Bitcoin Forum

Note: Bank transfers are out of the questions (Wire/ACH) both these are not accepted outside of business days with all banks.
Note2: I am located in USA.

I'm not sure in which country you are but I know that making a transfer you can use Western Union
They have their website where you can transfer online and using bank account! https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/send-money/start.html

According to western union it takes 6 (business) days for bank transfers. Meaning not only is it not available on the weekends but I would have already been able to buy bitcoins on Monday with wire transfer for a lesser fee. The purpose of this question is so that I can find a way to buy bitcoins over the weekend that takes less time then the next business day coming is, so I don't need to wait til monday for a wire transfer. IF that makes sense.

You can try bitpanda.com (http://bitpanda.com) or cubits.com (http://cubits.com)
They both allow wire transfers in a relatively quick time.

Didn't know it takes too long for bank transfers really doesn't worth, but have you tried to use localbitcoin and make transfer now/today if the banks work on saturday mornings.
Really haven't been faced with such situation but seems to hard for bank transfers, I searched in google for weekend transfers but banks don't provide this which they say next business day it will be processed.

All bank transfers are not available in the weekends for any banks, although some banks allow you to initiated wire transfers on Saturdays they will not send any credits til monday. Although if you have money on your debit/credit card you are allowed to use this of course.

I would just find someone on my local boards willing to exchange via normal online banking, there has to be someone that you know and who you trust
that can help you, after all, you are here over a year , it would be logical that you made some contacts in that time.

Hi!

Important to answer that question is mostly where are you located?
In europe maybe the best place would be anycoin.eu
With a EPS payment (instant bank transfer) you can get your bitcoins within minutes.

Best luck!

I am located in USA, I will add that to the post now. I wonder if there is any options like this in USA.

The advantage to having a UK bank account is that, with the exception of NatWest bank, transfers are instant, even at the weekend!  Sorry, that doesn't help if you're not in the UK or don't have access to a UK bank account, but hopefully soon the rest of the world might catch up.

Yea big brand banks in USA have partnered up recently and made it so that between the select banks that partnered up you can instant transfer from bank to bank using a special payment option but sadly you can't do this with the place I buy bitcoins from, thanks for the input though.

check:
spicepay (https://spicepay.com/index.php)
bitpanda (https://www.bitpanda.com)

or paxful/localbitcoin

I tried out the 2 links you sent and they appear to be for EU only, I am located in USA these choices are unavailable for me. As for LBC/Pax there are no known methods for me to buy bitcoins with my bank on the weekend.

Might want to give https://localbitcoins.com/ a try.

Thanks for the input though

What i do is i buy a  steam giftcard and then instantly trade it for bitcoins on localbitcoins.

I know its more expensive but i have banking problems in South Africa need to reapply for online banking every week and then keeps on discontinuing services. So found a temporary way.

https://localbitcoins.com/p/saisaisuifeng/ just thought this might help. Have a good day payment not needed

yes buy gift cards and sell then on local bitcoins for your bitcoins or use meet in person on there if you have cash and are near a city that as a seller

I originally planned on doing this but it goes way higher than 3-4% of market price and makes waiting a better option then buying bitcoin over the weekend.

get down on your knees a ask GOD

Its way more expensive but i think i appreciate that its no wait the, i wait aprox 1 min and then send the trader the code. He releases btc straight away if code is valid,half a minute later its in my wallet but wat rather  because patience is a virtue. Gl il [m you a way if i find one

Can you use a debit card? You can just transfer the money you used back into that account through wire transfer when the weekend is over

If you can, use circle.com which is a reliable service but limits are low and normally around 1%-2% above market value (feel free to use my ref link: https://www.circle.com/invite/PSBMMB)

Maybe you can buy a prepaid credit card at the gas station and buy bitcoin with https://www.virwox.com (https://www.virwox.com) I did it before but not sure what the rates are nowadays. You only have to trade from eur/usd to linden dollars and can do the exchange linden dollars into bitcoin. But check it out yourself if you think it's useful.

So , the best option is localbitcoins.

You can use money gram, western union to buy from localbitcoins. There can be no limits but the only problem is that the fees are too high. second option an atm where you can buy bitcoins, but such big ammounts but in any cases.

There are probably too many options. I just can't understand where is your problem.

Hey thanks for your input, Western union would take to long and requires bank transfer which is unable to be done on the weekend, and as for money gram that requires cash for most ads on LBC and that goes against one of my rules.

please try e-money is simple

Could you explain a little more.

But if you are having a bank account why you do not withdraw cash and use one of all that options on lb?

Do you have a card linked to your bank account ?

Yes I have a debit card attached to my bank.

So why you can not use western union or so many transfer methods accepted on localbitcoins? This things work even on weekends. For example, I understand this is not your case, I use 2 banks. Raiffeisen and ING, if i can find an exchanger working with one of this the transfer through internet banking is on moment.

I can put you in contact with some traders that can help you out with this problem!

That would take longer than the time monday would come around. It would make more sense to wait at that point.

i think using e-money is very simples if you want to buying or selling or withdrawing funds,you simply register and what you want will be fulfilled in the e-money,because account e-money support all kinds of curencies,including the BTC

Based off everyones answers I don't think that getting bitcoin through your bank is possible with the terms I set in, If anyone reading this does know a way send me a PM and if it works I will still you the .005. Thanks for the help everyone.
