I am planning on withdrawing some ped out of my account… To anyone who has done this and if you did how long did it take for it to be in your irl bank account. Is there another transactions fee? And what else should i know?

It depends alot in wich country you live too 
If you live in the EU the bank transfer will be pretty quick, but if you live outside the EU it can take a while

MA say “upto 90 business days”, there is a VERY long topic on EP somewhere where most people involved haven’t seen their money 6 months later.
funny takes 30 se3conds to get your money and 30 years to get it back
I think Einstein is correct… at least from friends I have in game, it appears that withdrawing from certain countries is expedited more easily and quicker than others.
For the record, I have never withdrawn cash from game so I only speak from what my friends tell me… one waited 8 months once, but more recently I hear most ppl getting their money within a month or so
Well that kinda makes sense no?
If you’d be able to take the money out at the same speed you put it in, i bet you’d see alot more scammers around.
Before they actually send you the peds you withdrawed they have to investigate if you didn’t scam anyone or used exploits, so that can take some time.
The transfer of the money is done by wire transfer wich means one of the factors that makes it slow are the banks.
I did a EU transfer a little while ago and i took 4 days for the money to arrive
For non EU transfers this time will probably increase.
Some people will also forget to give their IBAN and SWIFT/BIC codes, or give wrong ones, so that costs extra time and money too.
Yeah it all seems to depend on how advanced the countries banking system seems to be. Think the UK is quite quick. Although I know some people from the US had problems becauses the banks over there, especially the local branches had no idea what an IBAN or SWIFT number was.

A friend of mine withdrew alot of PED in December after selling all his stuff and skills. He still havent got them he told me yesterday. He lives in Sweden.
Edit: Damn typos
K..
Lets see..
I dont know if I should call my self an “expert” on the subject.. but I DID call the Financial manager my self and he explained the withdraw process to me and sent me their documents about how its done..
Deposit:
They charge the money from your creditcard. Dosent take longer that it dose when you are buying a burger at burgerking…
Withdraw:
They send the money to your bank account. This is why it takes longer to actually get the money.
But before they even send the money, they have to check ya background.
If you withdraw 90000000 PED and havent deposited a single PED I would assume they were to check their logs very carefull.
Then.. When they are satisfied you havent scammed your way to the money.. they use the info you have proived them with, to ship the money.
And as it has been pointed out you need some pretty specific account info before they are able to send you the money.
I doubt we all know out bic code, IBAN number, SWIFT code and so on..
You have to get all of that 100% correctly.. otherwise MA cant send the money.
If you dont.. they will send it to the info you have provided.. This takes 5-10 buisness days (After they have looged at the logs)
If you have provided them with errorumus information they have to investigate into what the right numbers are.. no one knows how long that takes to do..
So if you do everything correctly and they look through the logs ral quick.. the money will be there in about 10 days.
As some of you might know, I know some ppl from MindArk IRL.
When I withdrew some of my money they shipped the money the day after I withdrew them.. and it took me 12 days to get them..
So.. if they have to look though a lot of logs and you have provided them with false information.. and 10.000 other ppl are withdrawing… wel.. you see where im going… the 90 days withdraw is prehaps not such a bad estimate after all…

BIC and IBAN codes are normally written on your bank statements (at least in Belgium).
If not you can always look for them on the bank website or ask at the bank

Maybe the problem then is cause he never did deposit. He used axes instead
personally i think its sad to withdraw money from the game(unless ur quitting or live in a third world country and u need food for ur family)
I heared this dude here say he knew people who withdrawl money on a monthly bases.(starfinder i think it was)…omfg…(they should be stabbed in the eye with a kitchenknife…aw too violent.. :rolleyes: ?..)
I mean common you play for fun if u need money get a job like the rest of us…these guys are only inflating PE economy..very sad.. ,and actually in a way all scr..ing us players.. :wise:
I for one would be extremely happy to break even or have a little loss… :wise:
Ofcourse there some cases when even me would consider redrawing..like when i got 1000000 peds or sumtin..
But hee…its a free world..sad/greedy peeps are everywhere..
Peez..
Ciao a tutti..

Paypal is amazing tool for selling of peds…
Wow :eek: Just had a friend who began game a couple of years ago like us and then quit a year and a half ago. He deposited a very meager amount (probably under $100) but made a small fortune… he has just NOW received his money from MA after 13 months! :eek:
As Starfinder pointed out, however, MA has to do a full investigation of a person who is withdrawing a substantial amount more than they had deposited.. but 13 months! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I think it just does not become a priority for MA and they put those ones on the back-burner so to speak

I dont drink…
And i know where the humor section is… :wise:
So i guess i was serious…?
Peez..
Another thing..imagine 3/4 of us would withdraw peds even with the slightest profit…
Then i would be sure there isnt gonna be an PE in the nearby future or loots become so incredibly poor the majority leaves…
Game on…

MA implemented the ability to withdraw ped into rl cash in order to attract players to the game :wise: Therefore, while you see withdrawing as a glass half-empty sort of thing, I view withdrawing as one of the backbones of the game and thus a glass half-full
