Uk banks have their watchful eyes glancing over accounts, Barclays have raised eyebrows with a few of my friends accounts, has required them having to chat with bank managers to explain they were only selling 'vouchers'

I think they would have no hesitation to bring the hammer down.

Hammertime. Shocked

and thats where the problem lays.. lies...

my UK bank manager knows fully about bitcoin and knows i trade bitcoin which to my surprise, over a year ago when first talking about, they are actually ok with it. as long as i stick to the limits etc. and thats still the same even now

BUT.....

those that LIE and say they are selling advertising or vouchers, and then when some scambag tries requesting your bank to refund them due to bitcoins(yes chargeback scum are not limiting their scumbaggery to paypal). your bank will start questioning why you lied about the purposes of your trades, and indeed believe the scambag's accusation that you defrauded them. causing you to then be investigated.

so please have a proper conversation with your bank manager and be honest about the purposes of trade.

a prime example is blockchain.info who from what i have read, told their bank they sold pre-paid advertising... now look, they no longer provide UK transfers direct
