Honestly I just thought that was the way banking was done. I don't send a lot of wires (and everybody else I have dealt with were even worse).

it is the way banking is done, these other people are believing the promises that their black platinum club card entitles them to be whisked along a red carpet no matter what they want to do
If you go off the rails a bit, it does get pretty muddy.

That said, even wiring 6-7 figures isn’t a big deal as long as it’s normal for your account and there are some basic security things setup.

None of the several banks I regularly do business with have ever done anything like that, I probably average a dozen substantial wires per year.

I have had some call backs from their anti-fraud department after putting in a wire request to make sure I wasn't falling for some scam.
