🔒 Why Banks Sometimes Block Bitcoin-Related Transfers

Many Canadian financial institutions use automated systems that review transactions related to:

- cryptocurrency
- Bitcoin purchases
- large e-Transfers
- unusual account activity

Even if you authorized the payment, the bank may temporarily block or hold the transfer for review.

- fraud-prevention systems
- first-time Bitcoin purchases
- larger-than-normal transfer amounts
- unusual transaction activity

This can happen with many Canadian banks, including:

Why Your Bank May Contact You About a Bitcoin Purchase

The fastest solution is often to contact your bank directly.

Call the phone number on the back of your debit card

Confirm that you personally authorized the e-Transfer

Explain that the transfer is being sent to 1Bitcoin.ca

Ask the bank to approve or remove restrictions on the transfer

1. Call the phone number on the back of your debit card
2. Confirm that you personally authorized the e-Transfer
3. Explain that the transfer is being sent to 1Bitcoin.ca
