thanks, that seems a bit of a clat. how do you convert usd to gbp, do you just send usd to your bank and incur a fee for them to exchange?
You just need to find a bank if you want to exchange USD to GBP. It's very easy and the exchange fee I think it'll not cost so much. Or you can find out another exchang place that have higher USD/GBP exchange rate than bank.There are 2 exchanges available for BTC/GBP, they're https://www.gdax.com/ and https://coinsbank.com/ . But I never using these exchange before so If I were you, I wouldn't use these exchange and I'll find out another way to convert my BTC to GBP. For me, I'll convert BTC to USD first then I'll convert USD to GBP after that, although with this way you'll have to pay exchange fee twice but it's much better than use an exchange that you don't really know about it.
I could recommend you GDAX. It's perfect for EU and SEPA transfers.
I've never had any complain from them and UK is still in EU for another year... at least
How about Coinsbank? As I can see on coinmarketcap Coinbanks exchange has higher trading volume of BTC/GBP pair than on GDAX.
