With FINCEN’s officially classifying Bitcoin as a “Virtual Currency” and applying all of the rules and standards of Foreign Currencies, the door is open under part 712.5 “Pre-Approved or Permissible Services”, (a) Checking and currency services: or (e)(8) Cyber financial services for CUSO’s. Further guidance from the GAO and the Federal Reserve make this emerging payments technology a strong revenue and market share opportunity!

Not to mention this could be a leading edge member service that could be offered as a viable alternative to wire transfers, pre-paid debit cards or as an alternative to Pay-pal.
