name a website that accepts swift wires and sells bitcoin, and doesn't have long identity verification process

According to some resources, you can do that on Bitfinex, Cex.io, Paxful and so on. Find more details here: https://bitcoinbestbuy.com/buy-bitcoin-swift/

I never tried it before though, so you better do further research.

If I were you I'd stay away from paxful they are scammers ,the trusted source I've been using since 2016 is Luno ,fast easy and very straight forward

OP next time you can use the Google web Search and you'll get some options on what you're searching for and in this case ask for opinions on the exchange you find that one can buy bitcoin with swift transfer. Then we can drop our advice on which is more safer or safest to use and the ones known for scamming their customers.

I did a research and according to this Cryptoradar (https://cryptoradar.co/buy-bitcoin/bank-transfer/) website, they found 19 cryptocurrency marketplaces that accept payment via SEPA or SWIFT.  I also discovered that you can buy bitcoins online with International Wire (SWIFT) on Localbitcoin  (https://localbitcoins.com/buy-bitcoins-online/international-wire-swift/)

Go through those site and I hope you find one that'll be convince to do transaction with.

If you don't want  that long identity hustle, the Localbitcoins should be good. Also buying it in bits rather than at once would also be a good option

Hello probably the OP has researched on it and is just seeking for additional information from the group and going by the fact that it's a good number of bitcoin he/she wants to purchase it's a good move.
Like you correctly said the one of the best way to purchase it would be from an exchange and if you must get it of line you would need an escrow

There are many ways to buy Bitcoin, You can buy it from localbitcoins if you like it. You can also buy it using direct USD fiat currency from some exchange market like as bittrex.

Depends on in which country you are.

I would not risk such a high amount of money at local bitcoins.

Go to reliable exchanges such as Coinbase, Bitstamp or Kraken.

Cex.io usually have a much higher BTC price, so I wouldn´t recommend it.

There are really many ways you can buy Bitcoin. But choose the right and convenient way for you and always stay away from scams. I think the best way is to buy as fiat on reputable exchanges like Coinbase, Remitano ..

Coinbase, Bitstamp and Kraken are all pretty thorough as far as identity checks are concerned. Last time I had to update some personal info on Bitstamp it took a few weeks to update, but that was during the height of the bull market so things may proceed faster now.

While I also wouldn't buy 30 BTC in bulk via LocalBitcoins it may be worth trying to buy smaller amounts via multiple sellers. Be aware that some of the more professional sellers nowadays ask for IDs as well, however that process shouldn't be as lengthy as your standard exchange KYC procedure.

KYC procedure may be really a pain in the ass in those exchanges.

However 30 BTC is a very high investment and you should do everything the "right" way, without shortcuts. Buying from multiple sellers in localbitcoins may be an option. However, for all this amount of money I woulnd´t mind to do KYC. It may even protect yourself, in case there is any problem while buying.

I'm assuming that OP wants to avoid proper KYC for privacy reasons but in general I fully agree with you.

If it's a question of time, rather than privacy, OP could also open an account with all three of those exchanges and then simply buy on the exchange that processed their documents the fastest.

My answer is out of what you really need but here in my country, people mostly do a meetup transaction for that kind of amount (average BTC1 to BTC10). Its' way less hassle, no KYC, and minimizing the risks of scam. Of course do it on public place with companions.

Where will you seek on it? Local crypto community, local social media crypto group etc.

It's just that it takes time to find one for the amount you have mentioned. So in here, you will try for smaller amount until you reached your target.

At the moment exchanges are so dead compared to bubbly times that I can't imagine you're going to be in for any type of wait for verification. The last time I did it was for Coinbase a few months ago and that was sorted within a couple of hours.

Pick and exchange that works for you and register. If somewhere takes weeks then something's seriously wrong with them. They'll mainly be sitting around making paper aeroplanes waiting for customers.

If you want KYC free then it's not going to happen these days.



All of those would be at the absolute bottom of my list.

Maybe I am wrong, but OP is ask to invest 100 000$+ and I doubt he have that money. Just a fact that he ask such question tells us he's a beginner who probably want to get some merit or show that he can buy 30 BTC just like that.

If in any case this was a real question, my suggestion is not to use only one exchange to avoid the risk that money get stuck there due to possible checks related to AML or anti-terrorist activity. Although 30 BTC is maybe not big amount, but it is much more than the average user buy, and certainly attract attention.

Luno's fees are cutthroat though. I would recommend Remitano. P2P exchange with control over prices.

But KYC is present.

I don't see much people recommending Bitpanda, but I thing that would be the best option. They buy/sell so no trading on their platform, with a flat fee of 1.25% I think it's perfect for buying or selling quick. If you are in the SEPA zone then your transfer will be approved in 24hr.

Thats not even a high amount, 100k is pretty low considering people buy cars worth that much everyday.  JUust do the transaction at a bank or a police station and you will be safe.

There's something funny about the thought of some dude entering a police station with a laptop under his arm, asking for the Wifi password to anonymously buy 100k worth of Bitcoin via wire transfer.

If you do choose to buy coins through something like wire transfer on a P2P platform like Paxful or Localbitcoins, it's best to split up your transactions so you don't get scammed off of one 30 BTC order. The best way for you to buy coins by far is just to simply use an exchange with the amount you're talking about if you care about security- there's almost no queue for verification on most exchanges anymore due to a significant drop in demand for exchange services as we're currently in a bear market.

exchanges takes too long to approve the documentation

so can you name some best cryptocurrency exchanges ?

Some decent crypto exchanges have already been listed earlier in this thread, but a few of them you could try using include Coinbase and Kraken. There's really no 'best' exchange as there are always people with bad experiences on every single exchange, and no exchange is perfect, but for the most part the listed exchanges should be fine for buying a quantity like 30 BTC.

I agree. I'd suggest going for like 6 trades of 5 BTC each, it'll be much safer.

Moreover, @OP, if you're ready to give out like 10 minutes of verification (not a very long process), you may use Bittrex. With little KYC details, they provide you about 500 BTC worth of USD deposit/withdrawal limit directly from/to your specified bank account.

why not just use trusted escrow ?

I would choose most known ones, most reliable ones because this is big amount.
Bitfinex could be my first choice.
Be careful tho, scan your PC and take all precautions possible.

Use localbitcoins where you can ask more BTC in exchange with USD. There are other exchanges that will let you buy more BTC but many users here are agreeing that localbit could accomodate your order. Anyway, you can also ask for some miners here to exchange their mine BTC to your USD. The problem is that many here are scammers and could not be trusted when it comes to buying crypto.

LUNA doesn't work for me, slow and shady.

Which ones have you tried? I think you'll find that many will get it done within a few hours at the moment. You also have the ones that use weirdos on Skype to look at you and that'll be done in minutes. It's not like late 2017. There are not hordes of people rushing to sign up.

bitfinex

Give some others a try before giving up on exchanges. That's a very strange place that doesn't particularly want conventional customers. At one point you couldn't open an account with less than $10,000. Also moving fiat there is going to be very slow compared to the more retail focused places like Coinbase Pro, Gemini or Kraken.

Bitfinex's banking is usually secret and in some weird tax haven.

I recommend Coinbase -

You didn't specify your country, in my country there is a website called remitano, they are an escrow service that escrows the funds between buyers and sellers, that is the service I use.

thanks for suggestion, i am currently trying binanace stable coin

I want to talk something. Money is very dear to people. You want to buy 30 bitcoin at once. If you look at it, it's a bigger one so do not go to buy bitcoin from any site whose hearing in anybody's words. First of all, I will tell you if anyone close to you purchases Bitcoin, get help from him. In fact, in such cases, your country has many issues.If you can buy Bitcoin face to face it is best but there was a big problem. There are many countries that have declared Bitcoin illegal for there countries. If you are involved in these countries, then Bitcoin has been declared illegal in those countries the police will have trouble. So I would suggest that if your government accept Bitcoin then you try to buy it face to face. If you can not buy with Face to Face Please purchase from 100% trusted site anyone you know from the site has already purchased Bitcoin. Do not buy all 30 bitcoin One at a time, Purchase in a little bit and little bit.
Thank you.

There are many ways to buy, basically the above has been replied, it is not sure which one to choose, choose the most recommended.
I think it should be a good time to buy now.

If you don't wanna Do any KYC you better a find a Local Bitcoin Miner and  Miners group, so that you can buy a lot cheaper than in exchanges. Care should be taken about your safety, 30BTC is a huge amount so people will be ready to do anything. make this business Carefully or else Go to any Exchange like Binance and Bitrex.

localbitcoins or exchanges which you can trust. Ask your friends, it would be the best way ::)

Buying $100k worth of bitcoin I’d rather go though and exchange or Coinbase, I’m almost certain with current traffic exchanges are getting at the moment you will be verified in hours.

Flippant comments like ‘its only 100k people buy cars for that’ I can tell you with confidence the vast vast majority don’t just BT over the full amount for a car especially when it makes next to no financial sense to be buying a depreciating asset out right like that.

If you’re concerned about privacy, tumble the coins after withdrawing to your wallet.

I do not know website like this you asking but website selling bitcoin is not hard to find.you need google search skill.

You can try Bitpanda, they are very fast.
Or you can buy Bitcoin at Coinmama or Poloniex. They also accept swift.

Buy from a reliable source only, you did not mention your geo-location, which country you belong to, because that plays an important role in buying BitCoins. Local Bitcoin is good, Coinbase, indacoin are good too, conditioned they provide services in your country.

no trying binance

be careful to buy worth of 30 btc because  in that large of coin you buy there are more scamers have interested to join. i recommend you to buy in localbitcoin just search it and join.. because in localbitcoin you can buy bitcoin tru meetup...

This is a huge amount. Most online exchanges require KYC for such big transactions, and even with the verification, it is a bit hard. Maybe you should make it in dividends, or search an online seller and meet him in person to complete the deal safely.

with these sums you should rather no F2F business close. rather to a respectable stock exchange turn. there will of course kyc duty give but that should be no problem.
if nevertheless there is surely someone who would like to help you.
but please be careful and also check the trust ratings and use escrow!

Long identify process is nothing compared to use reliable, respectable exchange with good track record.
That is most important. Its big amount so be careful.

Let me give you some very super important tip, always buy BTC with legitimate source, specially when you are buying this big amount, since exchanges these days are keeping transactions on hold and asking for KYC also for the source of the fund. Buying such a big amount from local bitcoin is never safe. I will not recommend you doing that, you can buy doing KYC on IndaCoin, Coinswitch.co (https://coinswitch.co/) has integrated IndaCoin on their platform for buying from USD. Though I am sure you will have to pay a slightly higher price, but being safe is more important.

Buying 30 bitcoin isn't a big thing. From my understanding it is always good to find the best and convenient way of trading. As it is a big fund bank transfer might get into into taxation. There are payment services that let you buy in person, where you need reveal your identity, but can get rid of taxation on the transaction.

Just do kyc in binance and bittrex, I don't think that will be a big deal besides buying in person also does reveal your identity.
Nonetheless, don't buy bulk amount, just buy 1btc per day in binance and you'll save your identity.
