英国议会加密与数字资产跨党派小组已致函英国主要银行首席执行官,要求说明银行如何对待加密和数字资产企业。议员称,行业多次反映在英国开设银行账户存在困难,部分银行还限制与加密相关的支付。

六项问题直指开户与支付限制

这封信由工党议员 Gurinder Singh Josan 和前数字经济事务大臣、上议院议员 Vaizey 联名发出。信中要求各家银行回答六项问题,包括现行政策、是否为加密企业提供服务、若不提供服务的原因、对加密相关交易设置了哪些限制、采取这类做法的依据,以及英国新监管制度实施后是否会调整。

议员在信中表示,银行需要履行反金融犯罪和消费者保护义务,但不少企业认为,银行在作出决定时应更多依据单个公司的风险状况,而不是按行业一刀切处理。

议员称银行服务或成行业扩张障碍

议员认为,获得基础银行服务可能是英国加密企业发展面临的主要障碍之一,也可能影响英国即将实施的加密监管制度效果。对于正在评估是否在英国投资或扩张的企业来说,银行准入问题也可能左右其决策。

英国财政部此前已承认这一问题。英国财政部经济事务大臣 Lucy Rigby 今年 3 月在议会表示,在新制度下,政府“不希望”获得英国金融行为监管局(FCA)许可的企业,仅因所属行业而遭银行限制。

议会调查已启动,书面意见征集至 8 月 31 日

这封信发出前,相关跨党派小组已于 7 月 21 日启动针对银行服务准入的议会调查,目前正征集书面意见,截止日期为 8 月 31 日,之后将向政府提交报告。议员表示,这次致函并非要提前替代调查结论,而是希望先了解主要银行的立场。

FCA 已在今年 6 月敲定加密行业监管规则,新制度将于 2027 年 10 月起强制实施。报道还提到,类似“去银行化”争议并非英国独有。美国部分加密企业此前也曾指责银行体系在监管压力下切断合作关系。
