how long is account verification taking?
Ignore the other response, by Kumpel... So much bullshit and FUD in here.
Account *verification* once all documents are submitted takes less than a week usually.
And about the additional AML/KYC questions: it seems you get a set of additional questions when you make large withdrawals or deposits. A number of users already said that, once you answer them, transfers go out quick (within a few days at most). If, on the other hand, you signed up on the exchange with a fake name, well... then it might take a bit longer

Excuse me, why should my response be ignored? I signed up and got verified (photo ID, bank acc in my name) with my real name. I am waiting now more, not less, than a week for some obscure in-transparent KYC crap. To me it looks like bitstamp doesn't want to pay, nothing else. This stands until I see my money in my account.
Well, I admit I didn't take your case entirely serious because so far I can't even tell if (and how) you submitted answers to the additional KYC questions. On the previous page I got the impression you were making a point about how annoyed you are by those questions, considering that you already submitted your passport etc., so I'm not sure if you say you answered them.
So I'll try to be fair: You have a verified account, you wanted to withdraw some money, you got the additional questionnaire,
you answered that questionnaire, and you're still not getting any response. Is that correct?
