Seems like silly pr. I have negative experience with okpay and do not suggest to use their service for big amounts.
After a lost day trying to deposit by a cache in the office in Chiswik Park in London and contact24 they advised to use international wire transfer to their account in Doiche Bank somewhere in West Europe. I sent 50 pounds just to check from the account of my wife and now they are requiring our two photos with gov IDs and wallet ID in hand referring exactly to their bank. Will try chargeback but no trust to company who reckon that UK is not in SEPA.
Topic: OKPAY now (re)allowing GBP bank transfer to crypto exchanges? (Read 3779 times)
Which UK bank is it that doesnt have a problem with bitcoin services does anyone know?
Finally some good news !
I've been looking at using OKPay. I'm in the UK so not many good options for buying btc at market rates (e.g. bitstamp) as you get hammered by currency exchange and charges. What are the fees/exchange rates like with OKPay? Is it worth paying in GBP from a UK bank and withdrawing as btc?
Yes I just received the exact same email.
