Coinbase works best with USA banks, but you can only buy BTC.  Kraken.com works too, but their system has issues every so often.

I use a CC when I buy in bitstamp.

Yea when i researched exchanges i read about problems with kraken, thats why i went with bitstamp. Fargo is denying all my debit transactions and today i tried wire and as soon as i put in bitstamps swift number they denied it.

Same here ... it worked for a day or two after they introduced the new payment processor but for the past two days all debit attempts are "declined"; I guess that was it for US support  PS ... I tried to contact Bitstamp on FB to ask about this, but go figure, no answer yet

I emailed them and heard back...

“thank you for reaching out.

Please note that your transactions have been declined because of cardholder unavailability.

I kindly suggest you contact your bank/debit card provider and make sure that you are enrolled to the 3DSecure program.

Should you need anything else, we remain available.

Best regards,

Bitstamp Support”

@XENO777 that is BS ... I am using my same VISA to pay for a lot of utilities bills which all use 3d Secure and it works just fine ... my guess is they can not verify properly the street address so they don`t even try to go past that part. Thanks for sharing their reply though

Yea fargo says all their cards are 3d secure and said there is no transaction even showing on my card, but then fargo also blocked my wire too so idk ?

I used Chase bank to transfer to Bitstamp. It required a wire transfer to some bank in Slovenia. lol...

Now that I actually know what I'm doing, and I advise you do the same, purchase bitcoin on Coinbase, and withdraw it to Bitstamp.

Skip the whole Slovenian bank transfer part --

Have you tried the reverse? As in withdrawing fiat from Bitstamp to bank?

 Must be US Bank prejudice. They think it is a scam Bank. So narrow-minded.
Just because it is in the Balcans - Still at war in some way the US is always.

I live within the SEPA zone (Europe)
I do my SEPA-transfers to the bank account that is associated with Bitstamp.
No fees applied.
When that is completed my fiat EUR is on my Bitstamp account to trade with
No problem what so ever, done it over and over and over again

Wish it was that easy all i want to do is buy! Now i either gotta get a new bank acc or get set up with another exchange. But then who knows if fargo will donthe same thing again, might have to do both
