Edit: ok, it's crypto. See posts bellow somewhere

Can you say something about the sums? I (in germany) got my rent money every month from my parents while I was a student. No problem. I withdraw something like 100€ per week for bars, backeries and other small expenses and I never ever had any problems.

It buffles me that so many people are jumping to conclusions although you provided so little context.

If you have a cash inflow of 50k per month and withdrow that much, the bank may think you pay people in cash, avoiding taxes (like on construction sites). Which is totaly legit IMO. But again, you gave almost no context..

My current problem is crypto related, but the main problem is that banks care if you use cash and will ask about it. I find it unreasonable.

Many banks have been blocking crypto transactions because it's the main currency of choice for organised crime to move money across borders in the modern era. My bank has sent me a message telling me that they will block any transaction they think is related to crypto, and if I want to use crypto I'm free to use other banks. Simple.

I think that's their choice. They can make that decision, and it's fine.

Why do you think you are entitled to demand a private enterprise allows you to use their services in any way you see fit without asking you questions?

Worth noting that it's mandatory to interact with a private bank in order to participate in the modern society.

Want to receive your salary? You need a bank.

Do you need to pay rent? You need a bank.

Do you want to receive social welfare? You need a bank.

As unfortunate as it is, banks have become a dependency for modern day living.

I don't think that is true, at least not EU wide. I frequently (have to) use cash and I was never flagged by any of my banks or had to provide any sort of receipts for my transactions, not the local one and not the international ones. The only exception was the sale of my car, as the transaction exceeded 10k, I had to provide a short explanation, which in my case was the purchasing agreement.

I am really curious how this has proven to be an issue for you or if this is just another banks bad crpyto thing?

>Which is totaly legit IMO

I do not know any jurisdiction in which intentionally avoiding tax is legal.

I meant it's legit that the bank gets suspicous. Sorry I'm not a native speaker
