There is such a thing as confidentiality of deposits. However, bankers have eyes so they can see how much you got there. Here's a joke to that effect taken from www.love-making-tips.com:
At a country-club party a young man was introduced to an attractive girl. Immediately he began paying her court and flattering her outrageously. The girl liked the young man, but she was taken a bit aback by his fast and ardent pitch. She was amazed when after 30 minutes he seriously proposed marriage.
"Look," she said. "We only met a half hour ago. How can you be so sure? We know nothing about each other."
"You're wrong," the young man declared. "For the past 5 years I've been working in the BANK where your father has his account."
