Paying in large amounts of cash

vacheron

I paid in £4500 in £50 notes to Halifax about 18 months ago after selling a watch. No questions asked.
Thought they'd be suspicious of the £50's given that most people are, but no, they just chucked them all in the counting machine without so much as second glance!

I also had to pay in £17,000 in cash to Halifax in 2010 which was all in £20's and £50's banded up by Natwest in a plastic bag so it looked suspiciously like and armed robbery haul.
Again went into Halifax without problems.

Yes, well. I just got to thinking about your "stroppy" customers. Would these be the ones who pay, or in your case paid, your wages?

In spite of what might be believed from reading MSE, most customers are normal, reasonable people.


The stroppy ones are few and far between - indeed, after working in banking for nearly 40 years, I was only sworn at twice.


So no, there weren't nearly enough stroppy customers to pay my wages !

You seem to have lost sight of who the customer is, which is hardly surprising for a bank. And a so-called "money laundering report" filed on that basis would be malicious to say the least. As far as I'm concerned, it's MY money and you (criminal, e.g. HSBC) banks can go and boil your corporate heads.

and you seem to have lost sight of the laws under which occupants of this country live. Don't like the laws? Get them changed or go elsewhere (f off in your parlance).

Yes, agree. Just because somebody pays your wage it doesn't bestow on that person a right to abuse you or treat you badly.

i've never been paid cash for shares or property. cars & motorbikes though

I meant shares are paid into an account then the cash is withdrawn and maybe paid into another account in cash, this is the same for inheritance payments into an executors account and again may be a cash deposit...
