Banks blocking transfers - Hypovereinsbank (that is Unicedit Bank for Germany)
Banks allowing transfers - UniCredit Bank Slovenia

Btw. you do not have to mention here HiFX and Transferwise as they are not capable of transfers relying on a unique code in comment section of a wire transfer.

Yes, banks from the same group blocking or allowing transfers. No obvious rhyme or reason (ING does this too). HiFX and Transferwise are money tranfer companies but they still blocked transactions to Bitstamp, so I'll leave them here for now.

I have been trading on localbitcoins and several german banks have started blocking my IBAN. I'm not sure if it's the same for bitstamp transactions but I'd say so.

For now I know of: Sparda BW

And no problem in CGD bank from Portugal.

I'll keep this post updated, or create a new thread if people think it's best.

Thx. CGD Bank added (Sparda BW was there already).

Thanks for all the info guys.

Has anybody made a transfer of 100k $ to bitstamp? Is anything special necessary for the procedure?

Would this be to risky or is there any better alternative to buy a large amount of btc?

Thanks again.

I made large transfers in and out, the only thing is when you trigger AML alarm they ask you to answer 6 questions when you do it will take a couple of days to verify the answers then you are good.

How exactly is AML triggered?

Thanks!

It would be a crime to say exactly, it varies from company to company, but the legal max is £10k. This is lower (but not specific) for high risk transactions, but it's up to the provider to set their AML thresholds, and that needs to remain private to comply with the law.

And in the end, they are insolvent ...

Dear Bitstamp clients,

On November 22nd and 23rd, 2013 an on site due diligence was carried out in respect of Bitstamp Ltd. on behalf of a 3rd party.

Bitstamp’s balance of BTC was validated by temporarily creating the largest single Bitcoin wallet and in the process the largest Bitcoin transaction in history.

The report identified that Bitstamp held 100% of validated BTC balance and USD funds. No material issues were raised as a consequence of the 3rd party’s investigations.

Original statement

Best regards,
Bitstamp team

Please add the following to the BLOCKED list, they have refused my 20k USD withdrawal from Bitstamp (taking more than a week and then deciding without providing any explanation, typical frenchy bankster style):

Country: Luxembourg
Bank: ING Luxembourg
Transfer type: Wire USD

Date: 28/02/2014

Thanks!

Done.

Thanks.

they have problems. Bitstamp will be the next Mt. Gox.

Why do they have problems?

I just deposited an xxxxEUR amount on bitstamp (SEPA). It took 1.5 businees days. I then traded these to bitcoins and withdrew these bitcoins to a private wallet immediately. BTC withdrawal was done in a few minutes. So no problem for me at all.

Still a happy customer.
