To make a long story short, we needed to withdraw 3k from our Vanguard IRA when we closed on our house earlier this month. The account is in my wife's name, and she submitted a request for the amount to be wired to our checking account. That was back on December 16th. On December 20th they deposited 0.5 and 0.45 cents. On December 21st they deposited 0.50 cents. And until now, nothing. I asked my wife about it and she said after speaking with them on the phone that this is a process of account verification. So my question is, why is this taking so long? She was initially told it took anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to process. 10 days since they messed with our checking account, and 14 days since the initial request and they have yet to deposit the amount requested.
We've never withdrawn money from an investment account before this so I'm unclear as to how long this should take.
