are they even safe, their site doesn't have the certificate, it look not a bit incompetent to me
there aren't better bank account for uk? you should try deutesch bank instead, they have zero fee on everything
for okcoin it's better to ask their support for those kind of thing
Who's they? HSBC or OKcoin?
HSBC is like one of the biggest banks in the world. And I'm not in the UK, I'm in Canada. I happen to have money on an HSBC account, I'd rather just directly wire it, but if it's too risky, I might have to go through the trouble of doing a bunch of things to get it somewhere else. Not a lot of options in Canada, at least ones that I'm aware of.
And pretty much all the canadian exchanges are dead.
