Which term refers to the obligations of a credit union to monitor and report suspicious activity?

Credit unions have to maintain a set of duties under the Bank Secrecy Act that focus on detecting and reporting suspicious activity. These duties include setting up and following AML policies, conducting ongoing transaction monitoring, performing customer due diligence, training staff, and, when appropriate, filing reports with authorities. That collection of duties is best described by the phrase that refers to the obligations of the credit union itself—its responsibilities. The actual mechanism used to report suspicious activity is known as a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), which is the action taken under those responsibilities. The other options point to specific items like a type of report or unrelated payment concepts, not the overarching obligations.
