Suspicious Activity from Specific Branch Bank

Answered by:

Question:

If a branch made us aware of Suspicious Activity, and we determine a SAR needs to be filed, would we mention the fact that we were made aware from a branch or just say we were made aware in general, should we ever get the branch involved.

Answer:

You have to report every branch location in which the suspicious activity occurred in the SAR and I am sure you will also reference the branch in the narrative. How you became aware of suspicious activity is really not here or there. If you didn't become aware of it, you would not be filing.
