Maybe a stupid question? but i got sick of paying 15% rates to convert bitcoins through WU, Ukash etc. so i decided i was gonna try an figure out how to use intersango so i managed to transfer €10 through a european wire transfer through their polish bank.
After a few days my euro account appeared to be funded with €8.8100, i know i only put through €10 (as a test) but that still seems alot higher interest than the 0.65% they mention.
Can anyone help me out im just tryna find a cheap and safe way to buy BTC.
Thanks

0.65% is the trade fee.
When you add funds by SEPA transfer, Intersango charges a fixed fee of 5PLN (1.2€).
Some exchangers don't charge fees to add or withdraw funds, but they require you to upload ID documents first.
You can also use bitcoin.de or bitmarket.eu. On those sites you don't have to deposit money, you pay the seller directly but they provide an escrow service. The rates are usually a bit higher though.
