I am currently looking for a way to use my bank account to buy bitcoins over the weekend, currently I am using wire transfer to buy bitcoin and wire transfer are not available over the weekend.
Some rules to this: - Must be done online - Must be at a good rate no more than 3-4% of market price - Must be able to be done quickily (no more than 1-2 days)
Thanks, I hope someone can help me figure out a way to get my bank to bitcoins over the weekends.
Note: Bank transfers are out of the questions (Wire/ACH) both these are not accepted outside of business days with all banks. Note2: I am located in USA.

According to western union it takes 6 (business) days for bank transfers. Meaning not only is it not available on the weekends but I would have already been able to buy bitcoins on Monday with wire transfer for a lesser fee. The purpose of this question is so that I can find a way to buy bitcoins over the weekend that takes less time then the next business day coming is, so I don't need to wait til monday for a wire transfer. IF that makes sense.

You can try bitpanda.com or cubits.comThey both allow wire transfers in a relatively quick time.

IF that makes sense. Didn't know it takes too long for bank transfers really doesn't worth, but have you tried to use localbitcoin and make transfer now/today if the banks work on saturday mornings. Really haven't been faced with such situation but seems to hard for bank transfers, I searched in google for weekend transfers but banks don't provide this which they say next business day it will be processed.

All bank transfers are not available in the weekends for any banks, although some banks allow you to initiated wire transfers on Saturdays they will not send any credits til monday. Although if you have money on your debit/credit card you are allowed to use this of course.

I would just find someone on my local boards willing to exchange via normal online banking, there has to be someone that you know and who you trust that can help you, after all, you are here over a year , it would be logical that you made some contacts in that time.

Hi!
Important to answer that question is mostly where are you located? In europe maybe the best place would be anycoin.eu With a EPS payment (instant bank transfer) you can get your bitcoins within minutes.
Best luck!

The advantage to having a UK bank account is that, with the exception of NatWest bank, transfers are instant, even at the weekend! Sorry, that doesn't help if you're not in the UK or don't have access to a UK bank account, but hopefully soon the rest of the world might catch up.

Yea big brand banks in USA have partnered up recently and made it so that between the select banks that partnered up you can instant transfer from bank to bank using a special payment option but sadly you can't do this with the place I buy bitcoins from, thanks for the input though.

I tried out the 2 links you sent and they appear to be for EU only, I am located in USA these choices are unavailable for me. As for LBC/Pax there are no known methods for me to buy bitcoins with my bank on the weekend.

I know its more expensive but i have banking problems in South Africa need to reapply for online banking every week and then keeps on discontinuing services. So found a temporary way. https://localbitcoins.com/p/saisaisuifeng/ just thought this might help. Have a good day payment not needed

I originally planned on doing this but it goes way higher than 3-4% of market price and makes waiting a better option then buying bitcoin over the weekend.

Its way more expensive but i think i appreciate that its no wait the, i wait aprox 1 min and then send the trader the code. He releases btc straight away if code is valid,half a minute later its in my wallet but wat rather because patience is a virtue. Gl il [m you a way if i find one
