In 2013 the government of Cyprus decided to seize money directly from people's bank accounts. I would not call that stable.

In 2022, when some Chinese banks decided to freeze depositors accounts for shady reasons and debitors planned to protest the issue, authorities used Covid codes to block them from accessing the banks. That also does not seem stable to me.
