OP:

"I received the news first-hand at my local branch when trying to make a SEPA transfer to BITSTAMP's Uni Credit account in Slovenia.



I couldn't make a transfer either yesterday night or this morning, got some weird over-limit error ("daily/weekly limit or 2500/5000 EUR reached..." blah blah), went to the local branch to have them try (they can usually override) and got the same result. I asked the clerk to run a check on my accounts to be sure I wasn't the one with the issue (all OK there) so she called some service or other and got the "flagged for possible fraudulent activities" news (they knew about it already since yesterday,I wasn't the first calling in for this).



(I opened a TT with BITSTAMP and they said they'll investigate with their bank.)



Anyone else reporting SEPA transfer issues to BITSTAMP?" Updated 2014-10-14Intesa Sanpaolo (IT), Chase (USA)Post from mmitech regarding Bitstamp's AML/KYC questionnaires (2 kinds) when you trigger an AML alarm:

With more value transferred to and out of Bitstamp (They are no. 2 exchange now), more and more problems will come. No, OP says that there is a problem with sending money TO Bitstamp.With more value transferred to and out of Bitstamp (They are no. 2 exchange now), more and more problems will come.

So basically what you are telling, it would not be possible to withdraw money?

Maybe I should do a test?





edit: 2 days ago I've send 500 EUR to my bitstamp account and yesterday it arrived. So this must be a very recent problem...

For your USD issue, buy BTC



I made some transfers few days ago and the money arrived at BITSTAMP two days ago, but after yesterday night I couldn't send anything anymore. That's from BNP. Care to try, say, a 1 EUR deposit from your bank?

BTC = Antifragile - "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Robust is not the opposite of fragile.

More info about "ING" (A bank):

Please post here the name of your Bank.

Hey, here in Spain ING is doing the same thing, blocking SEPAs to BITSTAMP.More info about "ING" (A bank):Also, ING is a Holland bank that also operates in Spain.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. incidentally this was the same bank (ing-diba) that had intersango account flagged in 2011.

Los desesperados publican que lo inventó el rey que rabió, porque todo son en el rabias y mas rabias, disgustos y mas disgustos, pezares y mas pezares; si el que compra algunas partidas vé que baxan, rabia de haver comprado; si suben, rabia de que no compró mas; si compra, suben, vende, gana y buelan aun á mas alto precio del que ha vendido; rabia de que vendió por menor precio: si no compra ni vende y ván subiendo, rabia de que haviendo tenido impulsos de comprar, no llegó á lograr los impulsos; si van baxando, rabia de que, haviendo tenido amagos de vender, no se resolvió á gozar los amagos; si le dan algun consejo y acierta, rabia de que no se lo dieron antes; si yerra, rabia de que se lo dieron; con que todo son inquietudes, todo arrepentimientos, tododelirios, luchando siempre lo insufrible con lo feliz, lo indomito con lo tranquilo y lo rabioso con lo deleytable.
