This isn't a Ukrnian phenoma, trust me. No matter what country you are in, if you are not a citizen, the banks will treat you as a criminal / person of interest unless proven otherwise.
You should've seen me trying to cash my 1st check in South Africa - I was interrogated for half an hour and after that a supervisor was called, who interrogated me for another half an hour. Pretty mich the same happened to me when I tried opening a bank account in England more than ten years ago.
