    That’s about 500 bucks for your average bank.

      Nah, you can physically go to your bank and withdraw whatever you want. I once rage closed my accounts at a bank because they kept changing their rules everyday to squeeze various fees out of me. I had over twenty thousand dollars across three accounts and withdrew all of it in cash on the spot.

      Putting that money INTO a new bank account was the more difficult leg of that journey. Fortunately, I kept the withdrawal receipts from the previous bank to prove where the money came from.

        Nah, you can physically go to your bank and withdraw whatever you want.

        That would depend on your country/bank. In the Netherlands physical bank offices are getting more rare every year and a lot of them don’t have any facilities for handling physical cash, apart from ATMs. The ones that do often require you to request your withdrawal at least a day in advance for any larger amounts, with ‘larger’ being €10.000,- or so. And of course this will net you a nice registration as all large cash transactions will have to be registered to prevent white-washing. So this route is not going to fly here. I’d recommend just buying the entire bank, that’s probably easier. 😋

        You’re right. I was thinking of the ATM. That has limits, but going into the actual bank doesn’t now that I think of it.

          And you can change the limit of atm withdrawal as well. Mine is set to $1000 but I think I can tell them to make it higher.
