Pekao Bank Cryptocurrency Policy
Pekao Bank, one of the largest banks in Poland, has released its official policy on cryptocurrencies. The bank will allow its clients to trade and hold cryptocurrencies, but will not provide any banking services for companies dealing in cryptocurrencies. The bank believes that cryptocurrencies are "high-risk" investments and that their prices are highly volatile. As such, Pekao Bank will not provide any credit or other financial services to companies dealing in cryptocurrencies.
Pekao Bank's policy on cryptocurrencies is similar to that of other major banks in Poland. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority has warned investors about the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies but has not banned them outright.
The Bank's decision to allow its clients to trade and hold cryptocurrencies will likely provide a boost to the Polish cryptocurrency market. Poland has a large number of cryptocurrency exchanges, and the country is home to one of the largest bitcoin mining operations in the world.
