It's sunday night and I finally set up an Exodus wallet to hold my EOS tokens. Easy peasy. Now why not buy a few more while I'm at it? Ok, so I'll need to buy some ETH and then trade to EOS-no problem. Login in to Quadrigacx( my go-to exchange) and check "fund".

The Bank of Montreal(BMO) has blocked crypto currency exchanges! reddit.com article It seems as though TD bank has also done the same.

What am I to do? Open an account at another bank only to have them follow suite too?

Can I still sell my current holdings and transfer to my bank?

Is my only other option to buy from coinbase with my credit card? I sure don't want too.

Sorry for the rant, but I wanted a few more EOS before the sale is finished and now I'm mad.
It's not the first time BMO has "protected" me. Once they froze my account and left me with a full cart of groceries because someone(me) was attempting to buy "gold" online. Scoundrels- it's my cash and I'll do as I please with it.

I'm @edthecanadian and I'm nursing a head cold.

The above caricature's are of me from the bitmoji app.

Sort:  

I don't even have a bank, I go through the trouble of fees and Western Union :(

Hope you find a viable solution Ed.

Hmmm, seems I may have to find a round about too...

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

One of these days I need to learn how to cash out. Sad that the control of governments has that power. Good lu k woth it all.

Love

Thanks for the support😊

Not just BMO

TDB as well

Happened to me a couple of months back

Pissed me off too

Had to drive 3 H as theres crypto ATM in Alberta

In heavy snow!

When we arrived, the ATM was out of order

Shitty day I had 😅

Oh hun that sucks! I may need to find an atm aswell.

Right, I know how you feel when you get blocked like that happened to me too

Ugh, we're just trying to get on the front seat of this crypto express. But noooo the trains is off the tracks better luck next time.
Thanks kp.

To the best of my knowledge, Simplii hasn’t banned crypto yet.

What is simplii?

A Canadian bank

Not sure if Scotiabank will even allow me to buy through coinbase with my credit card anymore. At least without charging fees on top of Coinbase fees.

I tried to set up an account at scotia on saturday, but there wasn't anyone around that could handle it. So I do have an appointment with royal bank on wednesday 7pm.
