Usually withdrawal slips are not used for such high amounts. You request to speak to the bank manager about the account and go to a private office.

I've worked with corporations in accounting and banks like WF/BOA actually have private business offices where they take high profile clients. These are unidentified SEPARATE facilities from the public walk-in-from-the-street banks that you see publicly identified. Unfortunately if you've never worked in the situation (as a low level financial peon sent to get cash) or come from a wealthy background, you wouldn't know about that either.

Agree, but even so, anyone can walk in and request to go to a private office. Even if you do not know the procedure. I'm just a regular nobody and I've done it a few times.

So, “if you do not know the procedure” how would you even know that such a procedure is even possible? In order to ask for something, it would help to know that it’s there.

The teller —or whoever she consulted — had his account information and had or could have asked for his ID. At any point, someone from the bank could have said that for a sizable withdrawal or for the privacy that he might prefer, a manager can handle this in an office. And they could have introduced him to the manager and taken him to that office.
It’s wild how so many people are working very hard to twist this so that it’s somehow Mr Coogler’s fault that multiple people who should have been working on Mr. Coogler’s behalf screwed up royally.

I think it's safe to assume she had his ID because she started the transaction. Which makes it even worse. And if she started the transaction without his ID that is also her screw-up. I want to know if she was fired.

I was thinking that. No teller does a withdrawal transaction without seeing an ID

This might have already been addressed but when I’ve done transactions at B of A, all that I’ve needed was my ATM or debit card and password for identification. In my earlier comment, I was suggesting that bank staff could have also asked for ID — such as a driver’s license— if they needed additional proof of Mr Coogler’s identify and right to make a sizable cash withdrawal from his own account.

It's sickening that this has to be repeated again and again.

Oh please not what this is about which we keep telling you.

The f it is! You don't get to tell everyone else what the facts are. Authoritarian much?

That's funny because my local bank has to see my id if I pull out much, much smaller amounts and they know me.

Yes a Black pregnant Bank Teller. She fu&ked up. Apparently, she was processing the transaction and some sort of alert popped up on her screen because of the amount. So instead of calling her supervisor over to deal with the alert, she told her supervisor he was robbing the bank. The cops investigated and said she was at fault.

What an idiot.

He's the idiot. Look at the photos.

He should have asked to speak to the bank manager. This wasn't about race.

Plus you could barely read the note. Poor bank teller was already panicked when he passed that to her. She was pregnant, I don't believe they fired her thankfully.

My brother work in construction $12,000 isn’t even a lot of cash.

They did ask for his ID and he gave it to them.

It varies by bank, or, at least my experiences do. At some banks I’ve been able to do anything at a teller window that I can do at an ATM with just my ATM card, although they’ll ask for an ID for larger withdrawals than the ATM will allow. At other banks, it seems to depend on the transaction. I can make a deposit without any ID at all, even to someone else’s account, but need ID to make a withdrawal.

And Today I Learned: about the manager’s office option. Who knew?

Thanks for the info. I didn’t realize that when I made my initial comment. That makes this even more perplexing, since they not only had the documents they needed, they had multiple opportunities for someone to recognize his name.💡

And I have been profiled, as a Black woman, by a Black woman at Bank of America. I needed a cashiers check to send to my 401k. The sheer number of hoops I had to jump through to get MY money that I had deposited was crazy. The kicker was when she told me the signature that I used didn’t match the one that I used when I opened the account. In 1997. It was 2020. Mind you - the signature that she questioned was ABSOLUTELY in their system because I had used it many, many times to deposit and withdraw money after I got married.

Y’all are acting like she didn’t profile this man because SHE was Black. Pro tip: that means nothing when it comes to being profiled.

I don't believe it's true. I posted upthread about asking for help in this situation and being directed to the teller. My local bank has 4 rooms that are usually empty.

I’m a Black woman in my mid-40s. I know when I am being profiled, and I know when people are just being jerks. It took nearly an hour to get a check that should have taken five minutes from a bank account I’d had for over 20 years that I had cycled over a million dollars in and out of. Be real. PS - sometimes YOU are profiled and are unaware. The answer isn’t always: she was having a bad day, or some people are just jerks.
