The bank will shift its policy to improve customer safety amid increased cases of scammers who leave crypto enthusiasts with massive financial losses. Chase UK will not process payments suspected to originate from crypto undertakings.

The bank advised enthusiasts who wish to invest in crypto to use other service providers. Further, it cautioned about the challenges of recovering money lost to cryptocurrency frauds. Also, Chase UK directed its users to find more info about safeguarding their money on its official website.
