I know GBP is not supported by Binance so unable to transfer pounds there. I have crypto stuck there which I'm going to leave in. I also have GBPs. A Binance pop up said I can transfer these pounds into usdc but when I tried doing that, it wouldn't work. Is it possible to change my GBPs into usdc on Binance? It's not a lot, under £150.
I bank with Santander. I was previously told by them I couldn't purchase crypto (with my own money!) but on Reddit, there are people who have been able to purchase crypto with their Santander account.
If Binance is 'banned' in the UK, which platform is the best? Is SwissBorg good? Has anyone with a Santander account been able to purchase crypto on any other platform?

  • I can’t see any GBP trading pairs or a withdrawal option on Binance, I’d message support and see if they can suggest an option for you.

    You should be fine depositing £ to Swissborg, I’ve used it since 2018, I rate is as one of the best apps
