Does one mistake make a business an MSB?
09/01/2024
We have a commercial customer that cashes checks, but they are not registered as an MSB because they have a policy to not cash checks for one person over $1000 in one day. We found one instance of checks cashed over $1,000 for one person. Are we required to have the customer register as an MSB, or can we verify their check cashing policy and continue to monitor the account for any further instances?

Could this be considered an unauthorized electronic fund based on the amount error? Can this be considered a violation of other consumer protection law/reg? UDAAP?
Records retention and canceled remittance transfer
08/18/2024
Regarding a cancellation request of a consumer foreign remittance transfer - are there any document retention requirements related to the canceled wire transfer request? Is the FI required to retain a copy of the wire transfer request form or any other documentation related to the transaction since it never occurred if canceled within the 30-minute window? Our bank has a log to record all canceled international wire transfer requests, but that is the only documentation.
