Just a heads up...just heard back from FTP, and the rather large bank that I use REJECTED the wire as a gaming transaction. Got the money back into my account, buuuuuttttt that's not good!

That's really bad, what bank is this?

Req 2-11
App 2-12
Rec 2-15

Withdrew the max $8000 with ZERO fees.

Things seem to be running smooth...

rec/approv on 2/13.. rec today.. 38 in intermediate bank fees, and 12 from my bank.. life goes on though

req- 2/16
app 2/16
rec ?

Req - 2/9
App - 2/9
Rec - ...

I'm hoping it shows up tomorrow 2/16, which makes 5 business days. Getting a little worried since others have gotten theirs faster and it didn't take this long before. It wouldn't be so bad had this deposit not included a previous check withdrawal attempt in the recent fiasco where everyone was having problems.

Will update when received.

Update...

The reason I wanted to repost was because I've done the premium bank wires in the past, and have usually gotten it in no more than 2 days. Not to mention they also haven't taken out the handful of $10-15 deposits since early November. I'm wondering if it's all tied into something to do with my bank, or if it's something on their end with the payment processors. Either way, will keep you posted...

Scary stuff. I didn't think that would happen. I guess it is time to open a foreign bank account. I was just going to set up a wire and the minimum is $2500.

requested / approved 2/15 received today 2/17 - 37 in fees

REQ 2-8
Approved 2-8
received 2-17

This is my second one and it seems to take longer to hit my account than most other people but at least it works!

Also both times only $15 in fees plus the annoying rakeback hit.

Will echo other posters in my concerns about recent bank xfers. Within last month or so have done 3 or 4 bank transfers all of which have come almost instantly, within a day or two of request. However, I requested a new one about 4 or 5 days ago now and still nothing.

Any thoughts as to what's going on??

are you referring to bank xfers? or bank wires? There are two threads. The bank wires will take 1-5 days usually in most cases. sometimes longer. Bank xfers, take almost up to 15 business days, and if not they are currently putting those bank xfers to bank wires and giving you a $50 credit for the fees.

i had a wire rejected by the large, patriotic bank i was using last month. opened up an account with a new bank. first wire came through no issue. initiated a 2nd last friday, was approved sunday, no money today so am past the 3-5 b day window they give. we shall see what happens. i am not optimistic.

Been waiting on a wire for 15 business days through that large "patriotic bank" and am beginning to think it has been rejected. FT keeps telling me to wait and check back in so many business days. How do you know if the bank is rejecting it? FT support tell you?

yea they made me "double check" my bank statement. i was lol promise i didnt miss 5k coming into my bank account. wish i had enough $ for that to be the case but it's not.

then after providing the bank statement they had to consult the 3rd party payment processor and they would get back to me within a week. then confirmed it had been rejected by said bank due to incorrect bank details (lol, its same bank account ive used on every wire for past 3 years) and deposited it back into my account.

It's been eight business days for mine, and it's not processing or anything in my account. I just wrote FTP demanding an answer. This has gotten ridiculous. I also bank with the very large patriotic bank.

has anyone had a problem doing a large wire to wellsfargo?

I do not use the large patriotic bank, so that's nuts that 2 of the biggest banks are even blocking wires now. Ruh roh

Ok, glad I found this thread. I responded in other threads about my recent bank wires, but I see others are having the same issues.

I have never had any issues with my wire transfers, as they usually take 2-3 days. However, twice in the past 2 months, weeks have gone by with my wire transfers and no funds were deposited into my bank account. Like some have said previously, I sent in statements , and FTP assured me my funds were safe and that, after speaking with their 3rd party processor, my money would either be put into my bank account, or returned to my FTP account. Well, they were returned to my FTP account, so now I have to withdraw again. This time I chose the straight bank transfer, not the wire. Has anyone had experience with the transfer option recently? Are there delays with this method and what kind of "realistic" time frame can I expect?

Wouldn't it be nice if FTP made a list of all banks they have issues/major issue with doing bankwires to?

I can't believe some people have had to wait around for 2-4 weeks with no answer just hoping their number pops up into their bank account.

Granted, it is what it is when playing online poker in america.

There is another thread in here for bank transfers where you can get some info. In short though, it's way less likely for a bank transfer to work than it is for a wire. gl though I hope you get your money.

I have two wires I'm waiting on and I've never ever had a problem with wires, but I'm starting to get a little worried since more and more people are popping up with problems that never had them before.
