Chase! It must have been a while ago, because today Chase blocks your account at the mere whiff of anything non-standard going on. And I do mean "anything", being out of the country definitely qualifies. They also shoot first and ask questions later, so your wire transfers will get cancelled or your entire account blocked with incoming transfers bouncing (what is amazing is that the amount that bounces is less $50 that they take for the bouncing service, fun!). My last wire transfer was "cancelled" by their anti-fraud people, and after calling them and identifying myself extensively, I was told that I am to show up at my local branch with two forms of ID. Yes, the same two forms of ID that they've already seen. Kind of difficult if you are out of the country. American banks are something else entirely.
