It is no secret that most banks don’t like crypto businesses.
Every single company working with cryptocurrencies has heard a “no” from a bank at least once. Even if your bank account was opened, there’s no guarantee it won’t be closed almost immediately when you start operations with crypto.
This is especially relevant for crypto exchanges and trading platforms, who process millions (and sometimes billions) worth of crypto-fiat transactions daily. Expecting high money laundering risks (and unwilling to dip their toes in it), banks often choose to freeze accounts without any explanations, which might take weeks to recover.
Some say that it’s about to change and even the biggest “anti-crypto” banks are making their first steps in the space. Indeed, for the first time ever, JP Morgan has just accepted well-known US-based exchanges Coinbase and Gemini as its clients. But it is just a drop in the ocean — it might take years until the majority of crypto exchanges are able to access banking services from traditional players.
Migom Bank™ provides both traditional and cryptocurrency-specific banking services for crypto exchanges — today.
