Banks!!
5 Replies
Is it just me or am I right in thinking that the banks don't listen, I have been a good customer with a bank here for several years, however this morning I asked for rather a large amount (few thousand euros in cash) to be given to me and was told I would have to await 'clearance' - why? it is my money? Despite arguing with them till I was Blue in the face the cashier refused and told me to collect it in 48 hours - has anyone else experienced this? I felt like a criminal.

I have to investigate on the exact amount, but there is a limit. I know it works for 3,000€. But it may be a bit higher, not sure. It's a money laundering issue/check imposed by the EC. There is a similar regulation for bank transfers btw. You'll have the same issue whether it is BCEE or any other bank.
