Dude Banks around the world, particularly in the US, have been closing down accounts of bitcoin startups and even bitcoin-accepting businesses for over a year now. Even those that do work with bitcoin businesses are reluctant to be named in the media. More conspiratorial theories say bitcoin's destiny is to replace banks, and banks fear the competition Tongue

Correct, found this article October 2013, about banks refusing to execute transactions to BTC related accounts, Netherlands & Belgium.
