The co-founder of Irish Bitcoin (BTC) broker Eircoin accused the Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland (BPFI) of discriminating against crypto-related accounts, The Irish Times reports June 21.
Dave Fleming blamed the BPFI for, “seeking to muddy the waters with insinuations of dirty money.” Eircoin, which is reportedly “Ireland’s only Bitcoin broker,” was closed in April.
According to Fleming and his business partner Roisin Coogan, banks also refused banking services to a new secondary consulting business.
One of the leading Irish banks, AIB, also denied claims that it was refusing banking services to crypto-related firms.
Crypto exchanges in both Finland and Chile have risked total closure as the respective countries’ banks are unwilling to do business.
