Ok question for the snowbirds. I know you're here. Is Quadrigacx above board? I have no reason to doubt they are, but I've never trusted them before with large amounts.
Above board yes but they have issues lately.
Cash Delivery takes about a week, 3 - 4 days before they send it and they will give you a tracking number that won't even ship for another two days. Like they think you'll be fooled by getting a tracking number.
Don't bother paying the extra fee for express bank transfer, it takes the same time as regular - 8 - 10 business days.
If you have an offshore account find another exchange (my current challenge) They will not send transfers to banks that use an intermediary.
Withdraw to visa is gone
Interac transfer is gone
Fees are high
