In chapter 1 he attempted to contact Weiss but couldn't, minutes later she learns she has no money. If old man Schnee's plan was to get Weiss to stop avoiding him, he wouldn't be calling at all, someone like him would just cut her off and then just wait it out until she gives in and call him instead. We've known that Weiss has daddy issues, that she does'n't make an effort to contact him; the same can be for her dad as far we know. But something's changed and now he's making an effort to contact her.

Also, Lessons Learned implied that whenever Weiss and her dad are feuding she's know the reason why. That is until now with the money situation. She hates her dad, but she also knows him enough to feel that something was off.

Either way this will be great character development for Weiss. 1. What she meant was "Perhaps so you would stop avoiding him and call him back."

2. Why did he try to call first? Because, instead of being passive aggressive about it, he called her to try to reach out to her.

3. Why call before cutting her off? He was giving her one last chance. He probably even prepared to shut down her account before he even called her, so shutting it down would just require him to hit the Submit button.

4. "she doesn't make an effort to contact him" <-- Which is exactly why he didn't sit around waiting. He tried to contact her, and when she kept ignoring him, he decided to try to force her to listen to him.

5. "the same can be said for her dad for all we know" It's My Turn suggests that he has been so controlling of Weiss that she felt like he owned her. Whenever she didn't want to go somewhere or do something, he would tell her to know her place, accept her fate, show good face, and be thankful that she's there. I'm pretty damn sure he didn't walk around ignoring her and not wanting to be in contact with her. It's possible that what spurred the call was him watching Team RWBY's match on TV. Winter had something to say about the match; he might have as well.

Your theory is that something is going on at the SDC, he had to shut down her account, and he was calling to tell her why, right? If that were the case, Winter could've just told her what was going on. She knew Weiss' bank account was closed. She probably knows how things are going with the SDC, especially since the SDC is working with the military (according to Ironwood, when he was showing off the robots the SDC helped fund).
