Although I'm one of the first to jump on MA when they screw up, I am also more than willing to acknowledge the times when they do a good job.
A couple months ago, I started a thread asking for people's recent experience making withdralws from EU. Now that I've tried it out, I thought I'd share my experiences.
Over the past month or so, I've made 3 withdrawls for around $500 each time.
Each of them have gone from "pending" to "comitted" within 2 weeks, and the money was in my account 3 days later.
The only real problem I had was that, much like every credit union and smaller bank in the US, my CU uses an intermediary bank for overseas wire transfers. MA cannot process payments through an intermediary, so I actually had to open an account at a large national bank in order to get it to work.
All in all, I was really quite pleased, even though there appears to be a fair amount of "evaporation" as the money travels from PED card to checking account.
