Been using Kraken but takes ages to get a Sepa payment cleared so wouldn't mind a quick alternative thats safe and secure. it's also been added to bitpanda and you can buy with a visa card.

If you have to factor in time and cost to do a SEPA payment to a european exchange. The fee your bank will charge you for it and the ****** exchange rate they will give you. Or the 5% fee and ****** exchange rate and foreign currency charge your credit/debit card provider will charge you if you try and pay by card on Bitstamp, say. Then is it not a bad price. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not checked recently, but at least a few weeks ago, you could not withdraw or deposit XRP at Bitpanda, only buy it there and trade it. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Off track thread much? LOL Don't get me started on places like BItPanda, eToro or Revolut, that don't actually let you withdraw crypto - in some cases you're just buying a 'representation' of this in GBP, which goes against all the freedom principles of owning it in the first place. Just to be clear @hammertoe we didn't receive any payment from you, and hence it expired. Sadly, and you may have experienced this on your platform, some people just don't pay, and that's fine. Likely your bank did hold the payment, or you did not send the payment at all As soon as they give legitimate businesses like ourselves bank accounts to grow we'll be flying. I urge you as a business owner, as we have done as a group of individuals in the blockchain space, to reach out to the FCA and explain your experiences. It is morally wrong in my opinion to deny bank accounts. I wonder if the Peaky Blinders would get one. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is morally wrong in my opinion to deny bank accounts. I wonder if the Peaky Blinders would get one. Probably. I assure you I made the payment. As a new beneficiary, it required me to use the mobile app to confirm the new beneficiary and authorise the payment. But it does seem very odd that it then shows no sign of it at all in my online banking. I would put my money on it was Lloyds that screwed up at my end, nothing to do with your end. I will call them when they are open tomorrow to check. I will try calling the FCA and talk to them. I think from what I read in that article you posted, they are actually in favour of it. It is the banks supposedly blocking it. But so far I have tried to get a business current account with: - Santander - Barclays - Starling - Revolut Business - Monzo - Tide - Allied Irish - Isle of Man Bank (RBS) All of which have said they would not open an account for us. Starling went so far as to say they would shut down any personal accounts they saw doing any transactions with crypto businesses too. We are now talking to a few payment processing companies instead, but still they seem to be balking at the notion of crypto currencies. -Matt Edited January 25, 2018 by hammertoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a man of your expertise knows how to track down the payment (you say) you made. All the best with your venture, I genuinely hope you succeed @hammertoe. More volume going into cryptocurrencies the better! Edited January 25, 2018 by SimonM I cannot type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is morally wrong in my opinion to deny bank accounts. I wonder if the Peaky Blinders would get one. Probably. Not really off topic as I’m just giving another option to those buying with GBP. I’ve bought quite a bit of bitcoin, ltc and eth through bitpanda and had no issues transferring to other exchanges or wallets. Xrp isn’t fully functional yet, but until now it was the only site where I could just buy with my debit card. TBF I’ve only topped up small amounts recently and mainly buy on Binance. will take a look at this site too. Are you involved with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertoe Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just something I noticed: CryptoMate (www.cryptomate.co.uk) CryptoMarket (www.cm.org.uk) CryptoMonster (www.cryptomonster.co.uk) Clearly I've worked out where I'm going wrong! -CryptoMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseInTime Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The prices don't seem to be fluctuating much on their site, which rings alarm bells. Also Faster Payment by bank transfer has zero fraud protection My recommended route would be UK Debit card -> Coinbase LTC* -> Shapeshift.io or Changelly -> XRP into wallet. *LTC has lowest fees and fastest transaction of the coins on coinbase at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geospectrum Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Interesting, I buy XRP on bitstamp and others on occasion on coinbase, with my UK HSBC debit a card. They haven't blocked it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
