New Restrictions for Chase Bank Customers in the UK

Chase Bank, a digital bank owned by investment banking giant JPMorgan, has announced that it will impose restrictions on all cryptocurrency-related transactions for its customers in the United Kingdom. Starting from October 16, customers of Chase Bank in the UK will no longer be able to make crypto transactions using their debit cards or through outgoing bank transfers, according to a spokesperson for the firm. In the event that customers attempt to make a crypto-related transaction, they will receive a declined transaction notification, the bank said in a statement.

Crackdown Due to Rise in Fraud and Scams

Chase Bank has decided to enforce these new restrictions due to a significant increase in fraud and scams related to crypto assets, according to the bank's representative. The decision aims to protect customers from potential financial losses and fraudulent activity. Chase Bank is not the first financial institution to take such measures amid concerns over the security of cryptocurrency transactions.
