Thank you for your reply, absolutely no question of money laundering here but this causes further concern. When you say account closure do you mean that I might have a fight to withdraw savings etc?

AML from a bank perspective covers a pretty wide range on things – essentially something out of the ordinary they need to investigate to protect themselves. If they closed your account they would give you notice and wouldn’t/couldn’t withhold money of their own volition.
