What This Means for Your AML Program
- Check cashing is the most common registered activity here. Check cashers must keep a written AML program (31 CFR 1022.210) and file a Currency Transaction Report on more than $10,000 in cash in a business day (31 CFR 1010.311).
- Money transmitters operating in North Carolina are licensed by the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks (https://www.nccob.nc.gov). State licensing is separate from FinCEN registration, and you need both.
