Purchase bitcoin

[anonymous-user]

hi i want to purchase bitcoins in the most safest way. Tried a few but my bank stopped the transactions. Also a lot want bank statement and passport info, which i don't want to give out over the net.
any ideas?

A good exchange or broker will have KYC and AML systems in place. I would avoid those that don't. I haven't bought BTC in a while but I'd probably look at Coinfloor & Bitstamp.

I was going to start an account with coinfloor to start selling mine. Either that or kraken, although I think that's a polish exchange so there will be costs in converting to gbp.

You are right to worry about this. The better operations allow you to send these in encrypted form, although you'd need to know how to use pgp to encrypt your passport image. It's easy enough, just research it.
