Transferwise GBP to BTC?

[Grahams]

Hey,

Any ideas on how to move funds from Transferwise GBP to BTC?

If you managed to open TW account you can most probably open epayments personal account (takes about 1 day to get verified).
Then TW -> EPA -> DSX -> BTC wallet.

Move the funds from TW to ePayments or open an AdvCash account it's even faster, ePayments can be tricky in some cases.

Thanks both. I have an AdvCash account however i couldn't see how you receive funds from transferwise in GBP.

AdvCash allows you to deposit using SEPA (in EUR!!!) from another account in your name (should work for SEPA from TW) - you just have to convert (and pay fee) from GBP to EUR on TW

Thanks Void. Makes sense. I'm not verified EUR with TW, as they need selfie etc which i can't do. I only have GBP verified. Maybe an exchange like changex/paxful might work...

I don't think you need some additional verification to add EUR balance and IBAN... can't test it but seems weird to me.

You should be able to open a TW account from anywhere in the world plus the epayment account can be opened virtual. You just have to give it a shot. I doubt you will have any issues with a borderless account. However do not use TW with Cryptocurrency or they will close the account Just use TW to transfer the money in whatever currency you want then send it to your Advcard account and then to Cryptocurrency.

Does AdvCash provide a personal IBAN?

no

Did you already transfer from TW to AdvCash? I can't see a "reference" field when I try to set a new recipient

 

[void]

I can't see a "reference" field when I try to set a new recipient

that's because the reference is submitted in the last step before confirmation of the payment

About 6 months ago when I tried to make a transfer from TW to Advcash I couldn’t because their system blocked automatically the transfer.

Instead of using Transferwise to send money to Advcash do use;
Transferwise to epayment then from epayment to Advcash final use Advcash to purchase Cryptocurrency

 

[void]

then from epayment to Advcash final use Advcash to purchase Cryptocurrency

as already posted above - there is not need to add advcash to the chain since epayments' exchange DSX will serve just fine

Would like to ask, can i transfer it this way ? TW -> DSX -> BTC wallet.

Why is EPA is needed ?

I've tried to transfer from Wirex -> Kraken but it was blocked because the IBAN bank doesnt like Crypto Exchanges
I've tried to Transfer from Monese -> Kraken. The transfer was rejected with the same resason.

No Transferwise does not deal with BTC or any connection therefore best to use the previous method stated above. Which is Transferwise to epayment then DSX
