Title: METRO Bank's Stance on Bitcoin
Post by: No_2 on March 26, 2015, 03:02:13 PM
Does anyone know METRO Bank's stance on bitcoin, if for example your business handles it or is running an exchange?

Can you please provide your sources of information if possible.

It's a new bank. They'll probably be desperate to keep their noses clean. No bank operates in a vacuum, especially not in the UK. If other banks put pressure on them they'll cave so I assume they'll be just as hopeless as all the others.

Intersango were using them back in the day but were shut down. I think that might be more to do with the owners using a personal account and lying.

Ah, thanks for this. I can add a lot to this thread. We've had two accounts closed so far in the UK :(.

Such an enlightened approach to dealing with emerging tech.
