Definitely...I got a call from some branch of their compliance department asking what was going on with all the cash deposits (sounded like a precursor to a SAR) and told them the truth. This seems like it's what got my account canceled, but much better to tell the truth and lose a checking account than get a SAR and have to deal with that.
