Title: Are there any exchanges that accept online transfers of fiat?
Post by: Elwar on October 23, 2013, 03:41:10 AM
I am currently in Afghanistan on a military base. I have a lot of money I want to turn into Bitcoins but now that CampBx does not allow Dwolla deposits I have no way of getting money from my Wells Fargo account to an exchange.

CoinBase allows for bank transfers but they also do not allow me to set a buy price.

I checked the Wells Fargo site and the only way to send an international wire transfer is if I go into the store to set it up.

Bitstamp, Bitfinex and BTC-e allow international wire transfers, CampBx allows USPS money orders.

CampBX also allows checks, maybe have someone at home send in a check for ya.

I also noticed campbx will soon be able to do ACH pulls.

Otherwise I guess coinbase is your best bet.

Hmm, I can send online bill pay checks from Wells Fargo. It would be great if that worked. Though I am not a big fan of their help support turn around.

They won't take those, have to write your email on the check as well as your username. Can't be a printed check must be a personal normal check.

BIPS.me might still do bank ACH's as well.

Ahh, the bill pay checks allow for a memo. Maybe I will try a small transaction to test it.

I've tried, didn't work. Been months and still never credited to my account at campbx. It was also never debited from my bank since they never cashed the check.

Ahh, ok. BIPS.me appears to be a merchant bitcoin payment site, not an exchange.

why not offer WF transfer for coins in the marketplace? they are a pretty big bank, bound to be some interest.  :)

True, though I do not plan on buying until things settle down (crash). I would like to have fiat ready when it does.

They are both a payment system and an exchange (similar to coinbase). I have sold coins there many times in the past.
