To notify your bank or crypto exchange in advance of a large donation-related transfer and help prevent unnecessary blocks, it is considered best practice to send a clear, written notice outlining the amount, timing, and purpose of the donation.
This helps the institution anticipate the activity and complete any required compliance checks in advance, which can reduce avoidable delays.
