Banks in both the United States and Britain have banned the use of credit cards to purchase Bitcoin and other digital assets, with the concerns that if their value drops customers will not be able to pay their debts. Britain’s Lloyds Banking Group Plc and Virgin Money stated they would ban credit card customers from purchasing cryptocurrencies, following the lead of U.S. banks JP Morgan Chase & Co and Citigroup. This is to protect their customers from accruing large debts from buying cryptocurrencies on credit cards, if their value were to significantly fall, according to a Lloyds spokeswoman. These concerns are rising among credit providers as their customers are increasingly using their credit to fund accounts on online cryptocurrency exchanges. On Monday, other banks said they will continue to permit their customers to purchase cryptocurrencies. “We constantly review our protections for customers as a responsible bank and lender, and are keeping this matter under close review,” said a spokesperson from Barclays, Britain’s leading credit card issuer. “At present UK customers can use both their Barclays debit card and Barclaycard credit card to purchase cryptocurrency legitimately.” Have You Added This Stock To Your Watch-List?

The bans apply to credit card purchases, with debit card users having full permission to purchase these digital assets. “Across Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland, Halifax and MBNA, we do not accept credit card transactions involving the purchase of cryptocurrencies,” said the Lloyds spokesperson. Lloyds did not disclose how it plans to implement the ban, although it was reported in the paper on Sunday that its credit card customers will be blocked from purchasing Bitcoin online through a “blacklist” that will flag sellers. The largest as well as best-known cryptocurrency has lost much of its value. On Monday it was down by 11 percent to $7255 at 1719 GMT on Bitstamp exchange, adding to Friday’s losses.

Screenshot: Unsplash CIJENA bitcoina jutros je u jednom trenutku pala ispod 6000 dolara, da bi se kasnije oporavila te se sada kreće na oko 6.480 dolara što je za 6 posto niža vrijednost u odnosu na jučerašnje trgovanje. >> PANIKA SE ŠIRI SVIJETOM Slom burze u New Yorku potopio tržišta u Europi i Aziji Negativan trend cijene bitcoina krenuo je sredinom prosinca prošle godine, kada je u jednom trenutku premašio 19 tisuća dolara, no od tada je, uz vrlo volatilno trgovanje, cijena uglavnom u padu. Bitcoin je uzdrman objavom nekih od najvećih banaka da zabranjuju upotrebu kreditnih kartica za kupnju virtualnih valuta. Prošlog je tjedna indijski ministar financija Arun Jaitley izjavio da će poduzeti mjere kako bi se eliminiralo korištenje kriptovaluta za financiranje ilegalnih aktivnosti. Također, Južna Koreja zabranila je anonimno trgovanje kriptovalutama kako bi se spriječilo pranje novca. Banke zabranjuju kupnju bitcoina kreditnim karticama zbog gomilanja dugova Banke u Velikoj Britaniji i Sjedinjenim Državama zabranile su upotrebu kreditnih kartica za kupnju bitcoina i ostalih kriptovaluta, strahujući da u slučaju naglog pada njihove vrijednosti klijenti neće moći vraćati dugove. Najveći britanski zajmodavac Lloyds Banking Group Plc objavio je u nedjelju da će klijentima s kreditnim karticama zabraniti kupnju kriptovaluta, slijedeći time primjer američkih bankovnih divova JP Morgan Chase & Co-a i Citigroupa. Zabrana bi trebala zaštititi klijente od gomilanja dugova kupnjom virtualnih valuta na kredit u slučaju da njihova vrijednost naglo padne, pojasnila je glasnogovornica Lloydsa. Među kartičarskim kućama zazvonilo je zvono na uzbunu kada su shvatili da klijenti sve češće koriste kreditne kartice za financiranje računa na internetskim platformama putem kojih naknadno kupuju digitalne valute.
