FTP Premium Bank Wires are taking FOR-EV-ER, Just an FYI

There was a thread about this recently but I can't find it. Usually get these in my account 48 hours after I request one. Well last Sunday I requested one and it didn't even get approved until Friday, and still is not in my account today. Fucking hella weak sauce.

I hope its figured out. I just wired out small car like 5 hours ago and approved instantly.

Last week requested a wire on early Thursday, wasnt approved until monday morning (about 96 hours), but was in my bank that night.
I think part of it was there was also a shut down of their bank xfer option (the ach option). They had returned xfer's to many players accounts due to that payment processor going DD and they re-sent using the premium wire. Prob accounted for the delay.


Hello Brandon

After review of your account, I can confirm that your withdrawal for xxxxx is currently processing.

We're sorry your withdrawal request hasn't been processed yet. We're experiencing slightly longer processing times due to a high volume of transaction requests.

Pokerstars doesn't even offer me the bank wire option anymore, just paper checks.

Which is fine because the paper checks have been coming in less than a week anyways.

I still haven't had any issues using the premium wire, maybe just a short glitch? How often are you requesting them and at what rate do they take this long ship?

Why can't FTP do this, either? I, at this point, trust the paper checks over any other form of payment when it comes to the timing of when you actually get your money, even though bank wire SEEMS to be more convenient, especially for bigger withdrawals.

The fact that this is still an issue in 2009 is why I love America. At least the irony and hypocrisy our government creates towards certain issue is good comedy.

Made a withdrawal from FT using premium wire 2 weeks ago.

Took 8 days from request to arrival.

It's been 9 days total and this is the 7th business day. Hoping it will be here by tomarrow.
