Banks are very paranoid about criminals using their system, to the point that a slight suspicion triggers their internal police.
That's mandated by laws, government agencies and, to a very large extent, by the public. Look up HN discussions when HSBC got a small-ish fine for not doing enough to stop mexican drug cartels from giving them business. We were demanding jail time for everyone involved.
