I am having a terrible time trying to withdrawal GBP from Intersango atm, I requested on sunday last, now tuesday, whereas it should take under 2 hours via internet banking 'faster transfer' in the UK & they bank with lloyds as I do - how hard can that be, plus all I'm getting from them is auto replies & the site says withdrawal being processed which it has been for over a day, will update on any progress

I am in the same boat. I have two outstanding withdrawals since the weekend, both are still pending which I presume means, yet to be processed.
Anytime now, Intersango would be nice!
In the UK, I couldn't find anything even close to Intersango in terms of fees, ease of use etc.
Importantly, Intersango is run by some smart people who clearly believe in and are interested in promoting Bitcoin just as much if not more than they are in making a profit. What could be more reassuring?

http://maxkeiser.com/tag/amir-taaki/I am still waiting for my withdrawal to be processed since last sunday, now 3 days instead of the under 2 hours it should actually take, I asked yesterday that they just visit their bank or an ATM & physically take my money out of their account & pay it in to mine at the same bank, Lloyds, but of course this hasn't happened & they haven't replied as I insisted they do - pathetic really
