Toronto-Dominion Bank is halting the use of its credit cards to buy cryptocurrency as it conducts a review of the “evolving market.”
TD customers can no longer use credit cards to buy crypto
– moneysense.ca
TORONTO — TD Bank says it is taking a pause on allowing customers to use its credit cards to buy cryptocurrency.
The big bank says it made the decision to conduct a review and assessment of the evolving market.
The decision follows moves by several U.S. banks to stop allowing credit card purchases of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The value of bitcoin soared last year, trading for more than C$20,000 per bitcoin.
The value of the cryptocurrency has since come off its all-time highs and trades for around C$13,000, but remains up significantly from where it was a year ago.
Royal Bank says it does allow its credit and debit cards to be used for transactions involving cryptocurrency in limited circumstances, but cautioned clients about the possibility of a sudden drop in the value of cryptocurrencies.
