Title: Bank run
Post by: sayulita on February 06, 2014, 11:17:55 AM
I apologize if this has been posted already. I just came across this info, and it might be of value to some.

It appears Chase Bank has rolled out a new policy which is restricting businesses from wire transferring large amounts of money out of the USA,possibly as an early attempt to thwart a coming run on the bank.

Additionally, since it is "Bank run" related, I thought I would post this video from the past of Rothbard giving a speech years ago. (A very wise and entertaining man).

This is very old news, and was nothing to do with a 'run on the bank', but was an effort to force business to switch to higher-fee account types.

I would disagree that Nov of last year is very old news.

Additionally, how do you know that this is not an effort to stem a bank run?

When Chase will accept an unlimited amount of cash as a deposit, and then restrict that same client to amounts of $50,000 being withdrawn......I would say "read between the lines". They are trying to prevent a bank run.

The story is from October. Almost four months ago. In cryptocurrency terms, that is a very long time.

They will allow you to withdraw whatever you want, as long as you pay for a more premium account.
I would say that is a way of screwing more fees out of their customers.
Perhaps if you got your news from a slightly less biased site?

I was just trying to share info I felt was valuable to those who had yet to hear it. If you know it all already, good for you. Perhaps others are not as well informed as yourself.

Yes, the multitude of unreasonable restrictions Chase  has introduced over the last 4 months has been quite concerning. Yep,  I'd upgrade my account: to another bank.

I had already heard this, but I think a more notable thing to look into would be several banking professionals "committing suicide" (or possibly being killed) in the last week.  Also I read about a Harvard economist who does not tryst Bank of America, so he withrdrew his entire $1million from his checking account.

Does it mean it's not possible to wire transfer large sum of money out of your chase account?  I've only heard of 10,000+ reporting requirement.. this is news to me..  ???

Do you have a BusinessSelect Checking or BusinessClassic Checking account?
Those are the account types affected by the November limit.
