I do survey, mylot and other online activities and have paypal account. One day I transfer my paypal into bank and the bank ask me where am I getting my money from. After told them they release the money to me. Why are they doing so, its my money afterall.

Sometimes the bank asks me weird questions and I was upset. Recently they asked me what is my employment. Why does it concern you. I do not have a loan, owe them any money or anything.

@wongchoiyee I am sure they're just verifying though as they are maybe unfamiliar with online earnings. Hopefully they will not give you anymore problems in the future.

@wongchoiyee Yes, a Chinese resident can open a bank account there. Actually if you have money, you are free to open a bank account in any countries

I think it is just their way to make sure that the money is really yours. In today's world many bad people get wiser and smarter just to be able to steal money from other people. Whenever they ask me questions, I just answer it. There is no choice but to give them the answer or else I will not have my money or the information I am asking for.

Its for verification purposes as the bank is following the antimoney laundering act. It's just a basic protocol for financial institutions.

It's sad the bank had to ask that question, I'd be furious if the bank does that to me.

What's the name of that bank? Why did hey ask you that. It's your money, so they have no right to ask you where it came from.

I withdraw my PayPal funds in Bitcoin and I also filled up online form where we should input the source I just wrote "internet blogging" income.
I remember when I opened a dollar savings account I had to input the source too. I just wrote sales/referral "commissions". .
They just want to make sure our money came from LEGAL activities and we are not involve in terrorism.
