Hey Halifax thanks for the reply....
I am curious had you heard anything good about them before you sent or did u just take a chance on them b/c I can't seem to find any ratings for them(I'll admit I haven't checked that much yet though).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
They've got a fairly big client base in Scandinavia (hence the name) and the rest of Europe, and I saw a fair amount of stuff about them on the European forums (mostly good, but a few somewhat minor complaints).
-------------------
I remember now why I took all my money out ($4K) when I did:
My limits were not that high (maybe $500 max), so there was no point in keeping that much money in the account.
I originally requested only a $2,500 deposit (by bank wire). Their website stated that all payments were made by bank wire, and that no funds would be credited back to a Visa card (which was how I made my original deposit 6 months earlier). This was fine with me, as I would have been charged about $30 US in foreign exchange fees if I had funds credited back to the Visa card.
Well, they went against their rules, and insisted that $1,500 be credited back to the Visa card (even though the deposit was made 6 months earlier, and there was no possibility of me making a chargeback on that deposit since too much time had passed), so I had to pay foreign exchange fees.
Not a big complaint in the overall scheme of things, but enough to personally piss me off enough to take the rest of my money out, mainly because I thought if they could go against their written rules in this situation, they might do so in a more important situation in the future.
