Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland, Halifax and MBNA customers will no longer be able to purchase crypto currencies via their credit cards as the parent group clamps down.

The move follows similar policy changes in the US, where Bank of America, Capital One, Citigroup, Discover and JP Morgan and others have enacted bans.
