I am seeking some advise on BSA regulations around aggregation of secondary account holder. Is it a requirement by FinCEN to aggregate transactions based on secondary relationship between accounts and file a CTR?
Example: Joint account relationship
Account (A) - Chris (P) / Joe (S)
Account (B) - Joe (P) / Brian(S)
Chris as a conductor makes 6K Deposit into Act A at Branch X
Later, Joe as a conductor makes 5K Deposit into Act B at Branch Y
should a CTR be filed considering Joe has secondary relationship with Chris in Account A and ultimately benefits from the deposit made?

Is a canabidiol (CBD) business legal at the Federal level. I understand it is legal in all 50 states but unsure about the Federal level. Would it be treated the same as a marijuana related business where a continuing SAR would be required?

We currently bank municipalities/public funds who are considering allowing medical marijuana business in their community. Sounds like it will cost about $5,000 per license upwards of 25-50 applications allowed. Do we need to report the activity in a SAR that the municipality is accepting applications?
