Cevap

The correct statements are that a CTR must be filed when physical currency transactions exceed $10,000 in a single business day for a customer, and that multiple cash deposits made across different branch offices of the same firm on the same day must be aggregated to determine whether the threshold is met.

CTR rules require financial institutions to report physical currency deposits, withdrawals, or exchanges exceeding 10,000 in a single business day, and firms are legally required to combine all cash transactions made by the same customer on that day.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the specific AML report being evaluated
The question specifically asks about Currency Transaction Report (CTR) obligations.
Different AML reports (CTR vs. SAR) have distinct monetary thresholds, filing triggers, and instrument types.
2
Verify CTR monetary thresholds and triggering instruments
CTRs are triggered specifically by physical currency/cash transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single business day. Personal checks and electronic wire transfers do not trigger CTR filings.
The Bank Secrecy Act requires tracking of paper money and coin movements into or out of financial institutions.
3
Evaluate aggregation rules across firm locations
Firms must aggregate all cash transactions conducted by or on behalf of the same person across all branches during one business day.
Aggregation prevents evasion of reporting requirements through multiple smaller cash deposits across different branch locations.
