From the atm or the teller ?

ATM limit of 1k is common.

My small local credit union keeps about 10k in each of the tellers drawers . So you should be able to easily go up to 50k cash withdrawal .

If it’s a large multinational , 100k I suspect.

Also why not just go 10 days in a row and pull out 1k?

In the US, this could be considered "structuring" to avoid reporting requirements which is a federal crime with a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

If the reason to pull out 1K/day is a 1K/day limit imposed by the bank, then the reason is obviously not to avoid reporting requirements and therefore it cannot be considered structuring.

And yet people are prosecuted.
