To be fair, it makes sense to ask questions on a transaction you are suspicious of being fraud or scam to protect your bank members. Old people get scammed by Indians all the time.
But a 24 hour notice on anything $2,000 dollars or more? Fuck off. Those kinds of purchases are for when you run into sudden vehicle or appliance trouble, something that costs a lot but you need it right away. $2,000 is way too low.
How is that fair? If the old people want to throw away their money, so be it. If I had the money in the bank and I wanted to withdraw every thing in nickels, I should have that option. That is fair.
If the money is in the bank, I should be able to withdraw it, No questions asked, period.
That money is some family's entire built up inheritance over several generations and then someone throws it away as they are becoming senile. It's not fair to the family or the old person being taken advantage of.
It's just some questions to make sure you aren't being scammed like "You aren't buying a bunch of gift cards for a tech support guy with this money, right?"
But they can't stop you from withdrawing the money. If you don't want questions, don't use a bank.
That's just nuts. It's not the bank's job to nanny. I have to use a bank. Not their job to care where my money goes.
Old people have been getting scammed forever. It's their kids to nanny them, not the banks.
