I had to drive to the bank yesterday, in -35 C weather, to plead them to increase my maximum e-transfer allowance per day & week, because I wasn’t able to do it online or over the phone for “security” reasons.

Once I arrived at the branch, despite my efforts, they only agreed to a limited increase, citing "my safety" as the reason. They adviced to write cheques for amounts that exceed the limit.

Ironically, I'm paying them to use "my" money, which they leverage tenfold, and they still dictate my transaction limits. They’ll also freeze my funds if I ever protest about something the Canadian government doesn’t like.

On a brighter note, the reason for this request was to increase my ability to acquire more sats through e-transfer.
