This is all it says about MetroBank

MetroBank: Closed Intersango Account.

If you find out more please post it on that thread.

Ah, thanks for this. I can add a lot to this thread. We've had two accounts closed so far in the UK Sad.

Such an enlightened approach to dealing with emerging tech.

It's a new bank. They'll probably be desperate to keep their noses clean. No bank operates in a vacuum, especially not in the UK. If other banks put pressure on them they'll cave so I assume they'll be just as hopeless as all the others.

Intersango were using them back in the day but were shut down. I think that might be more to do with the owners using a personal account and lying.

Does anyone know METRO Bank's stance on bitcoin, if for example your business handles it or is running an exchange?

Can you please provide your sources of information if possible.
