Santander blocks deposits to Binance
Spanish banking giant Santander has announced that it would no longer allow its U.K. customers to fund their Binance accounts. It becomes the latest major bank in the U.K. to make such a move after Barclays earlier this week.
The bank said, "Keeping our customers safe is a top priority, so we have decided to prevent payments to Binance following the FCA's [Financial Conduct Authority's] warning to consumers." Santander said it is concerned that U.K. customers are becoming victims of cryptocurrency frauds.
Big banks don't support Binance in the UK
Binance is finding it hard to do business in the U.K. after the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) banned Binance Markets Limited (BML) — Binance's U.K. entity. So far, Santander and Barclays have blocked deposits to Binance, while Lloyds Bank doesn't allow cryptocurrency payments with its debit and credit cards. Natwest has also lowered the daily limit on how much its customers can send to crypto exchanges.
Binance has maintained that the ban affects Binance Markets Limited and not Binance.com. Hence, it doesn't understand why banks are blocking user payments to Binance.com, which the regulator didn't sanction.
A Binance spokesperson said, "We are disappointed that Santander appears to have taken unilateral action based on what appears to be an inaccurate understanding of events. We reiterate the fact that the FCA notice was not about user deposits on Binance.com at all."

Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
