Would you care to elaborate ? As I know there in US is only one bank who serves a few bitcoin businesses. The rest of the businesses are dead because no bank would accept them. Typical American-style monopoly. |

Typical American-style monopoly. It used to be the IAFCU before regulations forced them to close down their Bitcoin business accounts... which bank serves those Bitcoin businesses now? Citi? |

I too would like to know the name of a U.S. bank or credit union that tolerates bitcoins. Definitely not Citi. they froze my account and siezed my funds because someone whispered the word "bitcoin". |

Definitely not Bank of America - they are confirmed to have halted ACH transfers to at least one bitcoin related business. How long before they start sharing their SSN 'black lists'? - This doesn't bode well for Coinbase. |

I was talking about Silicon Valley Bank
Silicon Valley Bank is one of the few banks amenable to Bitcoin clients, according to industry sources, and the only major bank willing to speak on the record about the issue, but even they have pulled back. “We currently work with a couple bitcoin companies, providing deposit accounts,” says spokesperson Carrie Merritt. “Until regulatory guidance is clear on banking and payment processing for virtual currency companies, we are not adding new relationships in this sector to our client portfolio.” SOURCE: forbesThis is how monopoly is built. |

I have a real funny story about lbc and bofa. At one point I was careless with my info and someone who I did not know put money into my account via a ecash special operation in bofa dallas, and tried to reuse a receipt.
I spent hours with bofa trying to figure out how it came in and we couldn't id where from. So one of the bankers told me "merry christmas"... you know they aren't so bad if you know how to talk to them.
