There are now four identified examples of this: two major national banks restricting the availability of international wires, and a small state bank and a credit union eliminating them altogether.

OK, that is starting to make my spidey senses tingle. Something is afoot.

FOX Business ‏@FoxBusiness 3m #JPMorgan denies new capital controls on accounts. From Emac's Bottom Line: http://fxn.ws/H0jmQl  $JPM

They deny it but also confirm the story. Some types of bank accounts will be limited.

HSBC too, I wonder who's next ?

JPMorgan gave the same reason as HSBC, to minimise risk.

Lets see if HSBC, one of the largest banks in the world also introduce the same change on their customers accounts outside the US.

After all the recent news about the NSA overreach I wouldn't be surprised if it's some kind of secret American court order behind this.

puahaha whaaaaaat? They're sending them to western union? Really?

That's ridiculous!
Anyone want to start calling random banks and asking them about their international wire policies to see if this is a trend or not?

WOW! Unbelievable... and also very good news for the bitcoin-based remittance startups

thats not all!


I have a friend that works at the US/CAD boarder

he got a memo about bitcoin

it said

"let the bitcoiners cross with wtv amount of bitcoin they like, their is no need to declare bitcoin holdings" ( or somthing to that effect )

thats right bitches, bitcoiners are getting special treatment  Cool

normally you can't move ANYTHING of value across the board with declaring it.

why is bitcoin special? because they realize they would not be able to enforce it if they tried? idk, all i know is Bitcoin is special!!!

 Cheesy

would be nice to get a real source for this info... not that its the most exciting news, but still would be nice to know i'm not giving out false infos
