Is there any regulation that requires obtaining/retaining a copy of a social security number and drivers license for any and all checks cashed for a non-customer, whether it is an on-us check or a check from a non-customer to an existing bank customer? We do understand the need to pull OFAC on all transactions that involve a non-customer no matter the amount of the check. It is very time consuming to make copies of IDs and the checks. Are examiners going to the extreme? If we check identification, it seems that with the OFAC that should suffice. Are all banks required to do this now?
