SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Currency Transaction Report by 

Casinos. 

OMB Number: 1506–0005. 

Form Number: FinCEN Form 103. 

Abstract: The statute generally 

referred to as the ‘‘Bank Secrecy Act,’’ 

Titles I and II of Public Law 91–508, as 

amended, codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b, 

12 U.S.C. 1951–1959, and 31 U.S.C. 

5311–5332, authorizes the Secretary of 

the Treasury, inter alia, to require 

financial institutions to keep records 

and file reports that are determined to 

have a high degree of usefulness in 

criminal, tax, and regulatory matters, or 

in the conduct of intelligence or 

counter-intelligence activities, to protect 

against international terrorism, and to 

implement counter-money laundering 

programs and compliance procedures.1

Regulations implementing Title II of the 

Bank Secrecy Act appear at 31 CFR part 

103. The authority of the Secretary of 

the Treasury to administer the Bank 

Secrecy Act has been delegated to the 

Director of the Financial Crimes 

Enforcement Network. 

Section 5313(a) authorizes the 

Secretary of the Treasury to issue 

regulations that require a report when 

‘‘a domestic financial institution is 

involved in a transaction for the 

payment, receipt, or transfer of United 

States [sic] coins or currency (or other 

monetary instruments the Secretary of 

the Treasury prescribes), in an amount, 

denomination, or amount and 

denomination, or under circumstances 

the Secretary prescribes.’’ Regulations 

implementing section 5313(a) are found 

at 31 CFR 103.22. In general, the 

regulations require the reporting of 

transactions in currency in excess of 

$10,000 a day. Casinos, as defined in 31 

U.S.C. 5312(a)(2)(X) and 31 CFR 

103.11(n)(7)(i), are financial institutions 

subject to the currency transaction 

reporting requirement. Card clubs, as 

defined in 31 CFR 103.11(n)(8)(i), are 

casinos subject to currency transaction 

reporting. (See 63 FR 1919, January 13, 

1998.) The Currency Transaction Report 

by Casinos, FinCEN Form 103, is the 

form casinos and card clubs use to 

comply with the currency transaction 

reporting requirements.
