Lots of issues with Transferwise. I got to the payment stage where I had the Bank Transfer and the Debit card options. However I could not complete either. My card is Visa but not verified so I was getting errors and it turns out in order to send money to a new payee I need a PINsentry device which is going to take 7 days to arrive lol.
Just get verified by visa, you can do it in your online banking. Having said this, if you still wanna buy Bitcoins in the UK, directly without intermediators on ebay or other middle men (with huge fees) is difficult, I made this guide with an easy process: http://howtogetbitcoinsuk.blogspot.co.uk

Hope it helps.
I hope so too. Many thanks for taking the time to do this.
The UK situation really sucks! Anyone would think that UK banks don't want us to use digital currency. Wait? What? They don't...? I wonder why? What puzzles me is why other companies do not set up shop in the UK to enable the easy purchase of Bitcoins? Is our goverment/treasury somehow causing problems? I would have thought that being the only exchange in the UK would be quite lucrative no matter what the tax situation with respect to Her Majesty's Goverment is.
