Title: Inexpensive established exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: hitchingAride on January 08, 2016, 11:06:05 PM what exchange would you use to buy bitcoins with a banking account?
I have used coinbase in the past for bitcoins but think the fees are ridiculously high over 1% per transaction is way too much! so am now considering alternatives Title: Re: Inexpensive established exchange to buy bitcoins?

Title: Re: Inexpensive established exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: odolvlobo on January 09, 2016, 12:41:37 AM Please note that Coinbase and Circle are not exchanges. They are more like traders or maybe brokers. You buy and sell bitcoins directly with them.
As for exchanges, there are at least two in the U.S.: Coinbase Bitcoin Exchange (run by Coinbase): https://exchange.coinbase.com/ Gemini: https://exchange.gemini.com Both of these charge something like 0.2%, which is about as low as you can find. The downside is that you are trading on an exchange and is a little more complicated. Title: Re: Inexpensive established exchange to buy bitcoins?

Sorry if I mixed up the terminology im not looking for trading of btc but rather just buying some bitcoin with cash from my bank account. Title: Re: Inexpensive established exchange to buy bitcoins?

If you trading large sum of money, you can use huobi which has zero fee. Although you pay for the wire transfer fees, if you trade a lot, and will be covered.

Post by: mtnsaa on January 09, 2016, 02:19:18 PM Well it's a exchange service that never comes up in these type of threads but I just thought about it and I think you can do that with Xapo. Maybe someone can correct me if that's correct alternative? I know you can trade but you can definitely buy BTC there, not sure about the fees though.

Post by: amacar2 on January 09, 2016, 04:57:48 PM what exchange would you use to buy bitcoins with a banking account? you are quite lucky to be in european country i guess. You can buy bitcoin with local currency or from directly your bank only paying 1% fee. I have used coinbase in the past for bitcoins but think the fees are ridiculously high over 1% per transaction is way too much! so am now considering alternatives I don't think 1% is quite big fee to be able to buy bitcoin directly through bank cash. |
