No, they are forced by federal US law to keep their mouth shut.
That could explain why ePassporte, VISA and SKNB all have all been very vague in their statements.

Notification Prohibited
Federal law (31 U.S.C. 5318(g)(2)) provides that
a financial institution, and its directors, officers,
employees, and agents, who report suspicious
transactions to the government voluntarily or as
required by 31 CFR 103.20, may not notify any
person involved in the transaction that the
transaction has been reported.
