I was told by an examiner a few years ago that a bank is not required to report a SAR to its Board of Directors if the SAR involves a member of the Board. That provides protection for the person filing the SAR. Is that correct? If yes, where can I find that information? Thank you.

When the owner of an ATM resides in a state that requires the ATM be registered refuses to register that ATM; do you file a SAR on that customer for failure to provide documentation? If a SAR is required, does the continuous SAR filing rule apply until the customer complies?

A person applies for a credit card at an issuing bank and the application is declined due to a fraud flag (Iocation IP address, prior fraud address, prior fraud phone number, etc) and the credit line that would have been assigned to the credit card account would have been $5,100. Would a SAR need to be written in this case due to the fact that there is a possible suspect with a possible usage of over $5,000?
