Can you imagine how offended you'd be if these were serious payments and the bank suggested you were joking? I have a mental image of a jihadist having an meltdown because their bank didn't take them seriously.

- Sounds like an outtake from 4lions
  
  Can I have ten bottles of bleach please?
Like the actual taliban would label their payments this way.
- Your right perhaps they'd use "Completely legitimate non-taliban misc expenses"
- Well their requirement for looking into it is probably not restricted to "payments with labels referencing the taliban" but something more broad.
I used to write a check to my room mate and then she would write the rent check to the landlord. My checks to her always said "For: Sexual favors and drugs ;)" No one contacted us.
- I've been doing this for decades. I find raunchy copypasta and put it in the notes section of etransfers. Nobody is investigating something because of what's in the notes field.
I marked my rent payments to my roommate with "Cocaine and Hookers", went on for years but his bank complained one day too.
Funny to imagine if the banks managers were actually using our money for exactly that, but marked as company expenses instead.
UK even making you pay for a jihad license now.
- TV license, Jihad license, whats next? Terrorist bomb threat license?
  
  Oi, you got a loisones for that nuke your carrying?
  
  You didn’t pay for the terrorist bomb threat license?? Well too bad, no bomb threats for you!
  
  License license. Cant have you carrying a license while unlicensed now, can we.
I've heard people doing this and then getting black listed from the entire banking system. Can't open bank accounts, access any credit, and the banks don't have to tell you why you're blacklisted. It's supposed to be very very difficult to undo.
- Would be good to have a source on that instead of rumors.
  
  Can’t speak to this exactly, but it also happens to fraudsters and the like, after a few bad checks/transfers at different places and you are basically blacklisted from banking, literally no one will open you an account as they all seem to use same backend for fraud review known as ChexSystems Wiki here, iirc since it handles Credit but is not one of the “Big 3” they have to supply your report at request but only by mail request.
- You havent truly lived unless you've been personally sanctioned by the international banking cartel.
- Or if you're Dantes, "in-game, of course"
"Jihad Fee" is so funny, I just love it.
the so called freedom fighters on the right when i make a $500 wire transfer with the description "supplies for firebombing majorie taylor greene's home on october 29th, 2027"
Next check: definitely NOT for “ISIS Training “ 😉😉
This is almost as hilarious as Matt Gaetz marking Tuition or School on his Venmo payments to kids
- Except the investigation into him can get brushed aside...
Such prudes.
People hate fun.
Almost seems like a bad idea to allow private companies to decide arbitrary criteria which they could block you from using the financial system (which is required to survive in a capitalist economy).
- In the US, there's federal laws that ban using the banking system to fund terrorism. The bank would be legally compelled to investigate. This looks like it's likely in the UK, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have similar laws.
