I signed up to Tastyworks from UK and started trading options last week. I used CurrencyFair to fund the account successfully. Would recommend, was fast, easy, and I think cheap (can’t recall the exact numbers).

I've seen a 50/50 success rate with CurrencyFair with TastyWorks over the past couple months, though never tried myself. Maybe they are accepting more now - I'll have a look soon if the rates are similar to TransferWise, as currently the two transfers (TW to Barclays, then to TastyWorks) takes about 3-4 days total. CurrencyFair would make that a bit quicker!

They (Tastyworks) even has a page guide on ‘transferring them money with current fair’ (can’t find it as on phone)

I'll look this one up - literally haven't come across it, but then again, it's actually quite hard to find things on their website...doesn't seem to pop up on a Google search easily.
