Title: Barclays to suspend accounts to money transfer companies to/from Somalia Post by: Inedible on June 27, 2013, 06:40:48 PM Barclays bank is to close down it's currency account with Dahabshiil, one of Somalia's biggest money transfer companies.
Other banks have already shut down facilities to Somalia. This sounds like it would be a great way to get Bitcoin adoption... ...if only there were a Somalian exchange denominated in Somalian Shillings. Edit: Additional information: Quote British-Somalis send up to £100m every year and for their relatives back home...
