“Recently in England, there was an uproar among customers of the HSBC bank when it ‘imposed a restriction blocking customers from withdrawing large amounts of money from their own accounts, unless they could provide the bank with a ‘good reason’ for it.’ It’s highly likely that HSBC’s issues go far deeper than a capricious desire to inconvenience customers. But it underscores a very uncomfortable fact: When you deposit money into a bank, you relinquish control over it. You have, in fact, made a loan to the bank. And short of calling the loan by closing the account, the bank (not you) gets to decide when – and if – they will pay you back.”
