Topic: Ulster Bank ROI just closed my account (Read 1613 times)
I would take that as a huge compliment. Rather akin to Jamie Dimon's "bitcoin is a terrible store of value" comment. Congratulations for having pissed off bankers so much that they want nothing more to do with you.

Bank are lame... but we need them 
This is the whole point of crypto. We don't need them.

No. We don't need them. There will be no need for 3rd party people if Bitcoin goes mainstream.

This is happening everywhere. Bank accounts linked with Bitcoin transactions are frequently being closed, and in some cases frozen.
An odd age we live in when a bank doesnt want your money
It is important to setup a network of cash exchanges and improve liquidity locally. I am already talking to other exchangers locally to get that done. They will not be able to stop us bitcoiners.
This would be great but local exchanges still need banks, also it's hard to gain trust on the market. Bitcoin attracts scammers.
Good luck setting up the local cash exchanges
Banks are useless. I don't get how a closed bank account is a problem in any way.
Ulster Bank ROI sent me a letter stating that I have sixty days to find myself another bank. They have closed my account, as well as my wife’s. I’m not going to open a new Irish bank account. I’m going to attempt to live with Bitcoin and cash exchanges only from now on.
The bank didn’t state a reason for my account being closed. I suspect it is because my only source of income seems to be monthly transfers from certain Slovenian company called Bitstamp.

Well at least they give u 60 days and not just freeze your bank with all the money in it..
That's horrible. I can't help to wonder about how many Bitcoins you have and your history With the coin. I can't believe the Bitcoin opportunity slip away. Life could have been so different

HSBC. Maybe.
The TOS states that they can do that with sixty days notice, and that’s what they did.

They can just close your account like that without any explanation?
