Anyway, the clerk called over a bank officer, who asked me why I was transferring the money. I suppose I could have refused to answer, but this particular bank branch has been very helpful to me in the past.
So I told the bank officer. Then I asked her why she asked me in the first place. She said when large amounts are involved, the bank asks to make sure the customer is not being involved in some sort of swindle (a Nigerian money scam, etc.). That did make some sense.
Just something to think about.
It totally sucks IMO, it's my damn money. Have you run into: "well you can only take out this much this day and this much the following days, bla bla bla".
It is at that point I go on about Dodd-Frank and do you know about this is why you are restricing me? I prolly got a ton of SAR's. Piss me off, they know us, they know our credit rating, and they treat us all like criminals...
I have transfered large sums of cash between accounts online... no problems.
