Banks ban crypto
The banks have banned crypto. I can't buy anywhere. Where does this leave us?

Yeah looks like the banks just target some accounts , all these banks must have invested in crypto

I am reading of a work around using crypto.com and revolut. Ba*k transfer to Revolut and convert to XLM as it has minimal fees, then send from there to Crypto.com and convert to BTC. Not tried it yet but apparently works a dream. Still waiting to have my money released back to me from a blocked bin*nce transfer

Lol some Bigga will have a heart attack from reading this . No problem for me also tho . Can still purchase my Bitcoin and receive easy . And get sent over

Since I had a poor run off once with the Halifax/Lloyds anti fraud team and felt like I was questioned for just wanting to buy some BCs from Bittylicious I have dropped attempting to use my bank. Just use a pre-paid card or a mobile bank like Monzo. Revolut is very pro crypto too.

It isnt. Its the same as Paypal. All you can do is buy, sell or hold. You cannot send any crypto currency from either of these platforms in the uk

This says it was updated today 12/12:

Do you have a source that I can read, regarding this?
I know some banks have been restricting certain transaction for several months now, but that seems to be on a case by case basis and also varies depending on the exchange and bank you use. Are you saying all banks have banned all crypto?

I found an article on FT. https://www.ft.com/content/1ac2880f-a599-45aa-ba95-694a3b94f144

Some are indeed hardening their stance but that’s not the same as saying ‘banks ban crypto’ Lloyds Group has one of the hardest stances and no plastic will be accepted, but I can still just transfer, no problem.🤷♂️

I've used my Lloyds card for years buying bitcoin. No problems whatsoever. I only do one purchase a month though.

Wankers🙄…first time they blocked my card I ripped them a new one and they said they had cleared it. Next time it blocked they insisted it was Visa and not the bank and there was nothing they could do. Later they even blocked my transfer and it took two long conversations with the Fraud Dept, to get it cleared. I’ve been a Lloyds customer since God was a boy…
Such fun!
Such fun!

I feel that. I always feel lucky when I read these tales of woe about banks blocking crypto because apart from an ill advised use of coincorner at the beginning of my lb journey, it's been plain sailing for me.

I use lloyds also, never ran into problems yet luckily.
When you say you can just transfer may be a stupid question but wym? I usually just use coinbase, buy bitcoin with my card then send it to my exodus from coinbase.
how would the process differ? I've heard the paypal route also which would be my first go too.(using paypal to buy bitcoin instead)
some knowledge would be helpful if you don't mind polly! hearing too much of this shit now

Hey benjwby,
I just send ££ to my Bitpanda account, buy btc when I need some and send it here when I make purchases. All done in seconds…but I’ve had a few arguments with Lloyds when they stopped allowing credit or debit card payments, but transfers are instantaneous so 🤷♂️

yeah pretty much same way I do then apart from I use coinbase, must've just got it twisted.
oh no i see now you dont buy btc with bitpanda but send £ to it then buy the btc, i see how that would avoid cards now lmao
got there in the end.. a brilliant idea that should of been obvious
and damn, Lloyds would have a hard time getting hold of me anyways haha, I barely answer random numbers. Had no emails ect. and hope i don't lmao.
thanks for always helping polly

Cant send btc from paypal or revolut. Buy, sell or hold is all you can do. Until the end of Nov I could buy with my card via Coinbase, but CB have ripped me off and my bank stopped card transactions with crypto as of Dec 1st (Virgin Money). This method of purchase has been a laborious pain in the arse from the off but its getting ridiculous now. All I want to do is buy my medicine

oh man.. doesn't sound good:(, end of nov was when i last purchased too..
let's hope for the best..
let's hope for the best..

Not looking good for next year no. Not for buying with Crypto anyway, which is fine as I've zero interest in it other than buying smoke. Something has to give somewhere. I'm hoping legit sites like this and their legalities will change

Do it they are fair and straight forward to somebody who used to be with Halifax bit of a piss take waiting for my wages during night at desperate times lol Lloyds I hear was faster process so since then stuck with Lloyds. Just a guess but don't suppose you maybe have an email saying you just need some identification sent to your ideal crypto machine? I had to send some I'd to continue purchasing couple months back if I didn't do this I could not purchase . Just check any emails in case you have this or any of you check to see if an email saying just need some I'd to confirm who you are . I was confused for a while until I seen the email.

No I'm verified and thats not the issue. Thanks though. Just the banks I'm with I'm afraid. Each transfer has been returned

Its no use saying you can still transfer with a shrug. Good for you. But if this isnt paid attention to then no one is buying or selling anything on any crypto based market anywhere. Lloyds group has anything but the hardest stance. As it appears, Santander has clamped down completely, with Virgin not far behind....

I just sent a couple of quid to coinbase to check this went through fine with Santander they clamped ages ago you need to delete the app and go through the main website for whatever reason this works give it a go. This thread is going to worry people unnecessarily i know it’s not the intention but this is not crypto doomsday where there’s a will there’s always a way no need for anyone to panic

That may have worked for you but as ive stated already, all three of my banks have banned any and all crypto transactions. Coinbase ripped me off 300 dollars too which I'm still trying to chase up. Crypto is a disaster and the powers behind it need regulating or it will forever be an unstable and complicated risk. It's not about panic it's about reality, and its going to get worse. I'm not here to argue so it's cool, just conversation about this issue, as it is a valid one that no one seems to bothered about. All I'm getting is "well it worked for me" which is all very well, but it's going to get much harder next year. If you did that type of transaction from Santander then well done, you won't be able to next year. That's just a fact I'm afraid

I was only suggesting it incase you hadn’t tried it A lot of people just use the app. Not here to argue either just trying to help and point out there will be ways round it. Other people have given you good options to try also new bank accounts you could open etc. No harm having a convo just thought the title was a litle dramatic that’s all. Anyway hope you get it sorted ✌️

Thankyou. Aye I wish I'd worded it slightly different. Banks banning crypto perhaps. Seems to be a bit of pot luck really. From what I read between here and Reddit lots of people are having issues, but many with the same banks having no issues at all. But aye. It seems chucking your money through a few more hoops between accounts in different entities is the way to go

Well very good you can Polly and thats great. Not all of us are with your bank though and its causing some of us major problems. As it seems LLoyds/Tsb are one of the only banks to still allow this, they will have to tow the line with the FCA next year same as everyone else. So again, where does this leave us?

Well you can read that link I sent you at the top of the page showing all the banks etc you can use…good place to start?🤷♂️
Doing a Chicken Little impression on here isn’t going to solve anything….just sayin’…
There are other clear web cannabis sites that use non crypto payments- maybe in time LB will have to follow?

Chicken little? Steady on. I suffer from severe anxiety and this is my medicine which is becoming increasingly harder to get. I read your misleading article yes, but am I about to change my entire banking system to buy my medicine here? Methinks nay. There's no need to be insulting. I havent had medicine for three days and I feel like shit. I'm perfectly entitled to my frustrations thanks

I don’t quite know what answer you are looking for?
There are still various ways to buy crypto and spend it here. How else can we help?

As my original question was, and with more and more baks becoming hostile to crypto, I was hoping for a sensible conversation on secure alternatives, which is why I asked where does this leave us? Meaning could LB go the legitimate payment way? Honestly, the vendor I use has some of the best hash I've ever come across, and I'm a veteran of 30 years! I'd be gutted to not give him my business, which I am trying to do today. Like I say, I've tried with three different ba*ks to ban transfer to Bina*ce today with all being returned. So, I'm glad it all works so smoothly for you. Alas this is not my experience so I'm just trying to discuss alternatives

If you want to effect change on LB you can always start an initiative:

I’m thinking it will be quicker to open a crypto friendly bank account personally but that’s up to you.
I’m sure other Biggas will share their methods.
Good luck👍

Santander and Virgin Money are big ones. Apparently Lloyd's Tsb are about the only ones not to have gone for it, but they will. Santander banning all crypto activity as of next year

I’m with Lloyds. Every time I try and buy the blue buy button doesn't work. I just keep pressing it. I’m just buying small amounts so it shouldnt be an issue. Maybe it is a software glitch.

No me neither. I've also lost 300 dollars to Coinbase, who denied me having any balance, despite me sensing screenshot of the balance in the app

for me it's putin i'd like to talk some sense while the weed's still in him

Jesus would be a good call, if he could do that thing with the wine then think of the stash!😵💫🥰

I have nothing to back up this up because I haven’t looked but a yoga teacher once told me that Jesus smoked weed and did yoga… a lot!

That’s if he is real ?
Now I’m not saying he is or isn’t and a firm believer that you do what you want as long as you don’t impose your beliefs what ever they may be on me.
but I just find it wired how in the Middle East that Jesus had mates called Mathew, Mark, luke and John ?????

I have no doubt that Jesus was a real person and have read a number of good books on the subject. My favourite is ‘Holy Blood & The Holy Grail’ which examines the theory that Jesus was actually high born, had a real if tenuous claim to be King of the Jews and that this together with his non stop preaching is what pissed the Romans off. He actually married Mary Magdelane at the wedding at Cana (as a lowly carpenter’s son he would not have been invited to what was a society wedding) and because the Romans wanted rid of him his followers negotiated with Pontius to ‘disappear’ him rather than see him imprisoned and they did rather a good job of this! They cut him from the cross, hid him a got him out of there in what would become to be known as the ‘resurrection’.
He died not long after in Europe, but Magdelane was pregnant and there became a huge mission to protect his bloodline. The holy grail was in fact a symbol for her womb. She bore his child and died in France. The knights Templar have protected the bloodline and it’s believed his descendants are alive today.
Nice! 🥰🥰

Jesus was irrefutable as a real living person, Christians believe he was the son of God. Thats what their faith boils down to, you believe he could perform miracles or you dont, however Christ existed as a mortal being. Whether he rose from the dead etc is where faith derives, you believe or you dont.

Inglis83 that’s your prerogative and that’s my whole point wherever I agree or disagree is irrelevant to anyones opinion.

Me to man ✌️💨 honestly didn’t pick Jesus to spark a debate just thought why not he’s caused a pretty big stir real or not 😂

I'm 50/50 on whether that last point was tongue in cheek, but just in case it wasn't, the names of the Apostles are Anglicised from Aramaic (via Hebrew and Greek).

Hey dude.. I mean Jesus is a historical figure not just religious so as real as Henry the 8th or Julius Caesar.
Who knows what names they had in the Middle East thousands of years ago. The bible could be a fairy tale but there is a lot of evidence to suggest Jesus was a real person
That being said I think a lot of history is bolox so who knows really but it’s as good an answer as any not sure why your picking on me 😂
I’m spiritual but not Christian or religious so not imposing any beliefs on anyone

Bevbevan1 that’s my point.
Anyone can and will believe what they want because that’s up to them. Wherever that be Christian, Muslim, Jedi or spiritual fair play. As long as your happy 😆 that’s the main thing.
Hope your good man

I agree I just thought Jesus was a funny answer and if I met him then I would get to find out some secrets 😉

Didn't murder anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't rob anybody, didn't beat anybody, didn't lose – hmm – one fucking job, laughed my ass off, and went about my day. Sorry. Now, where's my commercial?

I used to walk about on Hampstead Heath at night sometimes, not because I am gay, but because I hoped to bump into George Michael cruising so that I could have a spliff with him.

Neither are sensemilla;)
Sensi is short for Cannabis sinsemilla (Spanish pronunciation: [sinseˈmiʝa]) also known as sensimilla, sinse or sensi (can be translated into English as seedless cannabis) is the female Cannabis plant that has not been fertilized and therefore does not develop seeds, increasing the density of cannabinoids and terpenes.
So it’s you who has been ‘at it’. ;)

Spanish/English translation
Sin = without
Semilla = Seed
Sinsemilla = without seed
The word 'sinsemilla' is Mexican Spanish meaning literally 'without seed' and was originally used to describe a strain from Oaxaca, Mexico later adopted into Jamaican patois to describe their high strength domestic weed, incorrectly shortened to "sensi'. The weed shown in the picture is Laotian weed pressed into 100g bars - it is mostly seedless but cannot correctly be described as 'sensi' either from a literal perspective or a traditional one.

Vendors with NDD/Weekend Delivery
As title suggests, a reliable UK based vendor with NDD/Weekend Delivery available? And no not PISTACH. Been let down by them so won't be returning.

Free special Gauranteed NDD by 1pm but Saturday about 90% land. JJ & DGT

I live in the Highlands in Scotland and I'm as remote as it gets. With DGT if my order is in before one the postie hands it over by 11am the next day. Even with the weather and the strikes, next day every time. Four orders with this guy and my orders are not just on time with excellent stealth, but are always a little bit overweight too. Incredible service. Can't go wrong with DGT

I think during the current times, you have to take any NDD with RM with a pinch of salt. 2 days isn't bad.

It's not the fact it's a day or two wait, it's the fact it wasn't despatched nor was I notified until it was too late. I could have purchased elsewhere but they dragged out replying all day until I had no time to re order from another vendor. Should have stuck with DIUK like usual.

I buy an Oz for myself a month, I don't have enough spare income to throw away $500+ a month on re-ordering because I've been let down, so now I'm out of pocket and product until a refund is made, If that's even possible. I'm not after sympathy, I'm just explaining my personal circumstances so you can try to see why I'm a bit irritated..

NDD, (special delivery + 1pm guarantee tracked) and tracking given same day always :) Also great variety and prices and 2pm cut off time for same day dispatch !

Do Friday special delivery NDD.
And send tracking information so you can track it too👍
And send tracking information so you can track it too👍

Its well worth mentioning to that if I order with Canadian imports at around 11am they post it the same day and Mr Postman comes my way at 9am the next morning :) I've noticed a few other vendors with NDD don't usually post it the same day the order is made.

If youre getting NDD and it comes with tracking why shouldnt the buyer know when the parcel is inbound. We always send tracking with NDD and as it should be. Buyers would be willing to pay for that service but for ease of transaction we feel like its best to provide it for free.. after all, vendors should be making profit anyways.

So now no replies at all, no refund, seems a bit shit from a vendor I believed to be reliable in the past.

How am I supposed to try you out when PISTACH has my monthly budget that they're not refunding all tucked away in their profits?

Funds don’t get released to vendors for 16 days so it’s with escrow. I agree that bad comms is totally frustrating.🤬
The Dispute button appears on your order page after 9 days, so dispute and get your coin returned. Doesn’t help you right now, I get that.
If I was you I would split that monthly order into bi-monthly halves and if you are going to place it regularly with the same one or two vendors request a custom order with a reasonable discount…might work👍🤞

Thankyou for the advice Polly. If a reliable vendor would be willing to do that I'd probably use them Exclusively, I'm loyal when looked after!

Cool👍
As an example, have you looked at Canadian Imports menu? They include free NDD on all orders and are great people to chat to so I’m sure they would be happy to discuss your needs & desires!
Good luck🤞

I've taken your advice, Spoke to Canadian Imports, who was extremely helpful and accommodating. And have now placed an order with them.

Yeah agreed Polly :) Canadian I. are really great vendors..quality weed,ndd and the neatest stealth packing Ive had on LB so far! :)....Terrific guys!

I haven't had the pleasure in dealing with them yet. I've only really used DIUK, The Green Team and PISTACH as my main go to vendors in the past.

Dr Greenthumb too man. Free NDD and never been let down. I highly recommend the cookie dough hash 👌

What the fucks going on here with Strainsbury's & Tescrows,are you 2 brother's/mates fell out,the biggy Aldi/Lidl brother's I think

Haha! Yes,now I'm just now waiting for "Weedrose" or "Marks & Strainsers" to appear on LB & we will have a full house! lol!

Good stuff I'll give you a try at some point Tescrows,seems to be a lot of similar hash floating about now,medical stamp, London pound cake, bitcoin stamp for example, that's another reason thought you and Strainsbury's had a family fallout,menu very similar

Blockchain app issues
Anyone had issues with this app? When i try to buy bitcoin and hit the buy button it does nothing and it has been like this for days. I wanna top up for christmas but will be difficult with just a few quid in there.

Oh! Thats LB fucked then. That will be my last purchase here. What a shame. Didnt like Dispen serooooo so much.

I used to use coinmama but now my bank blocks it but I used https://buy.bitcoin.com/btc/ to order last night there are fees but I never had to upload ID and instead of sending it to my wallet first I just put the address of the LB order and it was done in half an hour. Hope this helps.

This though, is how many people will get ripped off. You cant just send you money to a random place that doesnt take your ID? Who am I to know who you are? With no security or accreditation that could so easily be a site youve thrown up to rip people off. No offence, but you see what im saying
