Agree...same here. But just try and get $9,000 or $8,000 of your money from your bank. It has taken me 3 days and 3 seperate trips to get $8,000 cash from my bank. Seems they just don't like to give the money back once they have it. The cash that is. (I sometimes buy/sell cars when a deal comes along. And cash is a better bargain tool.)

I've not initiated a similar transaction in over a decade, so I have no idea what their policy is nowadays, but I venture to say, that I would change banks, unless all banks operate the same. There's no legitimate reason for your bank to give you your funds in cash in three separate transactions. They are required to have a certain amount of cash on hand; an amount far above your withdrawal.

You need a new bank. I bank with a very small local banking chain in CA. As long as the money is in my checking account, I can withdraw $8-9000 in cash in five minutes, just by writing a check to "cash."

If you're trying to pull the money from savings, then check your agreement with the bank regarding your savings account. You'll find time restrictions in the agreement you signed.
