Sign up for the online bank Revolut and do it through there, UK Banks are Nazi cunts telling us what we can and cant spend our own money on.

I bank with nationwide but still pay the extra through revolut. My bestie actually works in money laundering for Nationwide and if you keep buying it, you will flag up as money laundering. Revolut have made me provide my personal details to buy the coin so I still use a wallet but don't buy direct with nationwide as its only a matter of time. I personally think you should be allowed to buy it, but I'm just sharing what I know

Nazi as in National Socialist yes. I don't share Farrage's weird world view BUT he doesn't advocate undemocratic methods (unlike Labour, SWP, Respect etc) so has the same rights to banking and free speech as the rest of us

“Nazis” lol 😉

I tried several times to pay through Revolut using bitcoin but it keeps 'failing' standard message says the reason is that if an account is 'flagged' it will not process .. argh .. I will keep trying .. it has been problematic before .. any advice welcome .. thanks

Create a new wallet and say its one of yours

If it says it's flagged on revolut then change wallets and it'll work again

I'm with Lloyd's and I do ok

Snap ! Lloyds all the way

Same as me until they blocked my card once I started using it more than once a week.

all I've been getting recently is card declines from them, then you gotta find another cryptosite and do all the 2FA super-passcoded bullshit all over again. tempted to ring them and just let them know everything is ok, got asked to call fraud line or something.

I was but after a while they blocked my card

Someone below mentioned Coinbase and Paypal earlier and I had to use that option today. Santander have blocked crypto but with Coinbase there is an option to change the way you pay as long as you have a paypal account linked to the Coinbase account. Only spelling this out as there must be others like me that can't be arsed with crypto but have no choice but to know how to use it

I use Scamtander and occasionally have to call them to verify the transaction but they always allow it. Aside from websites like LB i also buy Porsche parts from breakers in Germany and US who accept BTC only and those transactions can be 1000s, Scamtander are more likely to stop the smallers one on LB or Hydra, Wall St etc

I’m with Scamtander too and I’ve never had a problem. I’ve purchased crypto maybe 100+ times over the last few years. Small and large transactions.

Yep same, never any problems with Spamtander.

I transfer money straight from barclays to trust wallet.

A few of the big banks here in the UK are completely unfreindly to bitcoin and I've found Lloyds to be the worst.
for me then, I just opened a Monzo account and I've set up a standing order each month to shift my 'spending money' (£500) to Monzo as soon as I'm paid.
Monzo is completely crypto friendly, so you can buy the bitcoin you need with no issues from that account.
I used to regularly be locked out of my lloyds bank account and spend hours getting it unlocked, just cause I bought crypto. Now I use Monzo I've never had an issue.

I found the same. I got a monese account and have no problems now

don't even need to change banks just buy bitcoin with paypal instead I use coinbase and Lloyds but i could switch to paypal if this happens to me

no shit paypal is an option? I never noticed that

You can buy bitcoin with PayPal but you can't send it.

I buy into Coinbase via PayPal. The bank transaction shows PayPal and not Coinbase. Whether that helps or not I don’t know but I prefer it 🤷🏻‍♂️

thanks, I was playing with it last night as my bank has now cut out crypto. So you can buy/sell crypto in the UK but can't send it to anyone or buy anything with it. I was able to pay for LB products via Coinbase by using Paypal as the payment option, so no need to buy the citcoin in advance on paypal

yeah bro it's one of them hidden gem things, makes it alot easier not sure if u can still use paypal, but haven't tried as lloyds good w me

Don’t buy it direct from bank card just transfer what you need to a Coinbase account it’s an account number and sort code with your name on it then buy bit coin from that Coinbase account works for me everytime never any issues and hardley any fees few £ on like 200 change up

Hey buddy, I do this. But i worked something else out that saves any fees at all.
Buy usdc stablecoin with the fiat you transfer. No fee to buy, and you can then convert to bitcoin via exchange with no fees. You only end up paying the transaction fee. I don't know where else you can essentially buy bitcoin with zero fees!

This didn't work with Santander, they said if they can't verify the account then no bueno

A lot of these have changed now because they can't control what you spend your money on. Try again, a few months ago i had the same but bought with that same bank last month. But i'd probably go the revolut route like suckyourgill suggested.

Leaving whatever bank your with and telling them why may be the answer.Hit them where it hurts, right in the money

Open a pockit account, buy bitcoin with that.

The Marxist socialist are taking full control, moving in vast sways of new voters into foreign lands.

The new world order is happening right in front of us to protect a huge elite group of pedos.

Using divide and control tactics and working with a religion to help speed up the process.

Wake up.

Use Revolut.

I use Santander who have blocked me many times. The trick is the exchange you use. Uphold for example have a uk bank address set up in your name so you just transfer to that like any other account in your name. You can then convert GBP to whatever you like.

Never had a problem with natwest

im in the same boat my bank dosnt let me buy crypto even tho i was told on the phone today from the bank its not so i have tryed 3 diffrent sites and everyone the same no go

Lloyds kept blocking my card to Bitpanda (🍆) but transfers go through no problem, very fast, no charges👍…twats!

I am Lloyd's but I use coinbase. Linked my card up to it. Minimal fees. Works for me? Is this an OK way to do it?

I guess. I use bitpanda but have never linked a card to it. Direct transfer works best for me, is quick and incurs no fees to load wallet…

Sorry for silly question. But do you mean no fees, like to buy bitcoin or then send your bitcoin? All free?

Nah, unfortunately we all pay to send- that’s the miners blockchain fee!…it’s the big thing that has stopped btc being a true currency- who wants to pay a floating fee every time they buy something?! 🤔

Ah, sorry for the dumb question.+ thank you for your answer. I'm pretty much new to all this. Found this place start of May. So trying my best to make sure I'm not screwing it up somehow

No worries, I think everyone stresses with crypto to begin with! I used a couple of pretty horrible sites until settling on bitpanda. Once you’ve done a few transactions the mist clears and it’s plain sailing from then on. Enjoy LB 👍

Hi all 👍 i bank with Nationwide building society and use Bittylicious for bitcoin. Never had a problem in the 4 years ive been on here 100+ buys.. could possibly be Only a matter of time though unfortunately 😔
Like most things.has a knock on affect.hopefully nothing changes with nationwide 🥴
