“Swedbank recently froze a customer’s account after it found out about her selling five bitcoins on a digital currency marketplace. Bröms Hopkins went on to say she was particularly frustrated that the bank didn’t try to contact her before freezing her account. ‘Then a guy from the bank called me. He didn’t say it in so many words, but in between the lines he advised me against doing business in bitcoins because of its anonymity. After his call I felt a bit like a criminal,’ she said. The bank reopened Bröms Hopkins’ account 15 days after they imposed the freeze.”
