The company I want to buy does not take Mastercard credit card , only visa which I do not have.
They have given me 3 options.
1. International Bank wire transfer.
2. International Bank cashier's check.
3. Bit Coin Payment.
Which is the cheapest one please as I have no experience with any of these ?

You might as well chuck your money down the drain with any of those methods, none of which offer any consumer protection.0

Not even bitcoin ? There is a bit of a buzz about it.0

No protection.
What is buzz? It isn't protection. If you don't mind that, then just send a few pound notes in the mail.0 -
You've been a member of this site since 2010 and are still prepared to consider paying by those hopelessly unprotected methods...? Please don't!0

Yes and if I had invested a very small amount in Bitcoin in 2010 I would be a millionare now.
The company is overseas and only takes these payment methods so these are the only options. It's only for around £23 so not a huge risk.0 -

Do they accept Visa debit or PayPal?0

Pity you missed the boat then!
If you aren't bothered about losing £23 go right ahead.0 -
Can you buy a prepaid visa card and use this instead?
Most of the main supermarkets sell these now, in the gift cards section.0 -
I recently needed to purchase in Spain in euros and after registering with several money transfer companies I found that my own bank gave me the best and easiest deal0
