Btw, banks will flag multiple transactions of $9,999 even if the reporting threshold is $10k USD. Structuring to avoid the $10k reporting requirement is well known and no guarantee of remaining under the radar.

Not even that close. They'll flag any recurring fairly large transactions under 10k.

I'm unfamiliar as I've never had such. What counts as re-occuring? Is two payments always considered re-occuring?

It can be, if they're fairly close in time and total just past 10k.

Every bank has their own algorithm and they try to ride the line between catching criminals and not having too many false positives.
