@prophettx: thanks for elaborating. In fact we are NOT putting VAT on the bitcoins, only on the service charge. We will rewrite it to make that more clear.
As for the charge itself, we operate faster than those exchanges you mention in terms of time from money leaving your account to bitcoins in hand. Keep in mind normal international transfers cost money and take time, usually a couple of days. By using local bank transfers in Sweden we can minimize transfer cost and optimize delivery time. And that time advantage can count with bitcoins current market volatility. That is not to say we aren't sensitive to complaints and will monitor how receptive customers are to our fee structure.

@prophetx: the VAT is included in that 9%, so it's actually 7.2%. Legally we are required to add VAT, we'll rephrase that so its more clear. Having said that, what would be a percentage that would change your opinion on this?
it sounded like you were charging VAT on the price of BTC, not the service charge, if that is the case it should be rewritten.
but given that i can easily do a sepa transfer to btce or bitstamp, i do not understand why anyone would use your service at 9% when their trading fees are more like .5%

they take 9% fee and charge VAT... sweden definitely is not going to be on the bitcoin forefront...
@stekross: No, looking at the RSVP list there will be some women joining! Spots are running out though: http://www.meetup.com/Safello/events/135210812/

Hi there,
Frank Schuil here, CEO & Co-founder of Safello.
We will open soon @Roland68, but your sarcasm is appreciated and understood Our company has this week gotten approval from one of the largest banks in Sweden and so far there has not been any objection from Swedish FI (financial inspection).
Whether we can live up to our slogan we'll have to see, but we will do whatever we can to do so.
If any of you want to meet us, please come visit us at the meetup we're organizing in Stockholm together with Stockholm School of Economic sponsored by Stanford Alumni Club: http://www.meetup.com/safello/. We might be able to set up a livestream for the event as well, so we can take on questions through Twitter.
Kind regards,
Frank Schuil

If they are not open yet, how can they be the fastest?
Are you sure you are not advertising them? 
In a way I am, yes.Although I have nothing to gain from it, since I have nothing to do with them.

I got this link from a friend: https://safello.com/
Anyone know anything about them?
They seem to have office in Stockholm, Sweden.
