Yeah sounds like Canada isn't the optimal destination these days, but I can drive there so it felt like my best option at present :\ I changed my address with Carbon to my place in Canada, and the bank wire option now shows up on my withdrawal page, but it's greyed out since I haven't submitted the verification documents. Do you think that means I'll definitely have bank wires available once I submit my documents, or is it possible I could still be limited to only checks?

Also, are checks mailed out any faster in Canada? Often the checks are drawn on Canadian banks, but I don't know if that would necessarily decrease the "processing" time..

That doesn't necessarily mean you'll have it.

Nope.If you have an account with the bank that the check is drawn on you could take it there and be assured it wouldn't go out for collections. Other than that, meh, not much good.

Req 6/25
Still pending

Not impressed.

i cashed out my roll this week and the big surprise was to pay 160$ fees via skrill what a joke really when u know e-wallet payments are almost free of fees. this network is the biggest joke ever. Bye and gl to people who still playing there.........

when they say that the first check request per month is free, what does "month" mean?
- calendar month (if I ask for a check on June 30, I get another free check on July 1)
- 30 (or 31) days
- same day of the following month (if I ask for a check on Feb 4, I get another free check on March 4, even though it may be less than 30 days).

^ calander month, but make sure you follow Mountain Time, after daylight savings it goes to Central time

Yup so you could theoretically withdrawal on July 30th and then again on August 2nd for no charge

^except you can only have one pending w/draw at a time

Haha, Req 6/27 here, still pending. Kinda odd to see a 6/30 Req processed already, but I think it bodes well for us being processed soon-ish.

6/30 PO Pending

Requested Check: 05/30/2014

My checks have been clearing within 24 hours at a large well known bank. Usually deposit through ATM unless the check cannot be read. There are three branches within a 10 mile radius of my house and only one of the branches doesn't give me any grief about sending foreign checks to collections.

Anyone have luck with netspend cards on merge? Mine gets declined and I don't really wanna go out and buy another card if it's going to get declined as well. Any ideas? Are there any free cards that work on merge?

I moved to Canada last month. They gave me bankwire but i had to bankwire to my USA bank that i still had opened. Most of the Canadian banks are not on the list of banks they can wire to. Also when i recieved my wire it took about 2 weeks. It was missing about 120$.... they said it's because of conversion rate from the UK where the bank wire came from. So they credited my account and sent me a check to my Canadian address and finally i deposited into my account and it cleared fine. So it might be easier if you just tell them to send a check to your Canadian address.

Best way to deposit is open a Western Union account online and link your credit/debit card then send funds to the name Merge gives. They also reimburse your fees.

So do I need to make a cash at agent location transfer? Or can it be done all online?

Figured it out. Thx!

ive been making 1k western union withdrawls(not available to all users i think i have a 2yr old account and withdrawal history) but after several of them it's looking sketchy and a hassle and 40$ each week to go down to wu and pick them up and worried ill get table restricted for making so many withdrawals lol 2-3 weeks for a check is kinda a long wait... I have wire transfer unlocked(also not available to all i believe...) but my credit union does not have a swift/iban code for international wires, do you think its fine to open a fresh brand name bank account and then make a 5k international wire on it w.o it looking way too sketchy? lol or should i just stick to wu withdrawls...

Received max check today processed on the July, 23rd.
Requested another max check on 7/7.

Is it better to go to a bigger chain bank wise? My bank always puts a 7 business day hold on the item, its not the end of the world by any means, but say if you went to a big chain would you have to wait that long?

Start the account with a lot of money in a big bank like WF/BoA.

Well, better late than never, but with my bank (a credit union), I have to go through a foreign check collection process to cash checks outside of the US. It took a good while, but the funds finally did reappear and should stay there:

Requested Check: 05/08/2014
Processed Check: 05/28/2014
Received Check: 05/30/2014
Cashed Check: 05/30/2014
Filled out Collection Form: 06/02/2014
Funds cleared to my account: 07/12/2014

It took 65 days or 2 months and 4 days from soup to nuts to get my money, but I suppose all's well that ends well. Of that 65 days, Carbon was responsible for 22 days and my bank was responsible for 43. My wife forgot to sign the check and I didn't know about needing to fill that form out so next time I can probably save 3 to 5 days.

Can anyone comment on the number of days it took for you to receive a check to a PO Box, not a permanent address?

Took 21 days for me, I'm in Nebraska fwiw.

requested 7/3
processed 7/15

I am so happy!
