My bank was involved with the LIBOR scandal but they won't let my wife pay small amounts of cash into my account just in case we're up to something dodgy.
If I temporarily have a large amount of cash in the account then they send me brochures trying to lure me into some premium 'exclusive' club which feels more than slightly greasy.
I would switch banks but it's a lot of hassle. Plus I don't get the sense that any of them would be working for me. They're working for the regulator, or for the forces of darkness, or for someone else.
