BankToBTC is a new research database focused on one thing: how to fund a Bitcoin purchase from your bank without getting blocked or held.
We track bank specific Bitcoin policies, the deposit rails that work in each country (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, OSKO and more), plus the real friction points like transfer limits, beneficiary delays, fraud holds, and card declines.
We also verify exchange regulatory status where applicable. The goal is to show which banks are the most Bitcoin-friendly, which are not, and what funding path is most likely to succeed.
We are going to be adding many more banks & regions, but we would love to know what other information Bitcoiners would find useful here.
Also if you see anything wrong with any of the banks, we'd appreciate the feedback!
Is the revenue just coming from the affiliate links? or is there a long term play here?
It was intended as mostly a public good that I was hacking away at (i've personally had accounts cancelled from 2 diff banks in Australia). But then a friend of mine suggested to try and get some revenue from affiliate - so im trying that too.
I think its helpful to point users to regulated exchanges in the region that dont overly index on peddling shitcoins. So im going to try and suggest more OG exchanges like this.
Big thing for us now is just trying to promote within the BTC community and get added to some lists like this https://github.com/igorbarinov/awesome-bitcoin and others for visibility
