A bank called Skandiabanken in Norway now supports Bitcoin. However you cannot purchase the Bitcoins through the bank, you'll be redirected to Coinbase in order to buy.

I don't have this bank myself, so I cannot test this. It seems like it's just linked to Coinbase and the bank does not store the coins on their servers.

This feature is in a beta phase, and the laws in Norway could cause conflicts. I think this is a huge step, and I hope this will soon be supported in more banks. This feature is mainly for investors, you cannot use it to pay bills and such.

Here's a link to the article translated to English:  https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.no&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=http://e24.no/privat/bitcoin/naa-faar-du-bitcoin-i-nettbanken-kan-ikke-fornekte-ny-teknologi/23996559&usg=ALkJrhjVd47hlRvCuPcMw4r7-8SKmywfYw
I think the bank is not support for bitcoin because we will be redirected to coinbase in order buy bitcoin
we know about coinbase to buy and sell bitcoin, should the bank doesn't just redirect to coinbase
but they gives the service to buy and sell bitcoin on their bank, it is mean they are really support bitcoin
because on their bank there is fetures for comunity of bitcoin to buy and sell bitcoin and make easy to getting bitcoin.
