A decision by a British banking giant to limit large cash withdrawals has some analysts worried that the financial institution, for some reason, is beginning to fear a run on money by the general public.
As reported by the BBC, a number of HSBC customers have recently been prevented from withdrawing larger sums because – and this is the disturbing part – “they could not provide evidence of why they wanted it.”

Listeners have told Radio 4’s Money Box they were stopped from withdrawing amounts ranging from 5,000 [pounds] to 10,000 [pounds].
HSBC admitted it has not informed customers of the change in policy, which was implemented in November.
