Hello. So yesterday night I decided to transfer some money to my Bitstamp account. So I made a EU bank transfer through my bank, and this morning when I checked my bank page it said that 65 Euro had been transfered to Bitstamps Bank.

However when I log into Bitstamp I have no money added!!! Are they trying to scam me or is it normal that its a delay like this :s?



The money might not appear in their account until Monday. Then it might take a day or two before they credit your account with the funds. Basically the wire itself is instantaneous, but after that there is a bunch of bureaucratic human crap that can take a while. So you have some waiting to do before suspecting a scam I think. 

When banks get involved, shit that should only take a moment takes days!
