TSB Bank is planning to ban cryptocurrency transactions

Updated: Feb 4, 2025

Published: Jun 21, 2021

UK banking institution TSB plans to ban the purchase of cryptocurrencies. The reason for the ban is that customers are reporting an alarming number of fraudulent transactions involving cryptocurrency exchanges. As stated by The Times, the bank will introduce a ban in the coming weeks. This action may leave over five million customers without access to cryptocurrency exchanges.

According to TSB statistics, one in eight cryptocurrency purchases ends in fraudulent activity. Criminals use these platforms to deceive customers and take control of their accounts, stealing their funds.

The bank blames Binance to be a hub for fraudulent activities

The bank said about two-thirds of all crypto scams that hit its customers were linked to the Binance platform, with 849 cases of customers losing money to scammers with Binance accounts in a single month between March 15 and April 15. However, Binance denied those claims. A spokesperson for the exchange stated that the platform is "very serious" when it comes to dealing with this type of action. The crypto exchange Kraken also denied the claims the TSB made in its report, stating that it is not true that Kraken does not respond to calls for assistance on incidents of fraud.

TSB is the latest bank to announce some sort of measure against cryptocurrency trading. In June, Barclays, Monzo and Starling, as well as other UK banks, blocked cryptocurrency purchases for similar reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
