Since this thread is coming on to two years now and with all that has happened in Britain and the United Kingdom including Brexit
Is this even still in existence and have the rules in regards to using it must of changed completely.

Do you mean is Fidor bank still in existence? Yes. it started as a German bank, but now has a UK arm too. If you read the Kraken thread there are plenty of UK traders still using Fidor. Although the kraken seems to have a big backlog of support tickets I didn't read any complaints about Fidor bank itself.

Hello,
Can somebody tell me how this is working ? Assuming some people already have figor uk bank account , after that you open bitcoin.de account and then what needs to be done? Is there any cross-border transaction fees ? It would be so nice if somebody can explain, thanks

I don't know about transfers to bitcoin.de, but the Kraken exchange uses a Fidor bank account and can arrange fast transfers to other Fidor bank accounts. Although the first transaction can take a long time because it has to do extra checks, it says transactions after the first the are processed very quickly.

According to BiteMyShinyMetalAss they charge £2.5 for a SEPA transfer.

I'm a UK resident (have a visa and everything) but don't have a UK passport so fidor automatic authentication didn;t work. Hope they will approve it manually!

So after a few months. How is your relationship with Fidor? Have they not had a problem with your volume? Are they ok with you running a business through a personal account?

So anyone going to take me on up my 0.2 btc offer? Wink

Does it have to be a new account? I would transfer money from my german fidor account, if that's possible.

Sorry has to be new UK Fidor account as sending from an existing German Fidor account is no challenge Wink

The problem fidor bank is not for all country and i am not from UK.

Yes my offer is only aimed at UK traders I'm afraid!

Ok no problem maybe next time we can trade

If you're based in a Euro Country drop me a line as I can send and accept SEPA no problem. I only deal in trades over £2000 for SEPA though!

i am not based in a Euro country. i am sorry Sad

Cool, a shame about faster payments not being accepted. If they are accepted in the future this will be a plus as I know that Coinbase do accept faster payments, I wonder what the fees are if they are lower than this could be a winner for the UK.

Seems like a good bank and it is Bitcoin friendly BUT...

It is a German bank and now with UK branch or incorporated bank.

I just registered but cannot open an account as it requires UK residency.

Fidor is the first Bitcoin friendly UK bank!

It's a simple process to open an account, but takes a few days to fund as they are not part of the Faster payment system yet!

Open an account here:

Questions!

Who are Fidor and are they really a Bitcoin friendly bank?

Read the articles below and you will see they are pro bitcoin. I know a bank being pro bitcoin feels wrong at the deepest level, but I've got past that and so can you!
