Please move this thread to the exchanges subforum(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=223.0), this section is for currency exchanges only(like actual trades). You can do so by clicking the move topic button at the bottom left corner of the page.

Does anyone know of an exchange that will approve a new account in a timely manner? I've been waiting over three weeks for poloniex and bittrex to approve my documentation. I realize demand is huge and I'm as patient as an old trader can be, but I'd like to move faster.

I have a coinbase account that's linked to a credit card for instant purchase and that service no longer works. The bank account link does, but the delay is over a week. We all know customer support is nonexistent, so I have to find an alternative.

Thanks one and all. I'm glad to have found this forum.



My advice to you, do not use any of the actual exchanges. If you do there is a high likelihood that something will go wrong. You could try circle, although their verification time is quite average. I suggest you just use Localbitcoins, the rates aren't that bad compared to the exchanges anyways, you have multiple payment options(cash deposit, bank transfer etc.), you're protected by their escrow, you don't pay any fees on your end, and most importantly, you do not need any verification. Sign up is easy as hell, less than 1 minute and you're ready to go.

Yes, I'm in the USA and my state is not banned. I'm well aware of FATCA and the problems US citizens face doing business outside the country.
I'm looking for an exchange that has procedures and staff in place to process new accounts in less  than the three weeks I've been waiting for poloniex and bittrex.

Again, thanks one and all for any suggestions.
