As long as it is not about large amounts and there are no other risks of money laundering, people no longer have to expect any extra questions. Also, a transaction with a 200 -euro ticket is no longer immediately a reason for banks to ask questions.
According to the banks, their requests for information and documentation are now often experienced as annoying. Yet they must be extra alert with cash transactions. In sectors where there is a higher risk of money laundering, little changes.
