Westpac to Ban Branch Payments to Crypto Exchanges Starting Dec. 1

Westpac will prohibit payments to cryptocurrency exchanges at its branches starting Dec. 1, while setting a monthly A$10,000 limit on payments to exchanges. The ban on branch payments will have no exemptions. The monthly limit was previously outlined in coverage of Westpac’s planned A$10,000 cap . Withdrawals from cryptocurrency exchanges into Westpac accounts will remain unaffected. John Kim reports on the digital-asset business for TokenPost. Send corrections or tips to info@tokenpost.com.
