Do we as a bank have the right to refuse a wire transfer request if we feel it is suspicious and unusual activity for a particular customer? This customer had a wire come in yesterday and is now requesting an international wire transfer to Nigeria. Of course we know our responsibilities under BSA and the steps we need to take for suspicious activity, but we also would rather simply refuse to conduct the transaction altogether.

When BSA holds an incoming wire because they need more information such as invoices, It is our procedure to send a service message to the originating bank and ask for that required info. Sometimes, we are asked to contact the customer and ask for that information from the customer. Is that against any violations or do you think that could offend the customer in any way? Should a specific dept like BSA, contact the customer for that information to avoid having a dept like customer service, that doesn't have any knowledge on that, say something incorrect?
