The Bank Secrecy Act Compliance Office of the Postal Service™ has revised PS Form 8105-A, Funds Transaction Report, to comply with updated federal requirements to identify the true source or “owner” of cash. Part of that effort is collecting data, not only on the purchaser, but also on the beneficial owner if the purchaser is making the purchase “on behalf of” another individual or organization. This information is required when a customer purchases $3,000 or more in Postal Service financial instruments (e.g., money orders, Sure Money®, gift cards) on behalf of another person or organization in a single day.
Additionally, the U.S. Postal Service® must obtain the same information for cashed financial instruments totaling more than $10,000 in a single day. With the release of the revised PS Form 8105-A, we now require customers to provide identifying information on the beneficial owner as well as themselves for these transactions to take place.
Note: There is a new address for submitting hard copy forms. The submission address for PS Form 8105-A and PS Form 8105-B, Suspicious Transaction Report, is:
