The concern is our customer receives the wire and spends the funds and a day, two, or more go by and we receive a claim to return the funds due to fraud.

09/01/2024
We have a commercial customer that cashes checks, but they are not registered as an MSB because they have a policy to not cash checks for one person over $1000 in one day. We found one instance of checks cashed over $1,000 for one person. Are we required to have the customer register as an MSB, or can we verify their check cashing policy and continue to monitor the account for any further instances?
