Title: Exchanging Bitcoin for Ringgit in Malaysia?
Post by: sonicode on February 04, 2015, 10:47:04 PM
I'm located in the USA.  I have a particular vendor in Malaysia that I'm trying to help receive my payments in Bitcoin instead of wire transfer. I sent him to BitX Malaysia (https://bitx.co/) to exchange his BTC for Ringgit. The problem is, he needs to exchange instantly to have Ringgit to run his business, but it takes WEEKS to complete a small 30BTC sell order.

My Malaysian vendor contacted BitX Malaysia and their response is "The BitX Malaysia market is quite young. We hope the awareness and interest grows with time but there is nothing we can do to affect the forces of supply and demand."

Where can my vendor exchange BTC for Malaysian Ringgit settled to his business bank account quickly?

He should be able to exchange Bitcoin for Indonesian Rupiah or Indian Rupee, and from there to Ringgit.

Bitcoin is getting bigger in India, and Indomaret convenience stores sell BTC over-the-counter in Indonesia so there are probably some easy options for BTC-to-Rupiah.  And Rupiah to Ringgit should be pretty easy locally.
