Ooh, are we doing economist jokes?? (Disclamer: I have a degree in economics.)
Joke the first:
Two men go for a hot air balloon ride across the English countryside. They have a lovely morning drifting over the fields and hedgerows until a freak storm pops in and blows them badly off course, leaving them lost. Wondering how on Earth they'll get back back on course, they see a man standing down on a road below them.
The first balloonist shouts down, "HALOOOOOOOOO, SIR?? COULD YOU KINDLY TELL US WHERE WE ARE?"
The man down below yells up, "OF COURSE! YOU'RE IN A BALLOON!" And then he waves pleasantly and walks off.
The second balloonist says to the first, "That man must be an economist."
"Why?", asks the second.
"Because everything he said was completely accurate and yet utterly useless."
---------------------------------------
Joke the second:
Three econometricians go hunting and they spot a large, incredibly oblivious deer about fifty yards ahead of them in the forest. The first econometrician takes careful aim with his rifle, but he is a hopeless sportsman and his shot is wide left by three feet. The second econometrician lines up for his turn, but misses three feet to the right. The third econometrician immediately leaps up and down, shouting, "WE GOT IT! WE GOT IT!"

Call USAA and see what they say.
Depending on your banking needs we use M&T and Chase for our businesses and I use USAA for personal.

After talking to him again apparently he has usaa, miscommunication, and a suprise since he doesn't bank with them to my knowledge
Locally we have just tiny banks and unions, so slim pickings, none of the national brands but I bet some of these you can use other banks out of. Arvest, rcb , red crown.

Most of the big banks you never really need to go to a physical branch. I never set foot in Chase or M&T after initial account setup. I do everything online

Dealing with sums of cash like that is getting harder and harder in today's world. Moat branches just dont keep cash like that. They ask for 24 hours notice for sums in excess of 5k in mamy places.

Got some SPY re-buy orders out there for the ~390 level. (Sold off a good chunk at the 431 level (200DMA)).
Of course leaving plenty of firepower for adds lower. Wouldn't be surprised at all to get some revisions down ahead of earnings as recession risk starts setting in.

10:47 (US) Market Trading Hours Summary: Ominous investment landscape confronts markets heading into September
Summary: Risk appetite remained suppressed by a host of factors coming into today’s session. Rates continued to rise globally despite signs of economic weakness, while US stocks look headed for a fifth straight day of declines. PMI readings outside the US continued to point to contraction, while a fresh Covid lockdown in one of China’s largest cities fanned concerns that supply chain constraints will continue to feed inflation. Once again, the US dollar benefited, pushing the dollar index to another 20+ year high. The US 2-year yield broke above 3.5% for the first time in 15 years. Geopolitical worries abound as Russia’s maintenance on Nord Stream 1 continued to halt the flow of gas into Europe, while officials there prepare to announce logistics for a Russian oil price cap. US semiconductor stocks fell after Nvidia disclosed the US govt has imposed a new license requirement, effective immediately, for any future export of high-end chips into China and Russia. - Source TradeTheNews.com
