I think for a while it was instant, but I'm going to guess too many scammers were coming in and buying the max amount of coins allowed for there limit. Then obviously once they transfer the coins, the coins were gone from Circle.  Then to only find out that probably the banking details giving weren't any good either.

I could be wrong, it could also be up to there "class" system that they've had a for while.  Some qualify for large limits while others don't quite qualify as well.

I'm not sure about Circle but I know that Coinbase offers the same thing which means you can buy Bitcoins Instantly using your Bank account and they will debit the money in two or three days , so that should be your best alternative in case you can't use Circle anymore .

Are you sure Coinbase gives you your coins instantly when you fund your account from the bank account and not a credit card? They are using ACH and I think that you have to wait for the money to appear in your coinbase account.

I might be wrong though!

The guy does say it'll take two to three days for the transaction to clear...

Are you certain? Sure ACH takes a while. But interact in Canada is instant. So while bank transfers are not instant, they are very quick. Takes 1 day for money to be deposited into my bank account too.

I used Coinbase but recently my purchase orders get canceled. None the less, with Coinbase you need to have a Credit Card (real CC) attached and not a debit bank card, in order for those purchases to be instant. And even then, you have limits to work around.

My question was simply directed at a recent program with Circle.com registered members, the coins were ACH 1-5 days but you had a sum-dollar amount, e.g $100 - $500, whereas, these appeared Instantly available for spending. So they would advance you money based on you purchase order and mine limit was $200.00. Now this option disappeared and I've like know if anyone has notice this too?

I know you can purchase coins on Circle via Debit Card for a small fee.

Do they still offer instant purchase via Bank, they had this program where you would buy an amount and $200 appeared instantly in your account. You still had to wait for the rest of your deposit to clear.

I buy coins all the time via Circle, but I no longer see this option appear on my account, not sure because I have credit card.

Anybody?
