Re: HSBC will be blocking large withdrawls for England Customers
 

Now you are being silly.

Feed your bank enough money to have them mind their own business.

Branch level HSBC staff are now dealing with this. The outcry will slowly die down.

Big Brother is still going to be around regardless of what you want.

branch level? why are they any better.

well we will see...if it is just questions, fine...l tell them it is for a personal 'down there' operation and that will shut them up.....

I suppose you can take out under £3000 and repeat a few days later...unless there is a monthly limit on the way....

They are deferring to Branch Level to deal with the idiocy of the policy.
Did you read the article

HSBC accounts are flexible at the moment for withdrawals.
:mod:

Re: HSBC will be blocking large withdrawls for England Customers
 

yes I read the article, but from experience, discretion of a teller is not always in your favour, I am not interested in someones 'perception' of me or of the situation. Unless cash transactions are banned by law for everything, then they have no right to ask questions IMO. I do not mind showing ID that it is me, that would make sense but what the money is for - no way.

Sighs.



Banks already have written into their rules what they can do.

Unless you can live without a bank, you have to play their games.

This is not unlike paypal. When you signed up to joined paypal you agreed to T&S that you may not have even read.

Should your bank want ID but you do not want to supply it or account for monies, you find another bank

agreed on that part, but always good to fight the little bits of freedom they keep taking away from us....

No worries everyone, I file a lawsuit and after I win, I will charge my 85% fee and the rest is for everyone to split...what you guys think?

I guess its time to invest in a king sized mattress, a Siberian Tiger and a shotgun..

I read this article last night and nearly busted a gasket.

Now I see why virtual currency is sky rocketing in popularity...

I might look into bitcoin a bit more now....As long as I do not lose 6.2 million stored on my hard drive

Re: HSBC will be blocking large withdrawls for England Customers
 

It is still common in the antiques world for many transactions to be done in cash.

That cash can be used to buy groceries in the supermarket, wine, put gas in the car, or for a night out. In other words to pay for consumables for which one has enjoyed the benefit but quickly disappear and are not traceable.

This is money that neither the bank or the tax man need know about.
