Is it possible to open a Luno account and deposit money from a UK account?
I registered with Luno but it seems it only sticks to the South African site and will only let me link with ZA banks.

Or should I be depositing from elsewhere from a UK account to buy bitcoin?

I'm afraid not, if you're in the UK you'll need to sign up for an account in the UK.
ID verification needs to be done from the country you're in, and bank deposits can only be done via a bank account in the country, in Rands.

So even though I live in South Africa (SA passport) but have a UK passport too, and lived over there for many years, I can't use the money I have over there to open a Luno account?
Just want to be sure.

You can submit your SA passport and we can verify you to Level 2, but deposits still won't work from a UK bank account, or any bank account outside of South Africa.

If you have a bank account in South Africa and valid ID proof you can be verified.

With Standard Bank, you can open a UK bank account.

Also if you are with Investec.

From what I read he has UK bank accounts.
@Lunomoney, can't he just set up a separate UK based account using his UK passport and proof of residence then?
 
Bitcoin is now on its way to the 30,000 range. This is still too high. I suspect it will level out, go into a climb and shortly after tumble to the 18,000 range. Hopefully it will stable out there, as that is more in line with its real value.

How did you calculate its 'real' value?
 
Bought a little bit at 50k, payday hopefully tomorrow and will wait to see if it drops more.

What you guys waiting to buy at ?

if any of you can offer advice>>this from fedex.....If you are shipping electronic goods and computer parts for personal use or resale you need a test report from the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). If the Letter of Authority is not available within five days of the goods arrival, the shipment will be confiscated.:wtf:

You're asking in the wrong place. Start a thread or ask in a thread about postage, fedex etc.
