I think you are all reading too much into this. BOA takes security VERY seriously. If you are coming from a known VPN address, that raises numerous red flags for fraud detection.

I assume you get annoyed too when someone asks for ID? Or when the CC issuer makes them call in to verify the purchaser? This is all to protect your account and their bottom line nothing more nothing less.

This is the real reason. Companies will gladly sacrifice the tiny amount of legit customers who use a VPN if it will also cut down on the amount of fraud they experience.
