Can customs see your bank account?


Can customs see your bank account? Yes, of course they can ask to see your bank account. And they can search your luggage, your cell phone, your social media accounts and your laptop computer too. The alternative, should you object to those searches, is to give up your attempt to enter the country and return home.


How do customs decide who to search?

They don't put their entire trust in people's good character, of course; customs performs a thorough search of some percentage of all travelers. Some customs agencies decide which travellers to search based on random chance. You are asked to press a button on a machine that activates a random number generator.
