$650 is a lot of money. Yes, definitely have those checks. I'd rather they call and check and everything is fine, than they not call, and things not be fine.

Whether 650 is a lot or not is totally subjective. That's why banks normally have customer specific risk thresholds.
> $650 is a lot of money.

no. it really isn't.

650 dollar bills is a lot of singles, it could feed a man for a month or more, or provide enough gas to drive across the US, it must be a lot of money, but it's quickly lost when it comes to basic needs like housing, healthcare and education.
When you have $1m revenue on the same bank account, why would they ever care about $650.
For those saying it's not a lot of money, I shall gladly accept your donations. $650 would allow me to buy myself a new office chair, or sort out a DIY project. Sure, I can save for these things, but if it's an inconsequential amount for you - it's an amount of consequence for me.
