Topic: Can my TSB bank account be closed for trading bitcoins? - page 2. (Read 4457 times)
UK banks are a major pain in the arse, they always were back when i played online poker professionally and made "gambling cash outs" and still to this day can be funny. The rest of UK is very accepting of bitcoin.
UK banks are fast becoming a serious menace to btc
They are dinosaurs that are gonna get it between the eyes one way or the other

Make an anonymous phone call to the bank and ask them. I know that many banks don't like bitcoin, but thats neither here nor there. I've only heard them close accounts that buy/sell a lot of coin, but thats in the USA, not sure of Europe. but it wouldn't hurt to give them a call and see what they say.

Hi, my sisters TSB bank account was suspended for buying 2 btc worth a bit over £600. I asked her to buy it for me and I sent the money from my paypal (using my debit card) to her paypal and she withdrawed it to her bank account. I did this because I don't have online banking and the banks were closed at the time to make a cash deposit into her account. However, when buying 2 btc off a seller on localbitcoins her bank suspended her bank account and asked her to come in to one of the TSB branches with my statement showing them that I sent her a bit over £600 via PayPal. But they didn't accept the statement because it was printed off from a machine in branch and they wanted an official stamped one. So now I have to go to her bank with her and bring my stamped statement from my bank and a photo id (I'm under 18). But the question I want to ask is, will her bank account be closed for buying 2 btc? (the payment for the 2 btc was declined anyway by the bank, probably because she normally doesn't use that account much). Thanks
