Give written instructions to your bank requiring them know to engage in transactions over a certain amount without a certain set of verification procedures (for example a call back with a prearranged password for any wire was one that I had with my old bank), and have them acknowledge receipt in writing as well. In the unlikely/unfortunate event that your money is stolen - recouping from the financial institution will be more straightforward if they didn’t follow procedures and you can prove it.

What typical retail bank allows you to set such kinds of custom procedures?

I'm curious about that too, but don't forget you can talk to your banker directly without going through a random commenter on the internet. :)

I'm pretty sure my bank won't do that though, since I'm currently mainly using an online-only bank.
