Do you need a valid, up to date visa in order to withdraw money from your bank account?

I was at Phillips 2 weeks ago and withdrew money and also reset my app password and they just confirmed my passport, no visa check. I do know that the ATMs for my ABA account have never asked me for my visa for withdrawals or deposits.

They copied his visa and he had to sign it. I wonder if Western Union does this too. That might affect the Nigerian community who sometimes get cash by Western Union/Moneygram and sometimes have overstayers.
if your Visa is valid i dont see why people would have a problem enough to complain on Facebook, if your Visa isnt up to date, i think theyve got bigger problems to deal with

This, kind of a non issue really. Just don't overstay

I withdrew three grand from Acleda this morning and deposited it into my ABA account.

No ID required. No notice in ABA about any change in their rules.

I don't see how they would enforce this on ATM withdrawals.

I suppose they could register the visa expiry date and link it to your account.

I agree with cautious colin. It is a non issue, Why wouldn't you have an up to date visa? I mean lets face it anyone without a visa i.e. an overstayer is highly unlikely to have anything left in the bank to withdraw anyway and if they do it is probably a good idea the bank hangs onto it o pay the overstay fines they are racking up. :stir:

This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know of a bank where you can open a savings account with a tourist visa?

Canadia and Acleda don't even require I.D. let alone a current visa.

Edit: Unless of course they've changed their rules over the past couple of months.
