Topic: Mt. Gox - Postal address for SEPA deposits? (Read 457 times)
Just noticed that it seems that Mt. Gox changed their info on SCT deposits. They are still providing their Polish mailing address but they have stopped saying it was important.
Hello everybody,
I'd like to deposit funds to my Mt. Gox account via Sepa wire transfer. Mt. Gox says that I have to put their postal address in Poland into the wire transfer form. Unfortunately, my bank doesn't ask for the beneficiary's address when I send a SCT. They just ask for:
- Beneficiary's name
- Beneficiary's international bank account number
- Beneficiary's bank's SWIFT-BIC
- Payable amount
- Reference number
- Purpose of Payment
- Paying party's account number
There is no field for the beneficiary's address. Usually, I would just say "Ok, if my bank doesn't ask for that info, then they won't need it". As a matter of fact, I know that it is uncommon to ask for the beneficiary's postal address for a domestic or SEPA wire transfer; Here in Germany, banks are even explicitly telling people that the beneficiary's postal address does NOT belong on a wire transfer form.
However, Mt. Gox says that this is important and that my founds could bounce or get lost if I omit the postal address. But where should I put it? I'm using online banking, so I can't just put it anywhere and the "Beneficiary's name" field is limited to 69 characters. The address just doesn't fit in.
(I know that when you send an international wire transfer, you are often asked for the beneficiary's postal address. However, this is SEPA where wire transfers are supposed to be processed without putting any postal address anywhere.)
Does someone have an idea what's going on here? Mt. Gox says that this was important *for both Sepa and international* wire transfers, so I'm not sure what to do.
