Has BitStamp had been forced to change its banking partner against its will because of the European Banking Authority warning against dealing with bitcoin businesses?

Bitstamp recently tweeted to use their updated banking details.

The Wall Street Journal speculated Bitstamp's bank was spooked by the EU warning.

some investors were potentially worried that BitStamp had been forced to change its banking partner against its will. Slovenia is a euro-zone member country, so some may have speculated that its bank was spooked by the recent warning from the European Banking Authority, the euro-zone’s banking supervisory body, against dealing with bitcoin businesses.
