> Your bank absolutely gets a say in that. They can refuse to transfer those funds for effectively any reason and will if they think that those funds are being transferred for any number of proscribed actions.
I think I covered that by linking to the charter that governs this.
> Those actions need not be official sanctions either. They can refuse to do business with another bank at their discretion.
They'd have to have a pretty good reason or I would have an excellent opportunity to sue. Capricious interference with the flow of capital is frowned upon.

Patreon effectively joined Putin. There is no way they will whitewash this.
You linked to the charter of what is disallowed, not what is a right.
I’ll concede I don’t know the Netherlands banking regulations so perhaps you do have a right to send electronic wires but what you linked doesn’t outline that.
In the US the cfpb regulates consumer rights when sending international transfers. The rights include disclosures about fees and fx and processes for adjudication of disputes but you do not have a right to send a wire.
