In the last years, I did few transfers between 30k to 70k from Interactive brokers to my Swiss bank account,
In each case, my bank asked me to provide proof of the fund (so an interactive brokers statement), they told me that the money came from a foreign risky country (the US?!) and it was a requirement from the FINMA to justify this kind of transaction.
Has anyone received the same requests?
I haven’t. I did only one transfer in this range from IBKR but there was no question from UBS at all. Most of my transfers to IBKR were from that UBS account, which could potentially make a difference.
Checking the account statement, my name is specified as sender, so the receiving bank can see that the transfer is between two accounts in my name, not from a third party. To me it seems rather odd that they request such proof for every (large) transfer from a broker.
Which bank? I’ve never encountered any issues or received such a request on my end.
Raiffeisen.
Also my case, the money was coming from the Raiffeisen account
A friend of mine had a terrible experience with an international transfer from Raiffeisen to Asia even though the transfer was much smaller and shouldn’t have been an issue at all. It’s stories like these where I’m happy to pay a few bucks for a competent compliance department.
The issue also is that the request is coming directly from the account manager, not the compliance departement.
Asking questions for the first big transfer from IBKR as part of KYC may not be unreasonable. However, repeated questions for further transfers from the same broker account (in your name, presumably) seem odd to me. Maybe he wants to convince you to invest with Raiffeisen instead 
My bank did the same, but differently. I closed my account at TrueWealth and transfered to my bank account. Bank employee told me, he can’t see who the originator was and therefore obliged to get confirmation from me. It’s some kind of finma regulation that changed this year or so for anything above 10k-ish up to 6 months later.
So it has nothing to do with IBKR as far as I tend to interpret your call from your bank.
Which is a correct statement, the money laundring law has been updated and the banks are required to check certain transactions in more detail.
This means more manual work for banks, which means more costs, which means that at some point banks have to pass this on to the customer.
I’m not sure if I like that, even if it’s correct that the state has an interest in money flowing legally (Me too, because I pay my taxes legally).
I just did my first withdrawal from IBKR to my Swiss bank account. Initiated the withdrawal at 7am and at 10am it was on my bank account - no questions asked. With CHF 4,000 the amount was rather low.
Uh, I can tell. Most banks had to increase manpower in the compliance department - so did my employer. So, while the number of relationship managers is more or less steady, much more has to be invested in the back office.
On a regular if not daily basis the relationship manager gets notifications on transactions or relationships which have to be checked (in most cases you have to get a proof, as e.g. a contract regarding a payment) and done within a short period of time.
So, beside your „normal“ work, in the past years compliance related topics have increased heavily - which is honestly a pain.
Fortunately, my customers are fine with that and do understand where this is coming from.
