Record Keeping and Logs

A business location may not sell money orders to any customer for $3,000.00 or more in currency unless it maintains records that must be obtained for each issuance or sale to any individual purchaser that involves currency in amounts of $3,000.00 to $10,000.00 inclusive.

To assist you with the logging requirements required by the BSA, MEMO developed the High Dollar Transaction Report. You can order copies of the High Dollar Transaction Report by contacting MEMO Customer Service at 1-800-922-8079 or download a copy from this site.

OFAC Regulations

OFAC regulations have requirements for businesses to identify and freeze the assets of oppressive governments, terrorists, narcotic traffickers and other specially designated persons.

A list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked entities (SDN list) is maintained by OFAC. This list identifies individuals and entities that have OFAC restrictions against them.

Transactions involving individuals or entities on the SDN list are prohibited as blocked transactions. Some of the countries and groups that are currently targeted by OFAC include Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan and the Taliban.
