Bitcoin Forum

I have already had several bank accounts closed without notice, usually after starting to make or receive wire transfers to and from Bitcoin exchanges.

Does anyone have a good bank in Europe to suggest that will allow wire transfers to and from Bitcoin exchanges ?
Ideally, the bank should offer accounts in multiple currencies like USD.

I know of Fidor Bank in Germany which is pro-bitcoin but unfortunately they require German residency to open an account and they only offer EUR accounts.

i think you don't have to use your bank account to sending fiat for buying or selling bitcoin but you can use third party like friends that have bitcoin and you can sell or buy from that guy. or you can buy with using localbitcoin and using your paypal account or with your credit card. so you don't have to risk your bank account to do this.

Have you been using personal or business bank accounts to perform your trades? As long as you are collecting the identity of the people you are trading with and scrupulously logging every trade, I'd think it would be fine to use a business bank account for this purpose. You might even have to get a license from the regulator, depending on which country you are in?

I haven't had any problems with ING from sending or receiving wire transfers to/from exchanges, but I haven't been sending huge amounts though. Only around 1000 euros max.
