There's got to be a simpler way to purchase BTC without a 3-5 day bank transfer I need them now lol jk but seriously it is rather hard and having to wait around for money to move cant be doing the BTC currency much good?

This is exactly what I have been saying.

I did a "same day bank transfer" from tradehill. Tradehill sent it out. But figure this one out.

The BOA told me it will take 24-48 hours to be sent out.

How the hell is this a same day transfer?

Paxum is slow. Paypal is not secure. 

Almost noone offers Moneygram or WU. I would take these options in a heartbeat. But noone will offer this. I do not see why.

We're going to launch a new Bitcoin exchange soon with a bank account in Belgium. Won't solve your problem entirely but it might cut down a day in the bank transfer.

I moved some GBP to Britcoin via regular UK online banking just after midnight this morning. About an hour ago the funds reached my Britcoin account and I bought bitcoins with them. It did once take several days but that was when there was a huge software change; usually it is well within 24 hours.

Yes it's very reputable - before trusting it a did a search on Amir Taaki, saw his interviews on Youtube and his involvement in Bitcoin development. It was good enough for me.
