What amount in cashing money orders or other financial instruments triggers form 8105A?

The amount that triggers the requirement for Form 8105A when cashing money orders or other financial instruments is $10,000. This regulatory requirement is designed to help combat money laundering and ensure compliance with reporting obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. Financial institutions must complete and file Form 8105A when a single transaction or a series of related transactions exceeds this threshold, thereby providing a transparent record of large cash transactions to authorities. This helps monitor potentially suspicious activities and contributes to the integrity of the financial system.
