We are working hard to bring back GBP wires as soon as possible. Currently, the only way to transfer funds to your Coinbase account would be to use SEPA or to purchase using a 3D Secure enabled credit or debit card. Prior to sending funds, you will need to look into your bank's policies on exchanging for EUR as well as any other fees they may apply for this service.Last edited by pjclarke; 19 September 2017, 09:03.My subconscious is annoying.

Pros - if it worked as advertised, would be a slick way of buying BTC for GBP quickly. But the website seems flaky, it says my limit is X but when I try to buy says I can only have (X/4) until I jump through some more ID verification hoops.
No currency fees or commission, costs are built into the price.
Cons - Expensive, one punter reckons you pay a premium of £200 per BTC for the 'convenience' Website not going to win any prizes for ease of use.See You Next TuesdayComment

Originally posted by Jog On View PostI cashed out my initial investment only - now just playing with the house's money. Might regret it if it goes to $1M/BTC but then would also if I kept it all in and it went to $0...
I think they are US based - you can't buy BTC only hold them as a wallet and transfer between different 'cards'. I was chuffed with being able to transfer BTC directly into GBP in my account though.
Can you move that over to your bank account?Comment

That's less than 1%.
