Eh? 3pin security code. ?
You can set a d.d up online without entering any code/verification.
Over the phone too.
And then you're well within your rights to recieve a visit from the local police who'll start asking questions you can answer at best with "no comment"
:P
Only if it suspicious.
Some businesses will deposit over 5k in daily in cash, the obviously don't get reported every day.
Not quite as hard and fast as that. It's whether the money is suspicious or not. People at risk of money laundering (banks, solicitors etc) have to take steps to make sure that the source of the money is not suspicious before they do anything that could facilitate money laundering.
Curiously, if they don't it's the person who gets the criminal fine, not the company. Which is utterly fucking stupid. If I didn't grill my clients about where there money was from I could have been sent down for five years when I was a conveyancer. Completely proportionate, that isn't.
I find it quite scary how people already assume that any amount of cash is a bit dodgy. I pay nearly everywhere with cash, its much easier for budgeting, and every time I pay for my shopping with a wad of crisp twenties I get some really dirty looks from people. Cash won't be around much longer and then we're all at the mercy of the banks and the Government.
Sounds a bit Hand Maids Tale to me.
:yes:
True, if you turn up at the bank with a cheque or you are an accountant/buisnessman with regular large amounts of money coming into/out of your accounts all the time you probably won't be investigated.
If you turn up at the bank with a big bag of cash wanting to transfer £20,000 to an unnamed account in Switzerland without being able to prove where the money came from and where it's going, some questions might be asked.
Oh dear.
So, it's okay to steal from a rich person?
Duh, of course it is.
I think Jarvey has in his typical style, not just missed the point, but gone in the entirley opposite direction from the point.
I think Jeremy lerned a valuable lesson: Bank details. Don't give them out, kthx.
