We had a customer come into the bank and purchased a 90,000.00 cashier's check with cash he brought in with him. (He did not withdraw from his accounts here at the bank) The remitter reads his name only ("John Doe"). He does have a DBA with us also and in reading the intructions on completing a CTR it mentions on "Item 5. Doing Business As (DBA). If the financial institution has knowledge of a seperate 'doing business as' name , enter it in Item 5." Since this customer bought the cashier's check in his name not his DBA, do we have to enter anything in Item 5 just because we have knowledge that he has a DBA? Or, does that read that only if the transaction that triggered a CTR was done using the DBA do we have to complete Item 5? Thanks

If you believe the purchase was made for the business, include the DBA information. If not, don't.
