Default Re: How big of a deal?

As an ex-banker (28 years in the industry), I can tell you that this is because of a liability issue. In the past, banks have been sued by customers who have made large cash withdrawals and then been mugged. Of course, it was the banks fault for allowing them to take so much cash. Hence the offer to provide an escort. It's called CYA.
