Starling bans deposits to cryptocurrency exchanges
Financial institutions are warming up to cryptocurrencies. However, not all of them are comfortable doing business with cryptocurrency companies. UK’s Starling bank has reportedly banned its users from depositing funds into cryptocurrency exchanges due to suspected financial crimes.The bank told crypto news outlet Decrypt that customers cannot fund their crypto exchange accounts via Starling for now due to concerns over criminal activities. Starling said, “This is a temporary measure that we’ve taken to protect customers, having observed high levels of suspected financial crime with payments to some cryptocurrency exchanges.” The bank said the concern is not exclusive to Starling as other banks in the UK feel the same way.
Starling said the move is temporary as the bank will reverse the ban once it rolls out extra checks specifically for payments to cryptocurrency exchanges. However, the spokesperson declined to reveal when the bank will lift the ban.
Withdrawals from crypto exchanges are allowed
The bank clarified that only deposits to exchanges are banned at the moment. The bank customers can withdraw their funds from crypto exchanges to their Starling accounts with no restrictions.Although Starling said the problem is a general one for banks across the UK, there are no reports that other major banks have implemented the same ban. Barclays told Decrypt that it had not banned transactions to cryptocurrency exchanges.
Traditional financial institutions have a history of blocking cryptocurrency-focused transactions. However, the cryptocurrency market has grown massively over the past few years, and more institutions and retail traders have entered the space. Hence, banks and other financial institutions are obliged to provide crypto services due to rising demands from their clients. Some of the leading banks are already offering cryptocurrency services, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. JPMorgan, Citigroup, Cowen and UBS are other top banks that are looking to enter the market.

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 success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
