How to buy bitcoin from SEB Banka card
«SEB Banka» is one of the largest commercial banks on the Latvia territory, the main activity of which is a creation of the comfortable lending programs, asset management and the development of Internet banking.
To open an account, the bank needs each client associated with the digital assets to have the dependable partners on the territory of Latvia. The Baltic states don’t have any clear instructions on how to work with the cryptocurrency now, but «SEB Banka» doesn’t interfere with the transactions, in order to keep relations with the foreign partners. Applications for opening a new account are considered individually — «SEB Banka» traditionally gives preference to clients whose field of activity corresponds to the general strategy of the bank. For work «SEB Banka» provides its clients with cards of the largest payment system Visa. Bank employees will help to choose a card with the most favorable conditions, based on the interests of each client.
Almost all credit and debit cards that are popular in Europe are accepted for payment. Most often these are Visa and Mastercard. However, any world-standard cards available in the territory of Latvia are suitable for purchase through Itez.
Itez is an instant bitcoin purchase resource. Itez is a certified operator holding a license to sell and store cryptocurrencies of a financial regulator from Estonia. What does this give to customers?
First of all it is safety, since the operator is fully responsible for the risks. He conducts a compliance check, provides cryptocurrency on time and is always in touch with customers, if the need arises. Secondly, it`s efficient. The average time for receiving bitcoin to a client's account is a quarter of an hour. For comparison, let's take similar services Indacoin and MoonPay: when working with them, the time it takes for bitcoin to be credited to the client's electronic wallet will take for about an hour - it depends on how busy the network is. Thirdly, the service offers to customers a favorable exchange rate. Rate changes occur in accordance with the liquidity provider's information, therefore, the BTC value on the Itez website is as close as possible to the market value. The site has no hidden fees as the final BTC value is displayed instantly. If the purchase price does not exceed € 300, then the buyer does not need verification.
In order to buy bitcoin, it is not necessary to register on the Itez website. In a handy calculator, you can quickly calculate the cost of BTC based on the amount you plan to use for payment. The smallest purchase amount in dollar terms is 30 USD. By the way, the same applies to the euro - the starting purchase threshold starts at €30. Well, in our instructions, as promised, we will go through all the stages of purchase BTC for dollars step by step.
After converting the currency to BTC, you will see the final result in the "You Get" field and on the "Buy" button. Click the button and enter your email address in the following window.
Verify your email with a 6-digit code sent to the previously indicated e-mail and click the "Verify" button.
Specify the purchase amount in the Itez dialog box. Copy the recipient address - your bitcoin wallet - from the “Accept” section.
Important: you should not manually copy the bitcoin wallet address. The blockchain system does not give any information about bitcoin addresses problems, and if an error occurs during manual entry, all the buyer's funds may be lost.

Important: the transaction will wait for confirmations for time. After six network confirmations, bitcoin will be on your e-wallet; when buying with Itez it will take for about 15 minutes. This is a very good speed for the Bitcoin network since transactions in the most popular blockchain network are somewhat slower than in other networks due to its properties and high load.
The transaction will first wait for confirmations from the blockchain network.
After six confirmations, the BTC networks will be yours for good; when buying from Itez, this will happen on average within 15 minutes.
This is a very good indicator for the Bitcoin network, since transactions are somewhat slower in the most popular blockchain network than in other networks, due to its design features and high workload.
