In the course of finally closing the banking relationship with Sparkasse Schwaz, I decided to take out 100k EUR of the remaining balance via purported currency converters Currencyfair, to CHF and on to a CHF bank account. Starting out a year ago as gold at UBS, before UBS closed my account for not yet having an Austrian TIN, and then encountering Sparkasse Schwaz's comically-mishandled compliance ordeal, these funds are now some way through a "compliance cascade", and the costs of pleading to keep them long-ago exceeded their nominal value.
