> Actually, a bank is obligated to report suspicious activity, no warrant is needed.

Warrants are issued all the time.

You're erroneously assuming that banks can detect all possible suspicious activity on their own.

You're right, that's probably not possible to begin with.

However, if a bank spots patterns, which don't smell quite right they are obliged by law to report it to regulators.

Another reason why Deutsche is yet again in so much hot water[1]. Essentially they refused to report suspicious activities, which was flagged by a compliance officer.
