NOTICE for Verification:
If your verification at Tier1-2 has failed to complete within 30 minutes, or Tier3 within 2 business days, please submit a ticket to support.

NOTICE for Trading:
While the market is new and relatively illiquid, please be careful when placing Market orders--you may end up with a much different outcome than anticipated.  To be safe, place Limit orders only.

UPDATE 14/Sep/2013 01:01 PDT:
If you're in a jurisdiction where we can only offer digital currency<->digital currency trading and you're verified at Tier 1 but pre-verified beyond Tier 1, your deposit/withdrawal limits for DC are now upgraded to your pre-verified tier limits.  For example, if you're verified for Tier 1 and pre-verified for Tier 2, you'll still only be able to trade DC but your deposit/withdrawal limits will be at the higher Tier 2 limits.

UPDATE 20/Feb/2014 02:24 PST:
USD Deposits Temporarily Disabled

Unfortunately, we've reached the limit of our US bank's capacity to deal with the volume on our account. Many USD withdrawals have been delayed beyond a limit we can accept, and it reflects poorly on our service. Rather than continue to disappoint, we've decided to suspend USD deposits until a more robust banking partner is acquired. In the meantime, USD withdrawals and trading will continue to be available, though we strongly encourage USD traders to shift to our EUR pairs. Most major banks will allow you to send EUR even if your account only holds USD.

All pending USD withdrawals not already in transit will be canceled within 24 hours and users will have the funds available again.

In order to lighten the burden on USD withdrawals and speed up the process, we're offering a 2% bonus for users willing to convert their USD balances to EUR balances. You may then trade EUR or withdraw EUR. EUR withdrawals are generally processed within 1 business day. If your bank only supports USD, withdrawing EUR to it will likely result in a < 1% conversion fee. Please contact us for details.

If you still wish to receive your USD withdrawal, please resubmit it.

Personally, I want to apologize for the long delays some of you have experienced with your USD withdrawals. I know how important it is to have your money when you need it and we've failed to provide timely service. I have been pleased with our banking partner for EUR, and the level of service we've been able to provide there. I appreciate your patience while we navigate the treacherous waters of the legacy banking system. The weather is nice in San Francisco but I'm glad you're not picketing outside our office
