Interesting development today.

We have purchased from Ebang before and after getting in touch with Ivy it went through reasonably smoothly. Paid duty on import to Uk etc etc.

So last week via Ivy we put another order in and sent the money via our bank in UK. Been chasing ebang for a shipping fedex number.

Earlier , phone call from our bank , have you put a transaction through to such and such bank in China for X amount . Yes. Its currently been held up by our clearing bank ?? ( im assuming chinese? ) , Is this purchase anything to do with bitcoin?  err ? Not going to detail our replies here ( paranoid ) but the end result is that they are refering back to the clearing bank .

So ebang not been paid and we are wondering whether it will go through ?

I know of other people in UK having their banks refusing coinbase transactions because they relate to bitcoin but not this.

Anybody else experienced anything similar?
