HSBC asking customers to justify large withdrawals.
What business is it to the bank how a customer plans on spending his or her money? Is this common in the UK? I would have thought that an "instant access savings account" would mean just that: instant access.

Stephen Cotton went to his local HSBC branch this month to withdraw £7,000 from his instant access savings account to pay back a loan from his mother. A year before, he had withdrawn a larger sum in cash from HSBC without a problem. But this time it was different, as he told Money Box: "When we presented them with the withdrawal slip, they declined to give us the money because we could not provide them with a satisfactory explanation for what the money was for. They wanted a letter from the person involved." |
