No I'm not using the debit card. I was just wondering what was the most cost effective and simple route to getting money from my bank to a bitcoin wallet.
BTC-e.com wire transfer.

What kind of fees do they ask for, for Debit transactions?

Thanks for the advice. I was just wondering on what the most cost effective way of converting money to BTC is without leaving your computer, since in the UK I am unsure (please correct me here) that it is possible to deposit cash in a physical location and convert it to BTC direct.
Ohhh so you're using the debit card they provide? That would be a good method. Just note the fees associated with the card.
Which can be difficult at times because they ask for proof of residency and don't accept black and white when that's the only proof I have access to.
okpay is rubbish at that. My proof of address had a small color logo on the top right and was black and white otherwise. okpay would reject it automatically... their color-detection algo is broken imho.
However, I loaded the pic in IrfanView, added a bit of color tint (red or blue? can't remember) in the color settings. It went through their automatic check and was soon after accepted.

Are you using OKPay for their Debit Card option? I wouldn't recommend it. Nice hefty fees. Wait for bitinstant debit card.
Other than that, I haven't heard of too many people using OKPay related to Bitcoin. What is your motive behind using them? If you are a merchant, I recommend BitPay.
