Question to anyone here who works at a bank?Just wondering, lets say some young person like 18 gets a wire transfer into their account for over 25kusd, do you guys report this to tax officials, or ask the person where it came from? or what do you guys do? | |
Bank tellers and any other employee for that matter can report any behavior they see "unusual". This is how Eliot Spitcer was caught; the teller thought it was odd he would withdraw this money on a regular basis and so she reported it. Also, every transaction over a certain dollar amount is automatically flagged to be checked.
Any wire transfer has to come from a registered account where the individuals tax or social security no is found
I dont work for a bank but i got a transfer of £14,000 which is $21 569. and i was told i have to provide proof of where it was coming from and i couldnt access it for over a month. I dont know if that differs from the US though. I was 20
