Not sure about all banks, but my bank will not wire funds based on a phone call from me. I have since visited them and set up a method where this can be accomplished, which took filing the necessary paperwork. I now have a special verification code that I can use to initiate a wire transfer.
Ya, I suspect this varies by bank and even by branch. Have known our local banker for many years and many "higher end" transactions. Yes, I give them a heads up if headed out to look at a motorhome or boat. But, after that, it is just a phone call away.
I would not expect (or want) to be able to call up a different branch of our same bank and expect an over the phone transfer.
Like in most businesses, personal contact counts.
