Israelis can now purchase bitcoins at their local exchange bureau thanks to a new collaboration between bitcoin exchange Bits of Gold and Global Money Transfer (GMT).

The partnership with GMT means Bits of Gold can ensure it complies with current and future anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer regulations in Israel. At the moment, the maximum amount of cash people can change into bitcoins via Bits of Gold is 10,000 Israeli new shekel (around $2,800).
