As of march, nationwide decided to join other banks in proving they can't be trusted by restricting their users on what they're permitted to spend their money on, namely the fact that trying to buy any form of crypto on an exchange results in a card decline.
The reasons given by nationwide is "to protect their customers". Very noble reasoning which I 100% believe.
Brits, what bank are you with that isn't trying to control your money, specifically with coinbase? I ask because I need an alternative to nationwide now, and the information out there regarding which banks are actively pro or anti crypto is quite conflicting.
While some don't seem to have made any bans, I'm concerned about wasting time by opening an account only for it to become worthless if that bank joins in on the banning 2 months later, for example.
Any recommendations?
