Title: Calling all Kiwis - any interest to buy Bitcoins via bank deposit in NZ?
Post by: vlad1m1r on August 12, 2012, 03:01 pm
Dear all,

To date I've had nine customers from New Zealand using my cash in the mail service to buy their Bitcoins.

It's not difficult to see why considering the local exchange BitNZ requires someone to upload ID documents before accepting bank transfer (which is itself traceable) to sell you your coins.

Over the past six weeks I've been looking into opening an account with a bank in New Zealand which will allow you to deposit cash and then receive your BTC 1 or 2 days later. You'd still need to go into the bank to do so but the advantage is that you won't need to submit ID documents or use your own bank accounts to get your coins. The account will be in the name of an individual, not a business so it will also not look suspicious.

One or two of you may be thinking "Strewth, this sounds familiar!" and you'd be right - I did set up a bank account for this purpose but the bank in question had very strict compliance procedures and asked one or two of my clients nosy questions. I have since found a bank which has a more relaxed attitude towards taking cash deposits. Before I go ahead and set things up and link it to the local Bitcoin exchange, I just wanted to see what level of interest there'd be in this?

I was thinking of charging a flat fee of 10% commission on deposits of up to NZD 2000, and 5% for amounts above this, with a minimum order amount of NZD 100 worth of Bitcoins.

All thoughts are welcome,

V.
