In Germany there are limits you could get per day via ATM: 1000 Euro within Germany and 500 Euro outside Germany. Some banks have got weekly limits. When you want to have a higher ammount of cash the same day you have to tell your bank beforehand and you have to identify yourself when you receive it. If you want to have cash > 15K Euros your bank has to register this and save it for 5 years. If you try to receive money above 15 K in more than one transfer into your account (smurfing) this also may get checked and information saved by the bank. Data of each transaction is saved. This is supposedly because of money laundering. :/ Most probably the criminals already know how to avoid these rules globally. Our rules rules are in place for years.
No structuring rules like in US (yet) when you want to draw money out of your account. But the topic to remove cash completely already popped up lately. Let's see what "they" do here next. Thanks for the warning.

The same here interest rate nearly zero but overdraft is high.
Take care of yourself. Do not let the bad guys get you.

lainey said:I understand how frustrating that must be. Overdraft fees here in the UK are ridiculous, how is anyone meant to be able to afford to pay a fine for going in their overdraft when they obviously don't have the money? It gives me the rage too.
