Lloyds completely shut my account down and wouldnt give me an explanation even though it was obviously bitcoin related as I was cashing out at the time.
Santander are friendlier but I would definitely recommend getting a personal banker to explain what you are doing to. This will stop issues and questions later.
I've put £10 through Lloyds to Coinbase. Those bitches didn't make a squeak.
From plenty of reading I get the impression Nationwide are the mellowest but their intermediary bank won't let them send or receive with any EU exchange.
I think
from a bank
to an exchange there's usually no problem. At least I've never had an issue using banks in two different countries.
It's the other way around that can sting you. Going
from an exchange

I was selling directly to people and having multiple deposits into my account. The total was high but whether they would have noticed/cared/acted differently if it was fewer larger transactions I dont know.
I explained what it was, showed them I knew my tax implications but they just flat out refused to discuss it.
Computer says no bullshit.
You CAN'T have multiple people depositing into your account with no official paperwork associated. Heck, you CAN'T even regularly deposit substantial amounts of cash into your account by YOURSELF without proper explanation. It is the way it is.
