What is the reason for the closure of the accounts? According to the regulator’s representatives, the company TVS Hallmark Service Limited as well as individuals Nwaorgu Kingsley Chibuzor and Nnamdi Francis Okereke violated the country's financial laws.
In particular, this includes the bank's decision of February 5, 2021, which prohibits commercial financial institutions from providing services to customers that deal in cryptocurrencies. The authority stresses that the ban does not apply to ordinary people who buy and sell bitcoin for personal use.
