Not true. With Halifax, I had transferred money to BTC-E through OKPAY.
However with HSBC, I hadn't, I had only sold / bought a few times on localbitcoins, direct to other user's bank accounts. Never any reference to Bitcoin.
Could you please explain "transferred money to BTC-E through OKPAY." ?
Well, I sent money via BACS to OKPay (actually the same company as BTC-E I think).
From OKPay I transferred the money to BTC-E and spent it on BTC.
