Quote from: f3tus on October 30, 2017, 06:30:32 PM I've never used localbitcoins.com, but don't you transfer directly to a personal bank account of a seller/buyer, so it's impossible for them to know what the transfer was for? In this case, all of these services can still be used to buy/sell bitcoin. Yes, you are right. The cash transfer takes place directly between counterparties. And everything is good until somebody says BTC. The bank can ask questions. And if you answer something generic about goods and services it should do just fine. But what if your counterparty is not that aware and says straight it's a deal on localbitcoins? Sad but these days some banks treat BTC as a money laundring instrument. My research was aimed at mitigating this risk of being caught by unfriendly bank.

Quote from: f3tus on October 30, 2017, 06:02:27 PM Can't you still use it for localbitcoins.com selling/buying? Same goes for all the others that don't allow sending to exchanges. Well if you feel Ok about losing your money some day then yes. Check out the link I've given for LeuPay case in the same post. A guy had his account blocked and lost money. And that is not even on their terms and conditions. So they can invent a violation on the run if needed.

Hi everyone,

Let me share results of my little research on the suggested list agains 2 criteria: eligibility for different countries and is the service bitcoin-friendly?

Service	Countries	BTC-friendly	Links
Glob-coin	Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany,	Probably, yes?	Countries
	Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands,
	Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom
Paysera	Worldwide	Not really*	Countries BTC
DiPocket	EU only	?
TransferWise	Worldwide	Strictly NO**	Countries BTC
Sogexia	Very limited	?
Mistertango	Worldwide	Yes	BTC
LeuPay	Worldwide	Probably no	BTC
iCard	Worldwide	Probably no***

Notes:
* They say

According to the rules for usage of Paysera system, clients are prohibited from managing unlicensed virtual currencies (e.g. bitcoin). Therefore, transfers to systems which exchange such currencies are not performed.

Which is not 100% consistent as they offer Payza transfer as a separate transaction type (along with bank transfer or webmoney). Payza at the same time offers bitcoin exchange on their site Wink

We cannot support transfers from or to Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, directly or indirectly, through our services.

I tried and my transfer was cancelled because of this rule.

*** Looks like a spin-off/twin of LeuPay.

Hope this was useful. Moderators may want to add something to the top-post.

Disclaimer: I am of course not affilliated with any of the above companies or services. I am the user of some of them.

Hi, You may also be interested in this thread. Looks like the bank is legit but not bitcoin-friendly at all. Regards
