In terms of friendliness I guess we can say Canada but the main issue Leina is Banks So while the country might be friendly the issue is with the payment processors. (But you can also check bitlegal for more detailed info)

Just wanted to inform anyone looking Wells Fargo is hostile. I confirmed with a source working for Wells Fargo they see both personal and business accounts related to bitcoin to be high risk, and as such they will seperate themselves from these accounts. Meaning closure of accounts.

I was interested in opening a bank account in Latvia and many banks, including Rietumu Banka were interested in opening accounts with us until we mentioned that we accept Bitcoin. After mentioning "Bitcoin" all the banks rejected our applications without further information. Latvia and it's banks have become a Bitcoin hostile nation.

This guy says both the Halifax and HSBC banks closed his UK accounts for being involved in bitcoin. So last March: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=519601.0;topicseenAnd now, just gone to log into my HSBC account and found that I couldn't log in. I phoned them, and it's almost exactly the same story as Halifax. I never received a letter they apparently sent, but, she read it over the phone and it's almost exactly the same words, just something about not conducting my account within their terms and conditions. I barely use this HSBC account. I used it in the past to buy a load of computer components, and sell / buy a few times from LBC. Apparently the letter they sent was on the 25th November 14. Around that time, I hadn't used my account for quite a while. Since that date, I used it to sell and buy BTC about 4 times, not knowing the account was being closed. So, I can only imagine that they picked up on some transactions for BTC in the past, maybe people I transferred to or received from have since been investigated and with my account being 'linked' I am suspected too? It seems though that they don't have to tell my exactly WHY my account is being closed, just 'they don't want to do business with me'. I have another account with Santander, and have never used it for BTC sale / purchase. I probably never will. My questions now are: - Will I ever be able to get a mortgage or bank account now with HSBC (or Halifax)? - Am I black listed somewhere, if so, where? - Who is there I can complain to? - What if Santander do the same, and I can't get a bank account, how do I pay my mortgage, get paid my salary etc? Scary stuff how the banks are so in control of our lives and can cut us off from civilisation by closing our bank accounts.

Hopefully this wil change since they just invested millions into Coinbase. http://www.pymnts.com/news/2015/nyse-usaa-and-bbva-make-75m-coinbase-investment/BBVA Compass, and NYSE also, some pretty big financial companies, so hopefully threir investment departments will make a call down to their compliance and customer account teams letting them know were on the same side. EDIT: I did a transfer from USAA to Coinbase as a test 6 days ago, and it worked all good no blocks. Maybe they want you to use Coinbase lol

Useful information. Thank you
I had my HSBC uk account closed for Bitcoin related activity also. They did refuse to tell me their stance on Bitcoin when I asked them.

I am pretty sure that Bank of America is fine with BTC transactions going in and out of their personal checking accounts. You can create a separate account that will solely be used for BTC. Just make sure you have a sufficient amount of funds in their when you are trying to purchase BTC through Coinbase, Circle, or wherever...
wrong. If they find out you do bitcoin transactions they will close your account.
