Blockchain only does Sofort Banking?

I don't think Transferwise is needed for BITSTAMP as they state on their website free deposits for UK bank accounts IIRC.  You need to send the money from your online banking as a international transfer/payment.

Does anyone know if Transferwise can be used to receive money in the UK cheaply as BITSTAMP does charge for UK deposits.

No it isn't but I am sure you will find your bank will sting you whatever method you choose in terms of fees and exchange rates.

As far as I know transferwise is a payment system only

My bad it does do UK for SEPA transfers. I'm gonna give it a shot now thanks

UK wire transfers to international destinations are around £25 I think at my local bank branch.

Also they take an age to complete (process)

SEPA seems to be the quickest and cheapest in terms of fees I think

Agree, and if anyone can find a SEPA payment system that beats transferwise's flat fee of £1 for up to 200 GBP/EUR - 0.5% for larger then I would be interested to know.

AH "Great Britain"...so used to seeing United Kingdom!

Thats where I got confused

So we've basically re-found out that transferwire is the best option ATM.

Have they also removed their barclays option?

[bowen151]

Yep.

They have removed pingit and also GBP payments through sofort, the best option now is to do this through different websites:

With a UK debit card you can do this:

Simply sign up to transferwise: http://transferwise.com/u/f0bd

Open bitstamp

Click SEPA deposit on bitstamp page to get payment/banking information

Back to transferwise and input the details from bitstamp by pressing the "make a payment"

Upload your funds to transferwise by debit card or bank transfer and when they get that payment, the will then send it on to bitstamp as a SEPA payment.

24-72 hours later your bitstamp account should be credited and ready to buy bitcoin
