I have just been to my local UB (not branch where account is held) to get a bank draft for just over EUR1000. They advised me that they would need the okay from the account mgr in the "holding branch". I have sufficient funds (without going overdrawn) - is this standard proceedure? If so move to rant forum, as wife went to local BOI last week (non-a/c branch) - got BD for EUR6500 just with passport.
