Sending fiat to exchange from Barclays Isle of Man

[trek]

I'm thinking of sending some fiat to FTX (crypto exchange) from my Barclays account in the Isle of Man. Do I risk some termination for doing so? I guess they are not keen on receiving withdrawals but not sure about sending wire transfers. Is there anyone with some experience with this? Any guesses?

Have you read the terms and conditions you accepted when you opened the account? Does it say anything there about crypto?

Don't guess just ask them directly.

Ask randomly one of their officers in a btw manner. See first wjat they say, before attempting anything.

Useless to ask, you can’t trust what they say.
Btw @trek do you reside on the IOM?

Never send direct from a bank, always use a EMI in the middle, and vice versa.

Terms and conditions on banks usually make you an unattractive customer, whereas terms and conditions on EMI's are different and more open to regulated/legally operating crypto exchanges.

That's the best advise in most cases!

Or send to a personal iban provided by an exchange, such as Nebeus, SwissBorg, Crypto.com

Was is it difficult to open an account with Barclays in the Isle of Man? is it a personal or corporate account?

They closed mine when I ceased to be IOM resident

It's easy. But Barclays do not open any longer for EU residents like yourself.

I asked and they seem to be fine with any exchange except Binance.

Btw @trek do you reside on the IOM?

Yes, but I have a Barclays International account with an IoM sort code.

It was easy and it is a personal account. Just look for the International account. Not sure if they still open such accounts, though.
