List of crypto-friendly bank accounts

[aplnx]

LAST UPDATE: 19th May 2021

Hello! I decided to start this thread with an updated list of crypto friendly bank accounts. I will keep updating it according to the users reply. Please, feel free to contribute with updated information. I will edit this thread accordingly.

Thanks to the admins for allowing me editing this post.

Changes:
- WISE HQ is in UK.

Crypto-friendly bank definition:
I had interesting discussions with other members of this forum. So, the definition of crypto-friendly mentioned in this topic must be unequivocal. Thus, a crypto-friendly bank definition assumed here is one that which have no problems transferring to or receiving from crypto exchanges (i.e. coinbase, binance...). If you have a consultancy or e-commerce business, there is a good chance that an EMI will let you buy and sell crypto (a valid reason to do so, for example, if you do payroll in crypto).

The banks don't like to have clients whose sole business is crypto trading and, as a result, put them in compliance problems.

Thanks to @Syrobonkers for his contributions.

That's an awesome list, thank you very much.

Now I'm busy the next few hours‌ 😉

Great list. I suggest adding Wirex. They haven't ironed out the banking yet but they‌ offer a crypto friendly debit card to Parts of Asia, UK, EU.

Also crypto.com (formerly‍ Monaco) which looks like it onboards people in Asia as well as US, UK, CA,⁠ EU.

 

[SoNewToAllShit]

Is wirex still in business? only read troubles about them!

 

[Igemon]

Just a note.
"All individuals", "Everyone" and so on actually means "All residents of the‌ United States" 😉

 

[troubled soul]

Initially I also confuse. Then I realize that‍ most are only works with USA resident coo-:!ycoo-:!ycoo-:!y

 

[mike400]

Revolut is NOT crypto friendly... At least the last time I checked the weren't

 

[khinkali]

Yes I use it most days. Good website and app, cheap overseas debit card transactions‍ and ATM withdrawals.

Unfortunately it's largely crippled for UK users due to some FCA AML⁠ issues.

 

[aplnx]

I am checking this list going to the support of each service. It is difficult‌ to find a crypto friendly bank even in this list. This is primary a list‍ with EMIs only, not meaning that they are crypto-friendly. I will fix this list step⁠ by step. For while, most banks are replying unfavorable for dealing with crypto.

I think⁤ I will also remove all the personal entries, because I think the overall interest is⁣ with business accounts.

 

[aplnx]

I am not able to edit the first post. Anyone know how to do it?‌ I remember that there was a button for editing, but is is missing now.

 

[JohnLocke]

You should be able to do that now. It is normally⁠ limited to a few hours after posting.

Otherwise it is a good list but as⁤ people already noticed and mentioned, it requires editing.

 

[crypterion]

Hey, thank you!

I'm trying to set⁢ up a corporate crypto-friendly bank account for a company in Saint Vicent and it's a︀ pin in the a*s.

Your list will help me.

Thanks!

 

[aplnx]

Is this Wirex Business and crypto friendly?

 

[aplnx]

Thanks for your feedback!!

Please, share with us⁠ your history. What are the banks are you dealing with? Are you setting up business⁤ account? What is the negative reply from the support that highlight they are not crypto⁣ friendly?

 

[khinkali]

Crypto, yes. It‌ varies by jurisdiction but at best you can deposit and withdraw fiat and crypto, exchange‍ in-app at reasonable rates and the debit card is cheap to use.

Business accounts, I⁠ don't know I only have an account in my own name.

 

[Hegemon]

If crypto is deposited to these banks and converted to FIAT, would a traditional bank‌ accept large sums of money transferred to my account there, without much questions?
Or will‍ I get the same level of auditing that I would have had if I transferred⁠ from Kraken directly to my account at that traditional bank?

 

[troubled soul]

Dear, You can use multiple accounts and Exchange for Crypto to Fiat solution.

 

[aplnx]

This is the way to go. Use business bank account to send‍ and receive money from exchanges. Also, remember to not use it as crypto trading as⁠ the sole business (i.e. Don't act like a exchange business for your clients).

 

[JohnLocke]

maybe you should list a few of the one you have in‍ mind, that would avoid further confusion.

you can do it all on kraken with a⁢ business acount, why would your method be better?

 

[troubled soul]

Sure Why not,
