Crypto friendly banks? My credit union apparently isn't

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I spoke with an employee at my local credit union about opening up another checking account specifically for ACH withdrawals like PayPal and Coinbase, etc. The employee then told me that &quot;Bitcoin&quot; (meaning cryptocurrency) was one of the things they screen for when opening new accounts. Is this common?</p> <p>It seems I may have to open an account for purchasing cryptocurrency elsewhere. Are there any banks/credit unions/online banks that are amenable to these sorts of transactions?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> Kind Regards R
