U.K. bank NatWest said it’s imposing a daily limit of £1000 ($1,216) and a 30-day payment limit of £5000 to cryptocurrency exchanges is being implemented to help protect customers losing life changing sums of money. “Cryptocurrency scams are often advertised online offering high returns on investments.
