Do people like Richard Branson have to go through interrogations like this, given the money that he must have going through his bank accounts?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

I have paid in large amounts by cheque 5K+ 10K, & 20K never ever had a problem. Occasionally I move money from bank to bank in cash, around the 1K - 4K range.
In both situations whether cash or cheque the most I have been asked is
"Where is this from?" to which I reply
"My other bank account(s)" they then say
"savings?"
I say "Yes"
And that is the end of that. If they asked me much more or accused me of fraud, I would swiftly close all my accounts with them.0 -

I didnt realise how hard it was to pay money into your own account. Over the summer I did a couple of charity collections and intended to pay the money into my account and then send the charity a payment online. Jesus.
A&L would only take bags of coins if they were 'full bags' ie: if the bags take £20 in pound counds, they would only take bags of £20. For copper coins they would only take bags with a full pound in it.
So I went to Nationwide to pay it in there, they would only accept 5 bags of coins at any time. I didnt want to split the amount between two different accounts so I went back to A&L ,when no one else was in there, had a word with the cashier and she agreed, reluctently, to let me pay all the bags in , no matter how full they were.
<sarcasm>Well thank you very much. <sarcasm>Smile. Its the second best thing you can do with your lips....0 -
Why not just seperate the coins, and bag them in accordance with the instructions on the coin bags?
How did you know how much was in each bag and in total if they were all just random amounts?0
