The bank flat out refused at first, the teller at the counter did, then the manager came out and asked him why he wanted it, and then told him it was safer "in the bank anyway". He argued, a lot, she eventually gave him $3k and said that was the limit. He called the customer service line and told them what happened, and he had to get them to force the branch manager to give him $10k, which took a couple days (understandable, and that used to be the policy, you could order in as much as you wanted, but it would just take a few biz days to get it in). Stupid, but that's what they've been doing in my father's city in SK at least.
