Building society Nationwide is the latest banking entity to restrict customers’ ability to buy cryptocurrency in the UK, as it bans the use of a credit card to buy crypto and sets a $6,000 limit to any daily crypto purchases.
Nationwide works similar to a credit union in the US. As ລາຍງານ by Reuters, it set the £5,000 limit and credit card ban in response to growing regulatory concerns over the risks of buying crypto.
UK banks are changing crypto policy, too:
- Along with Nationwide, HSBC, Santander, Barclays, and Natwest all blocked card payments to Binance following financial regulator uncertainty towards the exchange.
- Santander ຈໍາກັດ payments to crypto exchanges at £1,000 per transaction and £3,000 for every 30 days.
- ທະນາຄານອອນໄລນ Starling banned all transactions towards crypto exchanges, while online banks Revolut ແລະ Monzo still maintain an open stance toward crypto.
