zantac Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi Tilak Don’t worry too much mate at least they did return your transfer. Just to let you know this will be the norm when sending any payments to Warka as they are under administration……….all banks/Corporations do this Its not legally correct to take any form of payments/deposits in to an account. Also it’s the same for sending out transfers/payments of any kind until the insolvency issues are resolved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20MillionDinar Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Did you try and wire it to Citi Bank ? From what I understand Citi Bank no longer deals with Warka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caper Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Has anyone sent a wire through the Commerzbank in Germany in the last couple of weeks...I'm wondering how that's working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodlife Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 From what I understand Citi Bank no longer deals with Warka. Hmm thats what Im trying to establish. Can money be still routed through citi bank to warka. Citi bank is still listed as a correspondent bank on Wakas website, right at the top. Either they are or are not. It seems not so far. Would like an absolute on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodlife Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Then plunk down ur $20 and find out. Wouldn't be asking if there wasn't already a problem. Not a helpful reply. Some are saying they have sent money across ok and others are saying Citi bank cannot be used anymore. Is this a really recent occurrence and so the ones that sent there money across via citi bank did so before the change. Warka is incredibly slow at responding and I think the recent holiday has increased the back log. This is a big issue for the thousands of Warka investors who dont know there may be a significant issue in getting money across into their account. This is the point of the forum, to share information. The answer is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldiegirl Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I believe someone recently got an email from Warka to use Germany. I would suggest you try that instead of Citibank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caper Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 It's too bad Warka doesn't let us know when changing their procedures, however here is the info I've been able to uncover. hope it helps Intermediary Bank Bank Name: ............................................................ Commerzbank Account Name at Commerzbank: ....................... Warka Bank for Investment & Finance Corresponding Bank Name: ................................

crusher Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) CITI Bank will not deal with Warka any longer. It will not deal with a financial institution that is insolvent. The Commerzbank AG Frankfurt, Germany will deal with an insolvent financial institution as it is not in the USA and governed by different banking laws. If the subsequent financial institution they were working with went belly up so to speak, you would not be under the same banking protection as you would using a bank in the USA. So you take a chance anyway that it will not happen. Germany is part of Europe and look at the financial state of Europe at the moment, it does not look good. I hope it works out in the long run for everyone. But same as the dinar investment, it might all hit the fan, who knows, we only hope it doesn't.

DinarBot Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Why in the name of all Good Humans would you send additional money to a Bank under Guardianship with the CBI. Humans wil be lucky if they get existing money on deposit back. Edited April 8, 2012 by DinarBot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusher, thank you for your post on this subject of importance to many, including myself. All of my past wires to Warka have been through CitiBank. Are you saying that if Warka goes belly up those of us who sent funds to Warka through CitiBank might look to CitiBank to make up whole under US law? I hope this is the case.

Are you saying that if Warka goes belly up those of us who sent funds to Warka through CitiBank might look to CitiBank to make up whole under US law? I hope this is the case. I think the law pertains to US banks dealing with insolvent banks. I don't think that we (US citizens) would be able to file any claims against Warka if we don't see our money back... The funds are not FDIC insured, that was the risk we took when opening up accounts with Warka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am still hopeful that things will work out for all. If you read 20milliondinar's post under your one, hes hit the nail on the head. Yes, I read 20milliondinnar's post and agree with what was said. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
