Title: Bitcoin exchange accepting GBP
Post by: bitfriend on May 30, 2013, 10:38:47 AM

Hi there.

Does anyone know of a reliable exchange accepting GBP. I have previously had to convert GBP to Euros which costs. SEPA transfers should be free according to the exchange I used but my bank in UK charged.

Thanks for that info. I was told that a bank wire from my UK bank to exchange more expensive than SEPA.

Bitstamp (https://www.bitstamp.net/help/how-to-buy/) accepts SEPA transfers.
It is USD-denominated ~~but you can send them any currency, AFAIK~~ (apparently (https://www.bitstamp.net/help/how-to-sell/) you can withdraw only USD or EUR instead: they might accept inbound GBP, but I'm not sure which fees they might ask).
