SAR

A

In financial regulation, a suspicious activity report (or SAR) is a report made by a financial institution about suspicious or potentially suspicious activity. The criteria to decide when a report must be made varies but generally is any financial transaction that does not make sense to the financial institution, is unusual for that particular client or appears to be done only for the purpose of hiding or obfuscating a transaction (like the $10K transaction threshold). The report is filed with FinCEN. Front line staff in the financial institution have the responsibility to identify transactions that may be suspicious and these are reported to a designated person that is responsible for the reporting the transaction. The financial institution is not allowed to inform the client or the parties to the transaction that a SAR has been lodged.

A

Universal Online Banker, a product being built for Treasury by ACI. It will replace the current product, TIB also from ACI. It was an $8 mill project, and Aimee says it needs to come back for more funding, and thinks it may get shutdown. Right now there is an issue where the new UOB product is requiring MQS (IBM) version 8 and the for client v8 where the current TIB (ACI) requires v7.1 and in late arch move by ACI, they need the UOB to connect to the old MQS (version 7.1). Ibm doesn’t support connecting a v8 client to v7.1 server.

Redlining

A

in the United States, redlining is the practice of denying services, either directly or through selectively raising prices, to residents of certain areas based on the racial or ethnic makeups of those areas. While some of the most famous examples of redlining regard denying financial services such as bankingor insurance,[2] other services such as health care [3] or even supermarkets,[4] can be denied to residents to carry out redlining.[5] The term “redlining” was coined in the late 1960s by John McKnight, a sociologist and community activist.[6] It refers to the practice of marking a red line on a map to delineate the area where banks would not invest; later the term was applied to discrimination against a particular group of people (usually by race or sex) irrespective of geography.
