Has anyone had a frank discussion with their bank manager?

As "manufacturers" know, the biggest problem with this hobby is that, by moving money around, it can look like you're doing something illegal. Has anyone just gone to their bank manager and explained what they're doing and why?

The obvious problem in doing so is that the manager will somehow think your behavior is risky or wrong, and not want your business. My hunch is that it would take a certain type of manager -- and perhaps a long-term banking relationship with that manager -- to gain his trust and approval.

Any experiences with this approach?
