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.
