Receiving a money transfer from abroad – bank audit

I withdrew a small amount of money from a savings account I have in the UK and transferred to my account here in Japan. Today I received a phone call from the bank asking me if I knew the source of the funds and what I am using the funds for (international school fees for my kids). They also want me to go into the bank with my My Number card and also some documents proving that I have an account in the UK and also a printout of the website of the international school’s website so they can confirm the tuition fees for themselves.

Is this normal or should I be applying lube and getting ready for the taxman?

Thank you.
