thanks, I saw that Tether was trading at a premium to par today around 1.03 USD. That is 3% plus fees and commissions I don't want to pay.

is bad if tether not accepted deposit and withdraw use fiat money

You got very few exchanges to choose from. Exchanges that offer USD/USDT pair:
- Bitfinex, Link: https://www.bitfinex.com/
- Kraken, Link: https://www.kraken.com/

There is another route, however, you can buy BTC with USD (tons of options), then transact it with USDT on Poloniex or Bittrex. But fees would kill you.

I do not see Tether trading on Bitfinex, only tether deposits/withdrawals.

ON Bittrex I see a USDT/BTC market with good volume. Also USDT/ETH.

Though how to get the USDT? Does a USD deposit at Bittrex become USDT?

from bittrex.com

"We do offer wire transfers in the amount of $10,000 or greater for BTC and ETH purchases. If this is of interest to you please let us know in a support ticket that you would like to wire funds. Your account must be Enhanced Verified before we begin the wire transfer process."

I like to know this too. There doesn't seem to be a way to buy USDT with USD on Bittrex. Can anyone eleborate?
