Uk banks blocking bitcoin

I've really been enjoying little bigg so so convenient but uk banks have been putting blocks on buying crypto +bitcoin so I'm not able to buy what I want when I want. Someone pls help or if you have found the same thing, as I don't want to have to go back to street vendors in the peek of winter.
Thanks.

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.

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.

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

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?

+2

pollypuff20

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 👍
