Title: Mtgox / UK
Post by: Orinoko Flow on August 01, 2012, 07:28 pm
I emailed mtgox -  Here's the email and some questions at the bottom for you guys..   again, ::)

My Question to Mtgox-  Can i use mtgox if i live in the UK and if so will i be able to transfer british gbp from my bank account and convert them to bitcoins. Wasn't sure as i can't find any info on your website.
Many thanks

Answer-  Thank you for the email. If you have a bank account in UK, you can send GBP direct deposit IN GBP to our UK bank account, free of charges. You will receive an email when funds are credited. Usually it takes 1-3 business days for us to receive the funds and another business day before the bank releases the information to us and your account will be credited.

Please note that if you do not send GBP to this account, it will be converted to GBP and some (small) fees will apply.

Bank details:
Account Owner: TIBANNE LIMITED
Bank Name: BARCLAYS
Sort code: 20-35-90
Account number: 63508234
IBAN: GB37 BARC 2035 9063 5082 34
BIC: BARCGB22
Message: M#######X (IMPORTANT: this identifies you and will allow your funds to reach YOUR account)

Once the funds are added, you can start trading.

Questions  --
Someone told me UK bank transfers cannot be guaranteed with Mtgox is this true?
Does anyone on here use this method in the UK?

Thanks again guys just really dont want to mess with them cowboys at intersango!!

They didn't. I just sent the money via internet banking.
