A few banks really don't like you opening a bank account, dumping a load of cash in and then taking it out.

It costs them money, looks like money laundering, and where they are offering you money to open the account then they expect you to use it like an account where money goes in and then you make direct debit or debit card payments.

And yes, don't do anything like this on a new account, when you need the money instantly as you can trigger an account suspension.
