Dear Otoh,

Thank you.

The problem has started on the 8th so I can't really take this as definite proof it's working for Lloyds UK but I'll put it in the "maybe" category.

BNP Fortis is still blocking SEPA transfers.

I managed to do a transfer via a small bank on Saturday but it hasn't arrived yet (not sure whether it will be reverted).

Dear Otoh,

Your deposit has been confirmed. We have added $xx,xxx.66 to your Bitstamp account.

Transaction data:
GBP xxxx.00
name name name

xxxxxxxxxxx tx id

Fee: $15.00
EUR/USD exchange rate: 1.3255

Arrived 1 hour ago, sent Thurs 8th PM. from Lloyds UK.

don't know why they put the EUR/USD rate when it was GBP/USD at 1.5591 used, which incidentally is better than the present xe.com spot rate of 1.54729 by over $80, nice.

also, if I'm not mistaken, there are no reports other than when using ING xyz source bank, right?

"ING" and "BNP Paribas Fortis" for sure. That probably means all the banks affiliated/owned with/by ING/BNP (motherships) too.

Just for the record, I sent a 4 figure wire (my first) from Lloyds UK on Fri 2nd & it arrived with BitStamp on Tues 6th, send another on Thurs 8th & hope to see it cleared to my BitStamp account Mon, or Tues at latest, will report back.

Thanks. The problem seems to have started on Aug. 8th.

I went in person to the local branch (not ING, BNP Paribas Fortis), same issue, they can't override the transfer block.

actually, let me try this using my ing-diba account.

if they refuse, I will close shop and take my business to fidor bank who actually like bitcoin.

EDIT: initiated transfer (€500) to bitstamp ljubljana account (IBAN: SI56290000170073837, BIC: BACXSI22XXX, Bank:
UNICREDIT BANKA SLOVENIJA D.D. 1000 LJUBLJANA Österreich) with my bank "ing-diba".

Does that mean it went through or that you have to wait until Monday/Tuesday for a confirmation?

it means I have to wait

I initiated a payment through another bank than ING/BNP, we'll see how it goes (there is no immediate notification with this bank, I need to wait until tomorrow).

Bloody hell, fiat problems with both the biggest exchanges!
I am really looking forward to 2020 when the fiat system is being crushed underfoot by a worldwide stampede to cryptocurrency. We need the p2p fiat/btc transfer system up and running sooner than later...

go physical... localbitcoins.com... ?

Hey, here in Spain ING is doing the same thing, blocking SEPAs to BITSTAMP.

More info about "ING" (A bank):

https://www.ingdirect.es/
Also, ING is a Holland bank that also operates in Spain.
http://www.ing.nl/particulier/index.aspx?first_visit=true
http://www.ing.com/Our-Company.htm

Please post here the name of your Bank.

incidentally this was the same bank (ing-diba) that had intersango account flagged in 2011. Back then however, it was just a "warning" kind of flag that triggered them to call me and write a letter to verify I had initiated transfer.

So they outright refuse to send the money? Well: this is exactly why we need bitcoin. Noone tells you where you can or cannot send your money.

I suspect this is exactly the same flag as is on the Intersango BZWBK account.

Often the transfer can be executed by going into a branch and authorizing in person.

Personally I actually prefer this as it significantly improves the average security level of transfers received.

A reply to my TT this morning: BITSTAMP is "addressing the matter".

That's sort of an upgrade from "we'll look into this".

I still can't send.
