Banks have always found a way to earn money and now we see how they earn on commission for the transfer of Bitcoin from one account to another. This is good news, because it indicates that Banks are less likely to attack Bitcoin and are increasingly looking for a way of mutually beneficial cooperation and interaction.

Great, this is not the first news that banks are starting to use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for cross-border transfers. This method had to be used long ago, then it would be possible to save on expensive bank transfers and reduce the cost of part of banking services.

Did the banks stop being afraid of Bitcoin and start looking for ways to earn money on Bitcoin? This is good news, I hope that the banks of other countries will follow their example.
