In my country the most popular digital currency bitcoin is not acceptable in the bank. So, the acceptance of verge is very far in our country.
This is true for the most of other countries too. So calling your local bank and asking whether they are accepting Verge would be a bit ridiculous imo. I'm not trying to say that XVG is sh*tcoin, because it's definitely not, but the title of the article stating that "The Banks have Said Yes to Verge" looks clickbaity to me. Verge still hasn't shown a significant rise in price since the "news", but we have to admit that this coin is taken seriously by most part of the prominent exchanges and that it's acceptance as a payment option is on the rise (check out the recent decision of Pornhub to accept Verge cryptocurrency).
