Can you imagine how offended you’d be if these were serious payments and the bank suggested you were joking? I have a mental image of a jihadist having an meltdown because their bank didn’t take them seriously.
The most unrealistic thing about this post is the bank not immediately blocking this user and dropping them from all banking services. Taking the time to investigate and not dropping the customer… Incredible
I think the bank is smart enough to understand they were probably drunk and joking, if they were actually performing terrorist acts with the funds then they wouldn’t label them so plainly. Closing someone’s bank can cause a lot of issues in their life so it is more fair to warn them first.
Like the actual taliban would label their payments this way.
UK even making you pay for a jihad license now.
I used to write a check to my room mate and then she would write the rent check to the landlord. My checks to her always said “For: Sexual favors and drugs ;)” No one contacted us.
