Thought I would turn to my fellow Bitcoiners ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Wire transfers simply take too long to process, been using Bitstamp since October, 2013 they were pretty fast (avg. 2 days) now they consistently take 3-4 days. Sepa is an option, generally 1 day faster than Wire however the associated fees/charges equate to around 3%. There has to be a better way! Any suggestions guys?

Banks suck. Bank transaction (sepa, wire, everything) is slow as hell. That's the way it is ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) This is why we need Bitcoin ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yes. You can deposit BTC fairly quickly. Exchanges usually require 3-6 confirmations. Fiat takes days to weeks depending on how you are transferring and whatever authority arbitrarily decides that your transaction is ok.

Bitstamp does deal with Ripple. Perhaps there's a way to get dollars in there using that though I've no idea how.

Where are you looking to deposit from? US, European Union, UK or Asia-pacific region?

I have found that the best way for me (and rates) is using Virwox. I use credit card and paypal to fund my account, then change it to SLL and then to BTC. Only takes about 1 hour max to have the coins.
EDIT: Keep in mind that new accounts on Virwox require 48hours so that you get your coins. After that you get them fast. I have even made a payment to Bitmain directly from there.

I used Coinbase.com which took 4 days from my bank account transfer to coins. For someone newly getting into BTC and eager to have my first coins, that felt like forever. Then I used coin.mx and after confirming my bank account, the coins were in my wallet within an hour. They are located in the U.S. and are fully legit, I will vouch for them. Great customer support too. Live chat, and they'll call you to confirm. Hope this helps.

Interesting thanks bud! I have heard of this methods, although some folks are giving it mixed reviews (owning to the SLL/BTC rate and also Payeer/Credit card transaction fees - will research a bit more though

Guess that's the premium we pay for using an exchange with solid security/solvency : )

Thanks for the suggestions thus far!!
Trying to think outside the box now.
How about;
1. Going to Slovenia; Opening an account with Unicredit; Make all subsequent deposits via that account - Don't know if that would actually speed things up?
2. Open an International Account with (Eg. CitiBank); Try and do all BTC trading in EUR; Deposit via SEPA
Any one have up to date experience depositing fiat funds to Kraken, BTC-e or Bitfinex?

If you have a Dutch bank account, you can instantly buy BTC up to 10K euro at https://bitonic.nl/ They go by the BTC-e rate with a small service premium, but in case of an uptrend in BTC that shouldn't be a problem.
