Is a bank required to file a SAR if it loses more than $100,000 on a loan to a director? Even if there is no suspicious activity? We're being told that it is a requirement.

Ask your source for a citation. Absent insider abuse, which you did not allege, there is no different SAR filing threshold for directors. If there was loan fraud or something else, you would file for that reason, not because he or she was a director.

There should be other ramifications...they may outweigh the impact of a simple SAR filing.

A requirement that you file a Suspicious Activity Report when there has been no suspicious activity? If they even attempt to justify that, please post their rationale here so that we can see it.

Of course, I do hope you are referring to a now ex-director smile
