Thread: Purchasing binoculars internationally - harassed by bank?

Sure, query the payment if needed, but I still dont think it is any of the banks business what its usage is. It would be interesting to know 1. Why they are asking, 2. on whos instruction, 3.what happens to the information after you have told them (ie, do they pass it onto the police?). Could it be considered against the privacy act to even ask? They are a bank, not a detective agency or a cop shop.

I find it odd for them to ask. I would be querying it before disclosing any info - the usage is irrelevant.
