in your summary for MB you mentioned this:

your bank must have its OWN SWIFT code. If your Bank/Credit Union uses a "correspondent bank", this will NOT work.

[/ QUOTE ]
can you elaborate a bit? my main bank is PC Financial, and they are a sub-bank of CIBC. i emailed PC and they told me the SWIFT code, which was the same as CIBC.

[/ QUOTE ]

Has anyone managed to do a wire transfer withdrawal to PC Financial using Moneybookers? I just want to know if it's possible or not.

i tried to bank transfer $100. it was declined due to "invalid bank details." the $100 was put back in my MB account and they pocketed the $2 service charge. bastards!

their message centre has a thing about declined withdrawals, so i put that in there today. it's been about 6 hours and no reply yet. i'll keep you guys updated.

i may have to end up opening up a "real" bank account. damn you NETELLER!!!

Exact same thing happened to me. Used the CIBC swift code and my account number and received an e-mail telling me the withdrawal was cancelled because of incorrect details but they've kept their $2.40 U.S. fee for doing nothing.

When I said the CIBC swift code, I was referring to my PC Financial account, like yours. Not an actual CIBC account. Just to clear things up.

We're actually in the process of adding Moneybookers. I'm not sure exactly when it'll be up and running, but hopefully before the end of the month.

Quick question to you guys, you guys seem to know this stuff pretty good. I seem to know next to nothing.

Im trying to cash out 1000$ on stars, but I thought neteller was closed to canadians. But when I try to cashout from stars it only gives me the option to cashout to neteller?

So neteller works for cashing out? But we cant use it to deposit?

NO Neteller...it won't work.

Usually sites require you to have deposited with a method before you can cashout to it. I haven't cashed out from Stars recently, i imagine you'll have to email them to find out what your options are.

I recently set up an account on MB. After setting up my banking details, I tried a test withdrawal of $100. From what I could gather from their site, the charge for a bank transfer was a flat fee of $2.40. The money showed up in my bank account after 3 working days, but the amount was $85 instead of the $100 !!! Now I am totally confused as to how much they charge for bank transfers. Is it a flat rate, or a % of the withdrawal amount?? If anyone knows, please post, since its impossible to get in touch with MB.

Was it a wire transfer? It may be your bank that is tagging on the extra fees. What bank?

MB takes a flat fee of $2.40. Your bank is charging you $15 to receive an incoming international wire.

I know that Royal Bank charges $15 for receiving incoming international bank wires. Royal Bank charges at least $35 for sending wires. Yes, I miss Neteller.
