Are My Transactions "Suspicious Activity"?

Answered by:

Question:

I made about ten $500 ATM cash withdrawals in a month. I also made two $1,000 cash deposit during that span. Will my transaction be reported as suspicious activity? I am also a bank employee, will this matter? I know you have to report if you make $10,000 a day, but will my transactions during this month considered as structuring?

Answer:

There are no hard and fast rules on what one financial institution may consider suspicious activity over another. If you are not doing anything wrong, what real difference would it really make anyway?
