I've made a few large transfers from Santander in the last few years, paying off my mortgage and transferring part of our Mother's estate to my sister.
On both occasions I was stopped from doing the transfers on line and had to go through a telephone process involving two members of the bank's staff. I was asked to confirm the nature of the payments and that I was sure I wasn't being pressured or wanted time to think.
Short of refusing me the right to transfer money from my own account they could not have done more.
Even transferring more modest amounts on line and to payees I've used before there are ample prompts to stop/think.
