In SAR, what is stated about trafficking victims' status?

In SAR reporting, the focus is on suspicious financial activity, not on who a person is beyond that activity. A trafficking victim’s status does not automatically make them a SAR subject. The subject of a SAR is the person or entity involved in the suspicious transaction or behavior that triggered the report. If there’s suspicious activity related to trafficking funds, the bank would report the activity or the customer involved, but simply being a trafficking victim isn’t what defines a SAR subject. SARs cover both domestic and international transactions, and the determination isn’t based on jurisdiction.
