I personally have transferred to my bank account numerous times, without any issues.

In any event, both instances that I have read of have indicated that it was a quick fraud alert and the account was quickly cleared. No longterm hold up of money or shutdowns. Certainly not enough to warrant an abandonment of usage of the service.
You're probably right...And there's no way I'm stopping but I'm just going to steer clear of bank transfers.
On a side note- Do you (and others) keep a balance in your BB account? Or just load and empty it out?
