Thank you for reporting, their account has already been terminated!

I just went to TSBs homepage and used their ask a question feature - entered Swift code and got this respeonse:

And yes at the moment bitcoin is still in a building phase - in which we are all a part of - the best incentive at this point for most, is that they avoid high costs in credit card fees as more and more are placing the extra cost on the customers as well as more and more restrictions on what cards you can use.
Hope that helps!

At BIPS we offer to accept and pay out in all currencies that are supported by our bank as well as holding foreign currency accounts for as many major currency accounts as possible.
GBP is next on our list to add, but this is still going to be an international transfer as only SEPA offer next to instant bank transfers across borders, and that is only workable in EUR.

As both Britain and Denmark are not using the Euro as the main currency within our banking systems, conversions are almost always inevitable. However you can send GBP to us and we will load your account with bitcoin according to our conversion rate (fiat to bitcoin) less the actual bank fee.

Unfortunately many banks around the world still charge very high fees on international transfers, even if they are conducted in the local currency.
We are lucky to have a banking system with rather low banking fees and the max fee paid is equivalent to $7.5 USD with the lowest being $2.25 USD.

This is actually one of the reasons bitcoin is such a great way to pay. Once you have bitcoin, sending payments across borders becomes free or almost free.
However converting from fiat to bitcoin and vice versa will never be free unless banks across the globe decide to ditch the fees - and we know that will never happen.

Sure as a payment solution provider, we could open bank accounts all across the globe and it's quite possible we will have many local bank options in the future. That will not be free either though. Daily transfers to local clients accounts, possibly, but maintaining a bank account in a foreign country is certainly not free. Having said that, we will strive to make transfers as cheap as possible no matter where you are located in the world and are adding more options as fast as we possibly can.

As for atm machines at this point - Bitcoin usage and demand is still scattered over large areas and setting up such machines would carry a huge bill, which one way or another has to be paid. We will be back to regular bank atm fees for buying bitcoins this way and even that will take a long time before will be a reality.

Physical presence requires money - there is no way around it.

The probable best solution for your customers for now, would be to encourage them to buy bitcoin in bulk in order to spread bank transfer flat fees over a larger amount. And then use bitcoins to pay for services.
And even better for the long term, would be for them themselves to accept bitcoins as payments for goods and services and then spend the bitcoin with another supplier of goods accepting bitcoin.
Keep the circulation in bitcoin instead of converting back and forth to fiat. As much as possible!

BIPS no carga 4,5%, utilizamos las tasas Bitstamp porque MtGox tarda 6-8 semanas para procesar los retiros y eso es demasiado tiempo para esperar por los fondos. Funciona en torno al 2,5%, lo que permite una garantía y nuestros costos retirarse. No hay otras tasas cobradas al retirar al banco de BIPS (excepto la tarifa fija cobrada por el banco).
Y los comerciantes no suelen facturar en Bitcoin todos modos, así que no tendría les importa lo que se utilizó tasa, para el consumidor, sí, pero entonces usted puede comprar más barato en bitcoin Bitstamp también.

$ 15 para recibir los bancos tristes no son agradables de allí

That's what our bank charges

BIPS puede enviar de euros a las cuentas bancarias de Costa Rica y una transferencia bancaria tiene un coste de 7,50 (USD).
Los comerciantes pueden establecer su cantidad mínima de transferencia, por lo que no tiene que pagar la cuota para ventas pequeñas, pero combinar sus ventas y todavía tienen la tasa garantizada.
Es viable creo, incluso para una pequeña empresa.

Un comerciante de Costa Rica puede utilizar BIPS Bitcoins para convertir a Costa Rica Colón, sólo los fondos enviados estarían en euros o dólares, luego se convierte en el banco de los comerciantes en el recibo. Probablemente también Bitpay, pero no puedo decir a ciencia cierta si.
Lo siento si mi español no es el mejor, espero que entiendas lo que quiero decir.

ps.
Edited out your email in the quote so avoid the spam bots, you may wanna do the same.

An offshore company and bank account wont help you much against the US gov
if your business is doing business with US customers and they deem your business is not operating according to their law.

Regardless of that though,
any company that legally registers off shore companies and bank accounts, will need your full ID anyway,
so its not as anonymous as you may think.

not sure if anyone is ever gonna break mine  - - - - > July 2011 and only just got that keyboard fixed
