ihave spent far too long on google trying to find a way to deposit from a uk account into bitfinex. hoping someone on here can help you can do it via coinbase, but the fees are crazy high. has anyone come across any methods? that are fast.
FAST FAST FAST, RIGHT NOW! Don't miss the boat! Once in a lifetime! P.S. Call BitFinex, on the phone? Fast?
Bitfinex is a dollar based exchange, so you have to open a dollar account at your bank, then you can do the wire transfer yourself if the currency account has online banking. If your bank does not have dollar based accounts then try citibank uk. I had no problems wiring money to bitstamp but got a nasty letter when wiring dollars to citibank. I had a problem getting my account verified at Bitfinex yesterday and am waiting for a reply to an email that may never come. There is a sterling bitcoin market at www.gdax.com but am having trouble getting my account verified here as well.
Is revolut a multi currency account or is it a gbp account with good exchange rates for foreign exchange transfers?
Both. You transfer from your UK bank acct to revolut. You then change it into euros at the interbank rate (up to 5k i think per month, they charge for more). The euros are now stored in your newly created euro account. You now transfer euros to coinbase.
