Today is Saturday 27 August 2011. Mt Gox still writes (including the underlining):
Quote from: MtGox_Website
Euro deposits are currently offline until Friday August 20th 2011 in worst case.
(side note: The 20th of August was anyway a Saturday, not a Friday.

Mt Gox has now updated the text, it now says:

But with TradeHill, I have another problem, see here

You're out of luck then... Wait until things get sorted out or use another exchange (bitmarket.eu or intersango for example)

I used their Barclays account (GBP). I sent 300€ on monday and had it on my account on wednesday.
SEPA worked for me here in germany. My bank doesnt charge anything for that.
MtGox charged 2% for EUR/GBP exchange.

Hello,

I want to add EUR funds to my MtGox account, but a strange and obsolete message appears:

Quote
Euro deposits are currently offline until Friday August 5th 2011 in worst case. The bank account should have been opened on Tueday July 19th, however the new bank needs approval from higher up due to the large amount of funds, and the nature of the business. They said they would have an answer by Thursday, which should allow them to open the bank account Friday, however if they don't make it, the next business day will be the next Tuesday (they are closed on monday).

tl;dr: A new EUR bank account will be announced on Friday August 5th 2011 in worst case.

If you have an urgent need of depositing funds, it is possible through our GBP account, for a 2% exchange fee.
Bank details:
Account Owner: TIBANNE LIMITED
Bank Name: BARCLAYS
[...]

Today is the 11th of August, so the message is obsolete since a week. Seems that everyone at Mt.Gox is in summer vacation...

Do you know if fee-less SEPA Euro Bank Transfers are possible at the moment?
