance of falling in the same 24 hour window and sending you over limit. If you can't fund your account this way to your satisfaction, then you need a higher funding limit and should apply for a higher verification tier.

And don't forget that the funding limits are cumulative across deposits and withdrawals in all currencies. Isn't regulation fun?  Tongue

before adding the next baby coin, maybe adding CSV export, to increase the trading volume at all.
With this tiny volume and the market maker bots, you get many tiny tiny order fills and dont know your e.g. average price and its not possible to do accounting.


should kraken a serious exchange or a playground for teenagers?

Add PPC/BTC and PPC/USD to Kraken. We've seen a lot of interest in PPC and hope that you can include this alt coin on your exchange.
thanks!
