LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) - Britain's Nationwide
Building Society has restricted customers' ability to buy
cryptocurrencies, the lender said in an email to its members
today.
Nationwide said it will not allow payments to crypto
exchanges using credit cards and will limit adult current
accounts to 5,000 pounds ($5,995.00) per day of purchases.
The building society said the move was in response to
regulatory concern over the risks of buying digital currencies.
