No, not a SAR. A Large Transaction Report. A SAR is if it's suspicious.
If you ever move $10,000 into our out of your bank account, a report is filed with your country's FinInt agency. Every time. It has whatever ID numbers you gave when you opened the bank account, everything else they know about you, and where the money moved from and to.
In Canada (and maybe the US as well?), this also includes large cash transactions with currency converters, casinos, and jewelry stores- because people kept finding new tricks for moving around money.
Edit: And this is why leaking these things is super serious! There's a lot of personal information in them!
