Title: Mining Business Bank Account? Post by: betajuice on December 02, 2019, 03:03:16 AM What USA banks allow bitcoin mining business accounts? Most major banks have specific provisions "no virtual currency business accounts"? I'd like to have a reliable bank account and having trouble finding a bank.

They are actually the ones issuing the BitPay Visa. -Dave Title: Re: Mining Business Bank Account?

Take a look at this https://www.valuewalk.com/2019/03/most-bitcoin-friendly-banks-us/ You might find a bank from the above list that supports mining if you generally mining Bitcoin then the list above is what you are looking for.

Post by: NotFuzzyWarm on December 04, 2019, 08:28:48 PM @Harlot, the problem is that several major banks in the US such as Citbank, Wells-Fargo, etc. will not work with a business that is involved in any way with crypto. Private accounts they don't seem to care about.

I don't see any direct relation on a mining business having problems having their own bank accounts? If you open up a normal account for your business and your transactions are only from liquidating your crypto to fiat then I don't think they will flag this for any kind of restriction especially if it's just an inflow of USD. Or if you just want to have a peace of mind I think what the previous members have suggested are good banks as well, at least you have that option. wells fargo questioned me about depositing money from coinbase. but that was years ago.

This is a problem specifically with business accounts, which I have found out. I have for many years deposited and bought thru a major bank (one of Chase, Citi, BoA, etc) on a personal account, no questions asked, no problem, but when trying to open a business account, almost every major bank has a specific restriction saying "no business accounts related to crypto". Yes it is that broad, go ahead and try it and see. I am hoping there is some smaller or just online/remote bank that will allow a crypto-related business account, just wondering if anyone knows.

https://www.mobilepaymentstoday.com/news/cashaa-metropolitan-commercial-bank-partner-on-us-dollar-accounts-for-crytpo-related-business/ They do support and understand crypto. A business you can't open an account online , I don't know many banks that will let you open a business account online, you have to talk to them to open the account . But, once you do open it you can do everything online. -Dave |
