Received an email from coinbase saying they are shutting down CAD currency at the end of the month...

''...Coinbase will no longer be able to support Canadian EFT transfers, Interac transfers, or the storage of customer CAD on Coinbase.

All customer CAD stored with Coinbase MUST be withdrawn off site or converted to digital currency by July 29th.''

Any other options for Canadians??

It looks like they are still working on options for Canadians...

Notice: Support for Canadian payment methods

Jul 07, 2016


As of August 1, Coinbase’s Canadian payments provider, Vogogo, will be shutting down its payment processing business. When this occurs, Coinbase will no longer be able to support Canadian EFT transfers, Interac transfers, or the storage of customer CAD on Coinbase.

All customer CAD stored with Coinbase MUST be converted to digital currency or withdrawn by July 29th.

If you hold CAD in your Coinbase account, you must liquidate your CAD holdings before July 29th by either:

• creating a withdrawal to your linked bank account or
• exchanging stored CAD for digital currency.

If you are unable to withdraw or exchange your CAD before July 29th, Coinbase will suspend your account and significant fees will be incurred for CAD withdrawals.

We are disappointed to lose the ability to offer these payment methods for our Canadian customers and hope to provide additional payment methods in the future. We appreciate your support during this change.

I use quadrigacx, they have interac and email transfers. It is an exchange also if you are interested in other currencies

[thespeculator]

If you live near Vancouver they even have a cash option at their office

Just use Quadriga there is no alternative. No other Canadian exchange has the volume that Quadriga offers, not to mention the variety in deposit methods. Only other real alternative is mycelium local trader or localbitcoins.
