Title: Cash deposit for bitcoins, initial required?
Post by: toysoldier1 on March 10, 2012, 10:18 pm
Went in to bank to do a cash deposit for bitcoins.  The teller at the bank said she required my initial.  I didnt know what to do, as I have done a cahs deposit before and no initial was required.   I made a fake initial.  What should I have done?  In hindsight I dont think I should have initialed anything?

Also, this was my second cash deposit at this bank, do you think that I have been flagged or something?  It seems wierd they would get me to initial it the second time and not the first.

They always ask me to initial.
I think it's required if your getting any cash back.

Also, it's possible that a site like get-bitcoin.com might check the initials against the name they were given.
Lastly, I don't think you raised any flags, but you might raise some flags if next time you give a different initial.

Oh, okay, cool.  I did ask to exchange a 20 dollar bill.   Im probobly okay then.

Ive used the same branch twice now.   Do you think I should use a different branch if I want to make another deposit?

They don't necessarily automatically recognize faces though.. and frankly i'd be more concerned if a bank didn't have CCTV.

I would move around to different branches anyways.  It's always good to mix things up.
