I'm not sure what you mean.
When the bank is served with a writ of attachment, the target account must be frozen immediately. Any notice the bank gives the customer is after the account is frozen.
If the bank is the employer, an amount equal to the garnishment amount is frozen and the employee cannot be paid anything until the garnishment amount is first taken from the pay account. Any notice the bank gives the employee is after the garnishment has already been entered into the pay accounts.
In virtually every state, for both attachment and garnishment the target is not warned or notified until the holder of the funds is served and the funds are segregated.
