The European Bank Unicredit threatens to close all accounts of clients who buy crypto
1 min read
Everything started on Twitter when a user showed a screenshot of a conversation with Unicredit customer support. He complained that he couldn’t send money to FTX or Crypto.com
The support told him to not do it because it’s against the bank’s policy. He asked where this policy was written and the answer was “it’s now written in the contract, it’s just a policy we have”.
The customer service told him also that anyone who tries to send money to any crypto exchange will be reported (to whom? Lol) and their account will be terminated.
After this post on Twitter became trending, the official Unicredit account tweeted a statement confirming that their policies forbid customers to send money to any crypto exchange.
You can see the thread here, however it’s written in Italian but you can use Google translate: https://twitter.com/UniCredit_IT/status/1479527599890173952?t=9PYE2-UqUCvtIdRMHjZEsw&s=19
I don’t have an account at Unicredit because it’s a terrible bank previously related with the worse politicians in the country, however it’s a big European bank (mostly Italian and French) so I advise every customer to close their account and move to another bank.
