For the last two weeks I have been trying to get $20K in cash of my own money out of my checking to pay for a car. After waiting several days for the Electronic transfer from my investment account to clear I went to the bank to make a cash withdraw. I was told I had to make an appointment because the amount was so large. When I asked how long I would have to wait for the appointment, the teller tried to call her boss, but she wasn't answering. I left because I had to try to cancel all the reservations I had made on the trailer, hotel, and insurance. I decided to make the trip to look at the car. Next day the seller and I agreed on a price and I gave him a deposit. The guy was super cool after I explained why I showed up without all the cash.
A day later I returned to the bank and asked for the appointment so I can get MY money in cash from MY checking. Now the bank Manager says I have to get an approval and that I needed proof (Bill of Sale) to show I was using the cash to buy a car. I told them I didn't need to tell them why I wanted the cash and I had no intention of getting them a BOS. Now I'm waiting for a call from the bank Manager to tell me when I can get my money, but it might be Monday.
For those of you that deal a lot with cash, have you ever had to go through such BS to get you money from your bank? Are there any institutions that will allow you to cash out a Cashiers check?
