Canadians, please help with Party cashout options

9cao · #1 02-20-2007, 05:56 PM

I was strictly a Neteller cheque guy. With the Neteller stuff I need a new cashout option. Having trouble finding all the info on 2+2.

I have both US and CAN bank accounts. I have heard that Party has great exchange rates. Is that for the EFTs and for bank wires?

How long does a bank wire take? Can I do one in both US and CAN for any amount? How is an EFT different?

Has anyone had any issues from their banks with getting money from gaming site through these options?

Thanks a lot. Any help is appreciated.

Party no longer gives good exchange rates. They now take about 1.5% off the true exchange rate on cashouts. However this is comparable with every other financial institution I know of.

You can read this thead for more info:

I've only used the Party EFT transfers in Canadian dollars into my bank account. First you need to verify your bank account, which is pretty easy and takes a couple of days (follow their instructions). Then an actual cashout takes about 3 business days to my bank account. It's pretty fast and painless.

Yeah someone posted about the great exchange rates, a week later O'Malley was spotted in the forum, and a week later the great exchange rates were gone.

OK, screw the exchange stuff as I will just put the money into my US account.

Have any Canadians been able to do EFT's to a US$ account?

ask for a cheque in US funds and get your bank to do the exchange

Party's cashout page no longer allows choice among currencies. If you're in Canada, your withdrawals are in CAD, and subject to their exchange rate. Whether that reflects a permanent policy change I cannot say.

It only gives me CAN for EFT but it also only gives me US for bank wire.
