I get those calls from my local (Canadian) branch, and I've noticed a correlation with having an unusually large balance. (In fact, I'm expecting such a call in the next few days since I have a new car worth of cash in my account.) It's usually almost immediately apparent that they want to "help" me invest, aka. buy their high fee mutual funds.
Alas, I don't think Tarsnap has ever had such calls from my bank -- I guess it doesn't keep enough cash for them to consider it an exceptional small business account -- but I have had such calls from PayPal... interestingly, not correlated with anything I've noticed, so maybe PayPal is just calling everyone in Tarsnap's volume range on a schedule. Similarly, I get regular "check in" emails from AWS... the most recent one offering a discount ticket to re:invent.
I don't think I've ever had any such calls from Stripe. Now I'm starting to feel unappreciated!
