They're not getting much of that cash either unless they're going straight to your bank, but they're still dealing with SARs. Your bank better call you, too. If my bank is going to cash a check for $20k they better make sure I wrote it.
I actually left a bank years and years ago...it was when my wife and I were saving up aggressively again. It's been a decade so I can't remember all of the details but...
We had something close to $120k in cash at the bank...and I was working in GA, she was working in VA, but we still lived in NC (and the NC/VA border). And my job was underground so no cell service (this was also before WIFI calling on cells was common)...her job just didn't have coverage. Anyway -- when I came back above ground...my phone lit up with missed calls and voicemails from the bank. So I log into my acct and there was something like $50k missing. Listen to the voice mails and it was the bank trying to verify some transfers.
I called the bank and they were like...oh well...we saw this transaction come through...we tried to call you...but since we couldn't reach you...we authorized it for your convenience. I lost my shit! They transferred me to this dept and this dept and this dept and they were like...30+ day investigation yada yada yada. I said hell no!! and talked to the next supervisor...then the next...then the next..then the manager...then the next....
They gave me a $30k credit that day...and promised to have the rest back by the end of the week.
It was eventually resolved -- but I closed all my accounts with them over it.
