I forgot to mention this, but yesterday night I decided to withdraw some $$$ from FTP account into my Moneybookers account. And I was very surprised, when immediately got a snap message that the funds just arrived into my MB account. That was curious a bit, as usually withdrawal order is pending 2-3 days and then, after approval, they make requested transfer.
Obviously, I was very pleased from this immediate transfer and I guess that would be really great improvement on FTP Cashier. But did they really improve their payment system... or it was just one curious chance...

You are right, the massively improved the support system and the cashier, the payments are indeed made a lot more faster than before. I usually withdraw with my visa card and in two working days the money are in my bank account. I also made a 10 dollars deposit with my moneybooker account to activate this withdraw option but there is a 1.8 euro tax when you want to withdraw funds from your moneybookers account to your personal bank account, even if you have the mastercard moneybookers account you still need to pay this tax. Is this withdrawal tax available in your contry too?

Yes, there is 1.8 EUR the same turn to MB, when you want to withdraw money.
But I'm still curious, because when I requested similar withdrawal from FTP into my MB account a few weeks ago, then I have had to wait 2 days until my withdrawal request has been approved. In turn of this curious one from yesterday night - only just I requested withdrawal on FTP Cashier, almost at the same moment, I received instant message from MB that the funds have just arrived...

Understand, that must be due to this update. Anyway, great improvement... FTP keep it on...

hmm sounds nice. Normally you need around one week to get the money to moneybookers and after that to your bank account. that would make it much faster

I haven't made any withdrawels as of yet, but have set up a moneybookers account thanks to advice from some of the Mobsters. This is another good piece of information to be aware of if and when I decide to do so. Thanks for sharing the information! Good Luck to All!

Actually, if I'd like to transfer the money from MB to my bank account, it would take obviously another 2-3 days. But it's not necessary, because I can withdraw the money directly from MB with my MB MasterCard in any ATM machine.
So that, taking into consideration this recent immediate withdrawal from FTP to MB, I can get cash in my hand within 1 minute after requested withdrawal, as I have closest cashpoint on the same street 100 m from my home lol...
But I'd need to make another withdrawal in order to check out this option and to make sure...

I also deposited once with Moneybookers and also withdraw money with moneybookers but i hate the 1.80 euro tax. You simply need to pay it everytime you withdraw money. I understand that even if you get their moneybookers mastercard you also need to pay this fix tax. Is that true? What i know for sure that for having that card you need to pay an extra 10 euro fee per year, which is not too much for the advantages you get. Now i'm using my visa card to deposit/withdraw, aftter the payment is aproved, plus i don't need to pay other taxes when i withdraw. Do you have the mastercard from moneybookers?

Neteller is also a great way to deposit/withdraw funds, i personally don't have a Neteller account but other members of my family do and it works perfectly with all poker platforms and bet sites. What i don't know is if they take any taxes when withdrawing funds from you neteller account to your personal bank account... Just as an update yesterday i applied myself for the moneybookers mastercard, since the transfer to your moneybookers account is instant, i think the 1.8 euro tax is not too much considering you can cash out from every atm machine. When i should expect to get it?

Well... I'd always suggest to withdraw your funds from poker-rooms into Moneybookers / Neteller instead of your domestic bank account... you know, due to some well-known reasons...
@Macubaas - if you applied for MB MasterCard and your request is already approved and charged, then the MasterCard should be with you within 14 days. You will be charged 1.8 EUR each time when you withdraw cash from any ATM machine, using this Card, as well as the same when you want to transfer money from MB into your bank account.

Also for that well known reason i would prefer to make future funds withdraw with Moneybookers. Too bad you can't avoid the 1.80 euro tax but well they need to make a profit, right? Since you own their mastercard i have one more question, i understand the tax for having this card is 10 euros per year. When do you have the pay this tax, for the first year? So far they didn't charged me anything, is this right? And one more thing, there is a maximum money amount you can withdraw per day or it's unlimited? Please respond, i'm really interested.

When you apply for the MB MasterCard and your request is approved, they must charge you 10 EUR instantly (annual charge), before they issue the Card for you. So that you need to have some funds on your MB account, which enable them to charge your account for the Card issue.
There are some various limits for pay or withdrawal with your MB MasterCard, but it's individual and you can simply check it out within your own account. For example, my daily limit for cashpoint withdrawals is 250 EUR / 1 day. However, you can also request to increase your lmits, if you really need to.

Just applied for the card, looks like a great deal. Also, the withdrawals ar eimmdeiate now from MB, like you said.
The downside.....
Because of the FBI thing, no way to withdraw anything anymore right now. Looks like everything is frozen. Damn!

well,all along when i made cashout via moneybookers it is always almost immediate as well, I guess it all depends on them to make it slow or fast.
