Meanwhile in Finland:

My local bank refuses to give out more than EUR 10,000 in cash to me. The stated reason is Easter. Then I ask, "okay, 10,000 more next week?". Answer: "Nope."

They advice me to go to other branches in the same city, so that I could take out the 20k I wanted. <- Note, it was not even big sum I was asking for.

I regularly visit them and take out several 100,000s a year in cash, so it is not that there is any "suspicious activity" rule that they are enforcing.
