Kraken has announced that it will suspend the Automated Clearing House (ACH) deposits and withdrawals as early as 27th March 2023.&nbsp;
ACH Deposits And Withdrawals Suspended&nbsp;
The cryptocurrency exchange also stated while announcing the news that it was looking for a new banking partner following the collapse of its previous banking partner, Silvergate Bank. The exchange stated in an email,&nbsp;

&ldquo;As of 27th March 2023, Kraken clients will no longer be able to use ACH deposits and withdrawals through Silvergate. We are working to make ACH funding options available through alternative funding providers as soon as possible and will communicate details with clients as soon as we can.&rdquo;

However, the company stressed that the developments would impact no other services. Additionally, Kraken has stated that it plans to resume ACH deposits and withdrawals as soon as it finds alternative partners.&nbsp;
What Are Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transfers?&nbsp;
Automated Clearing House (ACH) is a dedicated electronic network for financial transactions carried out in the United States. Deposits via ACH are available to users via Plaid, while ACH withdrawals are also available. Additionally, users can also make online banking purchases using the &ldquo;Buy Crypto Widget&rdquo; on the Kraken app and website. In its help section, Kraken stated that ACH transfers sent to the exchange using funding options apart from Plaid would be returned to users after five business days. Additionally, the exchange stated that it has little control of this process as it is mainly automated and up to the bank when it returns the funds to your account.&nbsp;
Kraken To Continue Banking Foray&nbsp;
Despite facing numerous challenges apart from the shuttering of Silvergate Bank, Kraken is set to continue its foray into banking. After paying a fine of $30 million and settling with the Securities and Exchange Commission, stopping its staking operations, the exchange is set to create its own banking institution. Called Kraken Bank, the crypto bank is the first to be awarded a US state banking charter. Additionally, it will be based on the Wyoming SPDI (Special Purpose Depository Institution) Framework.&nbsp;
The crypto bank was slated for launch last year before being delayed for several reasons. However, Kraken has since confirmed that it is progressing with the launch. In a recent podcast, Marco Santori, Kraken&rsquo;s Chief Legal Officer, revealed the details around the launch. Santori also discussed the implications of increased regulatory scrutiny of crypto firms in the United States.
