The $10,000 rule is aimed at whoever receives the cash. Businesses, professionals and charities would commit an offence by accepting $10,000+ in cash in one payment or a series of related ones. Banks, credit unions and trust companies are excluded. Today those payments only get reported to FINTRAC.&#xA;2. Crypto ATMs: ID checks and records for every transaction, a report to FINTRAC within 15 days (including wallet addresses), and a $1,000 cap per person per 24 hours.&#xA;3. Running an ATM without a provincial licence becomes a crime (up to $5M / 5 years), but that part only kicks in 18 months after royal assent. Licensed ATMs and exchanges stay legal.&#xA;4. It also restricts cash deposits into someone else&#39;s bank account.&#xA;&#xA;It is still a Senate bill, not law. The cash-limit idea first appeared in Bill C-2 in 2025.&#xA;&#xA;Finance Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2026/11/canada-minister-champagne-table-legislation-cracking-down-on-financial-crime-and-the-illicit-use-of-mail.html&#xA;Bill summary: https://myparliament.ca/bills/45-1/S-8&#xA;Legal breakdown: https://www.blg.com/en/insights/2026/11/bill-s8-proposed-changes-to-canadas-financial-crime-framework</html></oembed>
