    I went to my local community bank to withdraw $4,000 to purchase a used car. I was told I could only withdraw $2,000 per day. I said, "ok, I'll be back tomorrow for another 2k and the day after that for another 2k and the day after that until all my cash is out of your bank." I got a call from the bank manager after I got home and he explained that they were worried about a bank run. I told him that limiting access to the people's own money will cause exactly what he was trying to avoid and I was going to tell everyone I knew. He told me to come back in and I could have the rest of the money I needed.

      That happened to me once. ONLY ONCE. I asked them plenty of times. I also had to make a large purchase and the seller refused to come to my bank to get a cashier's check. I wanted them to come so they knew it was real. They only wanted cash. I called the corporate office and kept going higher and higher up. No one would authorized it. So I told them I was calling the police. I then calmly walked outside and called the police. The police came and I told them the bank would not give me my money. They went in and came out and helped me file a police report. The next day, my debit card did not work. They closed my account. i called them. Reason stated they felt I was a danger to employees. I did not even yell or scream. So they sent me a cashiers check in the mail for my balance and basically told me in the nicest way possible to not come back. To this day, when I am doing business, I do not accept credit cards, debit cards, or checks from that bank from my clients or customers. Sorry.

      I’m seeing tour comment five months after your post, but I had the same exact feeling about Harry. He is very authentic, very believable. I very much enjoy the topics that @SilverDragons addresses, but I very much appreciate Harry‘s input on the coin shop side of things.
      Still, the banking industry on the whole is very questionable in my mind. Yes, they have a lot of regulations to follow, yet they also create a lot of oversight and governance that favors them, as well. In fact, if you go back several hundred years the so-called financiers (aka bankers) have ALWAYS had favorable governance. To wit, You can go back to the tea party incident in Boston in the 1700s where the financiers were a major player behind that event . And look what that created! 😏
      Bottom line, yes, I agree with Harry in that banks have every right and reason to charge fees to remain profitable. But I don’t trust them; I don’t trust the influence they have over governmental legislation and regulations. Just don’t.

      Forcing people to move into or out of certain currency or money would also be part of profit/loss schemes. It's not crazy if it's actually happening. BASIL 3 plan does make gold a tier 1 asset, so we're kinda safe with that. Never forget that the government made the US people turn in their gold in 1933 and made it illegal to hold until 1974.

      people act on ego, lust and wrath just as much as greed. its short sighted in my opinion to think that all of this is simply for economic reasons. if nothing else control is a partial explanation. I believe it puts to much faith in raw human rationality to think we would not be animalistic and act on lower instincts, remember we are animals, and animals hunt for fun, often. if anything i believe this overly logical and rational explanation is a projection of the part of its believers.
      Gold and Silver and then cash are not credit, they can not be as easily manipulated or rather stolen from. the people making these decisions do not see money as yourself or i do. they see money not as a tool but rather their entire world view. Money to them is a way of life a religion with rituals. Perhaps not numerous, there are absolutely individuals whom take personal offence to anyone trying to wield the power of capital. i want you to think back to when bitcoin and Crypto currency was becoming so popular years back. there were individuals both in government and the private sector that were feverishly enraged, drumming up stories of how this would allow the very worst of America to compromise our country. making claims that only psychopathic hate groups, child predators and the drug cartel would benefit from the advent of this new and dangerous technology.
      yet none of that was true. it was all irrational fear and anger, fear of losing control, of losing power, in addition to the palpable feelings of disgust, and personal offense that anyone would dare create a currency system parallel to their own.
      Recognizing human nature is not crazy, I would argue ignoring it would be.

      you pay a fee to offset this cost and provide them a profit

    I worked in banking two decades ago and the attitude towards cash was still similar. Banks don't want to keep too much cash on hand not out of concern about a bank run but because of liability - they want to keep their insurance rates low and one way to do that is limit how much they could lose in the event of a robbery. Also banks generally don't want the liability of dealing with cash heavy businesses not just because of the increased risk of robbery but also cash heavy businesses require more paperwork and reporting because of various anti-money laundering laws.

    Harry is a very reasoned person when he talks about the cash issue. Banks have been changing their procedures on cash for some time, but it is only now becoming more apparent to us here in the USA. A few years back when there was a financial crisis in Europe, banks started charging customers a small percentage for parking money in money market accounts. The simple answer was that they had too much cash on hand and were restricted in what they could do with it. Cash is becoming inconvenient and takes employees to handle it, which Harry discusses. My banks main branch in a city of 100,000 people now only has two tellers normally. This is in an office with six teller windows that at one time were all staffed. The offices once occupied by financial advisors are only used by appointment. Covid put the nail in the coffin so to speak with people working from home and it is unlikely to go back to the good old days. Cash is on the way out for many reasons, some of them not good, but I doubt there is anything we can do to stop it. The best we can do is put the correct people in State and Federal offices and trust them to do the right thing, instead of restrict what we can buy.

Anyway, the bank placed a hold on the check for two weeks. Their excuse was that, based on available information, the check was not likely to clear. Something like that.

      It's partially about them covering their costs but it's also partly because they want to disincentivize people from doing business in large amounts of cash because it can raise the risk profile of the bank which causes the amount they pay in insurance premiums to the FDIC to increase which is the real cost to the banks since it's a % of their total deposits.

    • @BlaubartMT
      @BlaubartMT Рік тому +1

      They don't hate it per se, it's just business. When I deposit cash and then write a check, the bank has to send money, either electronically or physically, to the Federal Reserve to cover that check. Not everything is electronic, so eventually, they'll have to send physical money. When they do, the armored car companies charge them a fee which is typically a combination of weight and value. Send a lot of pennies, pay a lot of money percentage wise. Send a lot a 100's, pay a lot of money due to the liability involved. What I do believe though, is with the current interest rates, they should be able to earn money from deposits and not have to charge money for cash transactions. I had an account at US Bank that was charging me cash deposit fees, so I switched banks to one that doesn't charge any such fees, and has lower money transfer fees too.

    Another reason banks might close accounts that have a lot of cash deposits and withdrawals are the money laundering laws. The banks want to be very careful not to violate those laws since the penalties are stiff. They would rather chase away legitimate customers then take that risk.

    Old Norm MacDonald Joke: "Ya know I went to the bank the other day to make a deposit into my account. I handed the teller the the deposit slip and the checks, and she then asked me for ID. I said...I'm making a deposit, what do you need my ID for? She said that's bank policy. So I asked her 'You mean people are trying to put money in my account...and you're stopping them?" 😄

  • @IrelandVonVicious
    @IrelandVonVicious Рік тому +2

    That part at the end is wrong. The banks are actively going against cash for private citizens.
    They just don't do it to their own customers. They do it to anyone who tries to cash a check from their customers.
    Want to cash the check someone gave you from their bank it's a ten dollar fee and you don't even bank there.
    So when someone tries to use a check I tell them to add the ten dollars or pay a different way.
    I expect the IOU to actually give me the amount they owe.

    I have a liberty safe and lost the code last year. It was very convenient to request my code. It was not a back door code, it was the original code. They did not hide the fact that you could request your code. It is just a form you fill out. While I don't agree with giving the FBI the code, it was not like the hid the fact they have them. There are problems; what if the company database was hacked and all codes got out. For me it just didn't matter for my use case.
    Liberty has since changed their policy to allow you to remove your code from their db. As well as be more strict with requests from the law enforcement.
    They addressed the issues and I think Liberty still makes a good gun safe. IMO.

  • @sportclay1
    @sportclay1 Рік тому +1

    The safest way to prevent the safe companies from giving out a master / backdoor code is a mechanical /analog lock. That being said , if the law enforcement agency has a warrant they will get entry into the safe by any means. Liberty has done this thousands of times I suspect without ever actually seeing a warrant . Ask any locksmith or safe technician what they have to repair more of, mechanical or digital locks. They usually have boxes of bad electronic locks.

At a branch that has 1 teller and half a dozen machines to pay in and withdraw money.

      Coin dealers often have to place orders with wholesalers, where they have to pay money by check, wire transfer, or ACH. So a dealer will sell items for cash, deposit most of that cash, and then use the money in the account to place an order. It's rare when in person buying and selling in cash is balanced to the point where a dealer won't have to go through a bank.

    another cost angle may be the bank complying with anti-money laundering laws. handling cash increases their compliance workload and exposure to fines and penalties. They probably factor in these costs when evaluating accounts. I worked at commercial banks and the federal reserve and EVERYBODY has to take money laundering classes even if you have nothing to do with transactions (for example, admin assistants and computer support people)

    The Banks in the UK and Ireland have been charging customer to bank with them for years now. They also charge a fee to deposit cash as well as put limits on how much cash you can lodge into your account. These limits have only been introduced in 2023. Its costing me from £5 to £10 every time I lodge cash, depending on the amout I lodge. There's a £250 limit per day via the post office. This is causing me real problems and I've even been charged late fees because of these limits. Ive never been late paying until now.

    So as a former bank teller… the point about ordering cash and a wait of 3 days does make sense, in some regards. You would think after obtaining this particular customer, you would ask for an increase of the back stock for cash from the feds. Most people don’t know but the bank you go to, orders cash from the Fed’s and then also ships them cash when over their “suggested” reserves. We would hand count 200k every week to ship out and receive 150k in other denominations like 5s, 10s coins for change.. whatever and ship out the excess notes. But as a branch manager you would assume they would take into account their new customer and change their shipments accordingly

  • @brianerrickson6584
    @brianerrickson6584 Рік тому +2

    I work for a bank (east coast based, so not familiar with west coast banking regulations) and a lot of this information is factual. Banks are "assessed" on how much cash they should have on hand every day. Therefore, most banks don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars on hand at any given time. That explains why Harry has to place an order for a large withdrawal. And Harry's type of business is considered a "high risk" business which most likely factors in for the high fees. I don't necessarily agree with that but it is the regulation. Any transaction involving $10,000 in cash (deposit/withdrawal) requires a CTR (currency transaction report). Although every bank has their own regulation in which they do their own report, usually less than the CTR limit. Harry is right, with the liability of employees and miscalculations of cash can cause an issue for banks so it does increase expenses, however the increased "armored car service" i find hard to believe unless it's a local/smaller bank.
