7 31 CFR 1010.100(t) defines financial institution 

to include: banks; brokers or dealers in securities; 

MSBs, telegraph companies; casinos and card clubs; 

persons subject to supervision by any state or 

Federal bank supervisory authority; futures 

commission merchants, introducing brokers in 

commodities; and mutual funds. It is FinCEN’s 

assessment that banks and MSBs are the only types 

of financial institutions as defined under 31 CFR 

1010.100(t) that are in the business of issuing or 

selling bank checks and drafts, cashier’s checks, 

money orders, and traveler’s checks. 

8 31 CFR 1010.100(ff)(3) defines an MSB that is 

an issuer or seller of traveler’s checks or money 

orders as a person that issues or sells traveler’s 

checks or money orders in an amount greater than 

$1,000 to any person on any day in one or more 

transactions. FinCEN can estimate the number of 

principal MSBs that report that they are issuers 

and/or sellers of money orders or traveler’s checks 

on FinCEN Form 107—Registration of Money 

Services Businesses (RMSB). However, FinCEN 

cannot estimate the number of agent MSBs that may 

be issuers and/or sellers of money orders or 

traveler’s checks. FinCEN assesses that given that 

an MSB is only defined as an issuer and/or seller 

of traveler’s check if it issues or sells money orders 

and/or traveler’s checks that accumulate to greater 

than $1,000 to any one person on any day in one 

or more transactions that most agent MSBs are less 

likely to reach the $1,000 threshold that would 

warrant compliance with 31 CFR 1010.415. For that 

reason, the burden estimates to comply with this 

information collection as described in tables 1 and 

2 below only account for principal MSBs that have 

reported on the RMSB that they are issuers and/or 

sellers of money orders or traveler’s checks. The 

threshold of between $3,000 and $10,000 to comply 

with 31 CFR 1010.415 makes it even more unlikely 

that agent MSBs are engaged in such transactions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Statutory and Regulatory Provisions 

The legislative framework generally 

referred to as the Bank Secrecy Act 

(BSA) consists of the Currency and 

Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 

1970, as amended by the Uniting and 

Strengthening America by Providing 

Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept 

and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 

(USA PATRIOT Act) 1 and other 

legislation, including the Anti-Money 

Laundering Act of 2020 (AML Act).2

The BSA is codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b, 

1951–1960 and 31 U.S.C. 5311–5314, 

5316–5336, including notes thereto, 

with implementing regulations at 31 

CFR chapter X. 

The BSA authorizes the Secretary of 

the Treasury (Secretary) to, inter alia, 

require financial institutions to keep 

records and file reports that are 

determined to have a high degree of 

usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory 

matters, risk assessments or 

proceedings, or in the conduct of 

intelligence or counter-intelligence 

activities to protect against terrorism, 

and to implement anti-money 

laundering/countering the financing of 

terrorism (AML/CFT) programs and 

compliance procedures.3 The authority 

of the Secretary to administer the BSA 

has been delegated to the Director of 

FinCEN.4

The BSA prohibits financial 

institutions from issuing any ‘‘bank 

check, cashier’s check, traveler’s check, 

or money order to any individual in 

connection with a transaction or group 

of such contemporaneous transactions 

which involves United States coins or 

currency (or such other monetary 

instruments as the Secretary may 

prescribe) in amounts or denominations 

of $3,000 or more’’ unless the individual 

either (1) has a verified transaction 

account with the financial institution; or 

(2) furnishes the financial institution 

with the information required by 

regulations and that information is 

verified and recorded by the financial 

institution, along with the method of 

account verification or the information 

required to be furnished.5 To implement 

these requirements, FinCEN issued a 

regulation requiring financial 

institutions to maintain records related 

to the issuance or sale of bank checks 

and drafts, cashier’s checks, money 

orders, and traveler’s checks.6 The 

regulation applies to all financial 

institutions as defined in 31 CFR 

1010.100(t). However, as a practical 

matter banks and money services 

businesses (MSBs) are the types of 

financial institutions most likely to 

issue or sell bank checks and drafts, 

cashier’s checks, money orders, and 

traveler’s checks.7 8

Under 31 CFR 1010.415, financial 

institutions are required to maintain 

records of certain information related to 

the issuance or sale of bank checks and 

drafts, cashier’s checks, money orders, 

and traveler’s checks when the issuance 

or sale involves currency between 

$3,000 and $10,000, inclusive, to any 

individual purchaser of one or more of 

these instruments. Under 31 CFR 

1010.415(a)(1)(i), if the purchaser has a 

deposit account with the financial 

institution, the financial institution is 

required to maintain records of: (A) the

9 31 CFR 1010.415(a)(1)(ii) (stating that 

‘‘[v]erification may be either through a signature 

card or other file or record at the financial 

institution provided the deposit accountholder’s 

name and address were verified previously and that 

information was recorded on the signature card or 

other file or record; or by examination of a 

document which is normally acceptable as a means 

of identification when cashing checks for 

nondepositors and which contains the name and 

address of the purchaser. If the deposit 

accountholder’s identity has not been verified 

previously, the financial institution may only verify 

the deposit accountholder’s identity by examination 

of a document which is normally acceptable within 

the banking community as a means of identification 

when cashing checks for nondepositors and which 

contains the name and address of the purchaser, 

and must also record the specific identifying 

information (e.g., State of issuance and number of 

driver’s license))’’.

name of the purchaser; (B) the date of 

purchase; (C) the type(s) of 

instrument(s) purchased; (D) the serial 

number(s) of each of the instrument(s) 

purchased; and (E) the amount in 

dollars of each of the instrument(s) 

purchased. Under 31 CFR 

1010.415(a)(1)(ii), the financial 

institution must also verify that the 

individual is a deposit accountholder or 

must verify the individual’s identity.9

Under 31 CFR 1010.415(a)(2)(i), if the 

purchaser does not have a deposit 

account with the financial institution, 

the financial institution must maintain 

a record of: (A) the name and address 

of the purchaser; (B) the social security 

number of the purchaser, or if the 

purchaser is an alien and does not have 

a social security number, the alien 

identification number; (C) the date of 

birth of the purchaser; (D) the date of 

the purchase; (E) the type(s) of 

instrument(s) purchased; (F) the serial 

number(s) of the instrument(s) 

purchased; and (G) the amount in 

dollars of each of the instrument(s) 

purchased. Under 31 CFR 

1010.415(a)(2)(ii), the financial 

institution must also verify the 

purchaser’s name and address by 

examination of a document that is 

normally acceptable as a means of 

identification when cashing checks for 

nondepositors and that contains the 

name and address of the purchaser, and 

must also record the specific identifying 

information. 

Under 31 CFR 1010.415(b), financial 

institutions must treat contemporaneous 

purchases of the same or different types 

of instruments totaling $3,000 or more 

as one purchase. Multiple purchases 

during one business day totaling $3,000 

or more must be treated as one purchase 

if an individual employee, director, 

officer, or partner of the financial 

institution has knowledge that these 

purchases have occurred. 

Under 31 CFR 1010.415(c), financial 

institutions must retain all required 

records for a period of five years and 

make those records available to the 

Secretary upon request at any time.

Title: Purchases of bank checks and 

drafts, cashier’s checks, money orders, 

and traveler’s checks (31 CFR 1010.415). 

OMB Control Number: 1506–0057. 

Report Number: Not applicable. 

Abstract: FinCEN is issuing this 

notice to renew the OMB control 

number for the recordkeeping 

requirement for the issuance or sale of 

bank checks and drafts, cashier’s 

checks, money orders, and traveler’s 

checks when the issuance or sale 

involves the use currency in an amount 

between $3,000 and 10,000, inclusive. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit institutions, and non-profit 

institutions. 

Type of Review: Renewal without 

change of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Frequency: As required. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

23,207 financial institutions.11

Estimated Recordkeeping Burden: 

In Part 1 of this analysis, FinCEN 

describes the distribution of the 

estimated number of financial 

institutions by type affected by the 

regulatory requirements. In Part 2, 

FinCEN describes the primary 

characteristics of the regulatory 

requirements. In addition, in Part 2, 

FinCEN proposes for review and 

comment a renewal of the calculation of 

the annual PRA burden that includes a 

scope and methodology similar to that 

used in the 2021 notice to renew these 

information collection requirements.12

Part 1. Distribution of the Financial 

Institutions Covered by This Notice 

The distribution of financial 

institutions, by type, covered by this 

notice is reflected in table 1 below:

aThis estimate of the total number of banks with an FFR, including credit unions, is based on end of year 2023 data as provided by each of 

the FFRs, respectively. The FFRs are the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the 

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the National Credit Union Administration. bThis estimate of active entries as of year-end 2023 was derived in consultation with staff from the Internal Revenue Service’s Small Business/ 

Self-Employed Division and incorporates data from both public and non-public sources, including: Call Reports; various State banking/financial institution regulators’ websites and directories; the Federal Reserve Board of Governors’ Master Account and Services database (https://federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/master-account-and services-database-exisiting-access.htm); and data from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 

Oficina del Comisionado de Instituciones Financieras (OCIF). cThis number is derived from data as self-reported by MSBs identified as active at year-end 2023 in FinCEN’s publicly available MSB registration database. FinCEN, MSB Registrant Search, available at https://www.fincen.gov/msb-state-selector (downloaded Feb. 28, 2024).

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2024 / Notices 76189 

13FinCEN does not have access to enough of the 

requisite data to estimate the volume of bank checks 

and drafts, cashier’s checks, money orders, and/or 

traveler’s checks or the typical currency value of the 

relevant products that are issued or sold by any one 

covered financial institution in a given year. 

FinCEN’s PRA estimates of the number of affected 

financial institutions include all identified, active 

entities in the respective categories of financial 

institutions that issue or sell the financial 

instruments covered by this control renewal. 

However, to the extent that SAR filings related to 

money orders or traveler’s checks might proxy for 

the number of entities that regularly issue or sell 

such financial instruments in dollar values that 

would incur an incremental recordkeeping burden 

for FinCEN purposes, the number of affected 

financial institutions is likely two to three orders of 

magnitude smaller than then number of financial 

institutions to whom the rule applies. For example, 

between 2014 and 2023, the number of unique 

MSBs that filed SARs related to money orders 

ranged between a minimum of 1.7 (in 2024) and a 

maximum of 2.7 (2015) percent of the current 

estimate of affected MSBs. Over the same time 

period the number of unique MSBs that filed SARs 

related to traveler’s checks ranged from a minimum 

of 0.02 (in 2020) to a maximum of 0.09 (in 2016) 

percent of the population of affected MSBs 

estimated in table 2. Thus, while certain financial 

institutions, or types of affected financial 

institutions, may expect to incur a substantially 

higher incremental annual burden, FinCEN expects 

many other financial institutions may not incur any 

incremental recordkeeping burden at all due to the 

nature of their business practices. FinCEN therefore 

continues to assign an estimated average 

incremental annual hourly burden per financial 

institutions to comply with this information 

collection of seven and half hours that reflects this 

expectation about the distribution of affected 

financial institutions. FinCEN invites comments 

regarding information relevant to the calculation of 

burden—ideally from sources and collection 

methods that provide sufficient transparency and 

reliability for FinCEN to be confident in using that 

information in its calculations. 

14This estimated burden, particularly with 

respect to depository customers of a bank, is 

intended to be distinct from the burden estimated 

in connection with a bank’s compliance with its 

ordinary customer identification program (CIP) 

obligations under 31 CFR 1020.220. FinCEN 

recently published its burden estimates related to 

CIP requirements and solicited public comment on 

those estimates separately. See FinCEN, Agency 

Information Collection Activities; Proposed 

Renewal; Comment Request; Renewal Without 

Change of the Customer Identification Program 

Regulatory Requirements, 89 FR 51940 (June 20, 

2024). 

In connection with a variety of 

initiatives FinCEN is undertaking to 

implement the AML Act, FinCEN 

intends to conduct, in the future, 

additional assessments of the PRA 

burden associated with BSA 

requirements. 

Part 2. Annual PRA Burden and Cost 

The scope of the annual PRA burden 

and cost estimates in this renewal 

encompasses the incremental 

recordkeeping requirements for FinCEN 

purposes that are associated with the 

issuance or sale of bank checks and 

drafts, cashier’s checks, money orders, 

and traveler’s checks between $3,000 

and $10,000, inclusive. FinCEN 

continues to assign an estimate of the 

incremental annual average hourly 

burden of creating and maintaining 

records for the issuance or sale of bank 

checks and drafts, cashier’s checks, 

money orders, or traveler’s checks to 

individual purchasers when the sale 

involves currency between $3,000 and 

$10,000, inclusive, that is 

approximately seven and a half hours 

per covered financial institution, 

irrespective of the volume of such 

transactions.13 This estimate covers the 

expected average incremental 

recordkeeping burden for FinCEN 

purposes of (1) verifying the identity of 

depository accountholder and other 

customers purchasing bank checks and 

drafts, cashier’s checks, money orders, 

or traveler’s checks when the issuance 

or sale involves currency between 

$3,000 and $10,000, inclusive; and (2) 

creating and maintaining records of 

certain information for a minimum of 

five years to be made available to the 

Secretary upon request.14

FinCEN’s estimate of the total annual 

PRA burden (174,053 hours) includes 

the recordkeeping requirements being 

renewed in this notice, detailed in table 

2 below:
