    Hello Nicholas,

    Thank you for your email.

    Wire cashouts should take no longer than 5 working days before the funds
    appear in your <span id="lw_1246449551_0">bank account</span>. <span id="lw_1246449551_1">Wire transfer</span> cashouts to your US bank account
    are available via the <span id="lw_1246449551_2">pokerstars</span> <span id="lw_1246449551_3">Cashier</span> for a minimum of $1,000.

    PokerStars covers all fees charged by the sending bank, but you may be
    charged a fee by your bank and by an intermediary bank (if applicable)
    for receiving a wire transfer. For more information on your bank's
    policy concerning fees for receiving <span id="lw_1246449551_4">wire transfers</span>, please contact
    your bank directly.

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate in contacting us.

    Regards,

    Chris B
    PokerStars Cashier Specialist

    the thing that i dont understand is when i read the cash out policy it list all the countries that bank wire is available 2. but the united states is not on that list. is that the case or is the cash out policy on the web site wrong?

    It works, and your bank doesn't need a SWIFT code either. If your bank doesn't have a SWIFT code, just put N/A in that space. Mine took about 8 business days.

    ^important info

    My credit union didn't have a swift code and I was talking to customer service for like 5 minutes.. "IT'S CALLED SWIFT OR BIC, I REALLY NEED THAT CODE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT CHECK SOMEWHERE ELSE, CAN I SPEAK WITH YOUR SUPERVISOR?"

    I have a credit union as well (), who doesn't have a SWIFT code. Again, you do not need one. See email I received from PS below -

    Hello Lance,

    Thank you for your email.

    Some banks in the USA do not have SWIFT codes.

    If your bank is one of them, please enter your bank's ABA number in the ABA#
    field and NA in the SWIFT code field while cashing out.

    ABA numbers are 9 digits long. Your bank should be able to advise you of
    this number.

    Please note that you should only enter the final destination banking
    details, and not mention any intermediary banking details as we have the
    facility to wire funds direct to your bank's SWIFT code, or ABA number. We
    are unable to wire funds via an intermediary bank in the USA, and it is
    therefore very important that no intermediary banking details are entered.

    Once you have filled out all your banking details, you will be brought back
    to the Cashout screen that displays all the available options to you
    including the newly stored wire cashout transfer option with the last 4
    digits of your <span id="lw_1246653611_0">bank account number</span>.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know.

    Regards,
