I withdrew all my cash using "Fast Bank Transfer," but instead of a $10 fee, I lost >
$32. So don't use this method for small amounts.
I am still getting the following error message after contacting customer care.
"ERROR: Account Currency updates failed due to technical problems in the system, please contact the customer care."

1) Pick the cheapest method to withdraw all your cash. In my case, it was the "Fast Bank Transfer" with U$10 fee to transfer everything to my U$ account. After leaving 5 or 4 figures in my cash balance for years, it feels strangely good to have a balance of "$0.00" with Party for the first time ever.
2) Try to change your account currency from U$ to your local currency. Despite numerous contacts with Support, their system is still unable to do this.
3) Play elsewhere but if it ever makes sense to pay rake to Party at some distant future, then deposit (and withdraw) in your local currency. In my case, it will be electronic transfer, which is free for C$ for now but we will not get proper notification from Party when it increases the fees again.
It no longer makes sense to deposit U$ to Party with the higher currency charge than PokerStars & other sites, then even if you manage to overcome player segregation, etc. to make a withdrawal, you will be hit again with the conversion or other fees.
