Mt Gox has stopped taking UK deposits. Have to wait three weeks to validate transactions.
Mt.Gox Support, Oct 01 15:00 (JST): Hello,
It appears that Barclays has closed our account. Please refer to the following announcement below. However, once we get our monthly statement, we will be able to locate your deposit and credit your funds. We expect to receive the bank statement in the mail in two weeks. Thank you once again for your patience in the process.
It is with regret that we have to inform our British users that you will no longer be able to deposit British Pounds (GBP) to our Barclays bank account from now on as Barclays has closed our account as of September 24, 2012. While we have not yet been formerly contacted by Barclays or any of its representatives, we are as for today, unable to accept any GBP deposits into our Barclays account. Rest assure that we are doing our best to get to the bottom of this situation as well as being able to resolve this matter one way or another with Barclays or via other British and/ or European Banks.
On Behalf of the entire Mt.Gox team, please accept our apologizes for any inconvenience this temporary suspension of GBP deposits may have caused.
Thanks,
MtGox.com Team
So that was the last bitcoin exchange that accepted fast transfer from a UK account. Using SEPA is too expensive. What do I do now? Is there anyone here willing to accept a fast transfer of GBP for bitcoins?
