National Australia Bank Ltd

National Australia Bank Ltd. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nabzy#OTC">NABZY</a>) has imposed restrictions on certain payments to crypto exchanges deemed as &quot;high-risk,&quot; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/crypto-scams">citing concerns over scams</a>.
This move aligns the bank with other major Australian firms that have also limited access to digital asset platforms due to similar apprehensions.
&quot;These scammers are part of organized, transnational crime groups,&quot;&nbsp;National Australia Bank (NAB) executive for group investigations and fraud Chris Sheehan said. &quot;Increasingly, we&#39;re seeing them use cryptocurrency platforms to send stolen funds quickly and often overseas.&quot;

Westpac Banking Corp., Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and Australia &amp; New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. have all implemented comparable measures. 
NAB claims crypto scams are a rapidly escalating security concern and cost Australians A$221 million ($151 million) in the previous year alone. Nearly half of the scam funds reported to the Australian Financial Crimes Exchange over a recent 30-day period were associated with cryptocurrency.

The bank has yet to provide further details on the specific crypto exchanges affected by this decision.
Westpac became the first among Australia&#39;s big four banks to introduce new protective measures against crypto scams on May 18.
On the same day, Binance Australia announced that it could no longer provide Australian dollar deposit services due to a decision made by payment solutions provider Cuscal.
Cuscal&#39;s primary concern is &quot;protecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/07/33233266/australian-securities-exchange-receives-historic-first-spot-bitcoin-etf-application">Australians from financial crimes and scams.&quot;</a>

NAB Places Strict Restrictions On Crypto As Australia Cyber Scam Epidemic Escalates

The Reserve Bank of Australia said Monday it is partnering with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmway#OTC">CMWAY</a>),&nbsp;National Australia Bank Limited (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nabzy#OTC">NABZY</a>), and financial services firm&nbsp;Perpetual&nbsp;to explore the &ldquo;implications&rdquo; of a wholesale form of a&nbsp;blockchain-based central bank digital currency (CBDC).
What Happened: Australia&rsquo;s central bank said in a <a href="https://www.rba.gov.au/media-releases/2020/mr-20-27.html" style="text-decoration-line:none">statement</a> it would research the development of a proof-of-concept for the issuance of a tokenized form of the CBDC &ldquo;that can be used by wholesale market participants for the funding, settlement and repayment of a [tokenized] syndicated loan on an Ethereum-based [distributed ledger technology] platform.&rdquo;
&ldquo;With this project we are aiming to explore the implications of a CBDC for efficiency, risk management and innovation in wholesale financial market transactions,&rdquo; said Reserve Bank of Australia Assistant Governor Michele Bullock.
The project is slated to be completed by the end of this year and a report on the main findings can be expected by the first half of 2021.
Why It Matters: China has been spearheading the development of a CBDC, with domestic technology giants such as Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcehy#OTC">TCEHY</a>) and Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/baba#NYSE">BABA</a>) reportedly serving as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/19/12/15040832/tencent-reportedly-creating-team-to-work-on-chinas-digital-currency-pilot" style="text-decoration-line:none">outlets for the currency</a>.
In April, it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/20/04/15872323/mcdonalds-starbucks-subway-part-of-chinas-central-digital-currency-pilot-report" style="text-decoration-line:none">reported</a> that U.S. fast-food companies such as McDonald&rsquo;s Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mcd#NYSE">MCD</a>) and Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sbux#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) as well as Subway could participate in the trial of the digital Renminbi.&nbsp;
Central banks Japan, Canada, and some European Union countries are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/20/01/15160674/japan-canada-europe-central-banks-group-up-to-discuss-launching-digital-currencies" style="text-decoration-line:none">teaming up</a> to study the prospects of launching digital currencies in their respective countries.
In October last year,&nbsp;Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fb#NASDAQ">FB</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned the United States lawmakers on their stance on digital assets that&nbsp;&quot;we can&#39;t sit here and assume that because America is today the leader that it will always get to be the leader if we don&#39;t innovate,&rdquo;&nbsp;National Public Radio&nbsp;<a href="https://www.npr.org/2019/10/23/772075523/mark-zuckerberg-offers-a-choice-the-facebook-way-or-the-china-way" style="text-decoration-line:none">reported.</a>
