It is good to note that according to Financieel Dagblad, the "money laundering" checking is considered as going way too far. However, banks are afraid to complain because of what they call "the long arm of the central bank", which I translate as bureaucratic intimidation and debatable conduct. However, I may be slightly prejudiced by an incident where a bank branch manager told me in my face that, as I lived in France, I couldn't open a savings account for my Dutch children in the Netherlands because I was (fact, not supposition) laundering money and the bank did not wish to help me doing that.
