Are you certain you've told your bank you are not American, or have anything to do with the USA?

They get serious, unfriendly reporting requirements with American customers. A friend in Denmark had similar trouble, until the bank realised he'd misunderstood/ignored a letter they'd sent him asking him to confirm his citizenship.

Yeah, that incident was with a bank I knew many years, and they know me well. The manager told me "we do this for everyone now, compliance and regulation is just like this now". This is the new normal...
