"I recently tried to take some of my money out of my account and was shut in a room and interrogated like a criminal before eventually, and rather begrudgingly, being given an envelope containing the cash I’d asked for."

‘So, why do you want this money?’ asked the impertinent bank clerk.

‘To buy sweets,’ I replied.

Bang. I could tell from her eyes that the metaphorical shutters had come down.

The clerk looked at her screen as if it were telling her something.

‘Your request has been blocked,’ said the clerk."

 

... All the horrifying details at the link above.

Bad enough it should happen at our home-town bank, but out here, on the other side of the Earth, in a foreign language?

Oh, my!

Maybe take it all with a pinch of salt....(sacked by The Sun for being too controversial!!)

 

Coleman has attracted significant criticism for his views, particularly regarding:

 

• Vaccines: He is a vocal critic of vaccination programs and has been accused of spreading misinformation, particularly during the       COVID-19 pandemic.

• Pandemics and public health measures: He opposed lockdowns and questioned the severity of COVID-19.

• Climate change: Coleman has expressed skepticism about mainstream climate science.

• Alternative medicine: Promotes some unorthodox approaches to healthcare.

 

Although to be fair....that list will make him a hero to many on here.

For exactly those views he is one of my heroes.

 

His early and strong warnings about the vaccines, alerted me to avoid the jab.

I just wish I had some ideas how to avoid the coming bank "troubles".

I had this happen back home . They refused to give cash (about 10 k euro). They threatened to end " the bank relation ".

Not yet here in Thailand . I take out everything but the 400 thb minimum 7 months for immigration .

"Your Bank Despises You."  > I despise them much more.

Most people are not aware that legally the money on their bank-account is NOT theirs.  The moment you (or someone else) puts money on your bank-account, that money now belongs to the Bank, and you are simply a creditor of that money.  And the rules for withdrawing money from your bank-account can make it quite difficult to get access to 'your' money.  It is therefore wise not to solely rely on 1 bank for all your banking transactions, but besides your main bank, to spread it over different banks.
