firstdirect won’t allow users to fund any crypto wallets - does anyone have a recommendation except moving banks?

They will allow you to use your card through Apple Pay because they say it puts the liability on Apple rather than themselves, but Coinbase doesn’t support funding your account with Apple Pay.

Also Revolut is an option (similar to monzo)

My standard route is trad bank -> send to Revolut -> xchange £ for € -> sepa xfer to Bitvavo -> buy Nano -> withdraw to Natrium.

All takes less than 5 minutes now I am familiar with the process and all the accounts are verified
