My NETeller EFTs are completing at the same pace as normal - approximately 3 business days. Most recent one was requested Jan 19 and received Jan 23.
My NT account is in US$, and linked to a bank account in Canada that is in Canadian dollars. NETeller steadfastly has always refused to allow me to link it to a bank account in Canada that is held in US$. As a result, I have had to eat a lot of currency exchange fees (about 2% on each transaction). Currently, NETeller exchanges at a rate of between 1.15 and 1.16 for US to Cdn dollars (I think the last one I did was 1.1586).
They send the funds to the bank in Canadian dollars, so the bank doesn't charge anything. I have always found the cheque service to be very slow and stopped doing anything but EFTs years ago.
