adminThe federal depository institutions regulators and FinCEN recently issued a joint statement to address instances in which certain banks and credit unions may decide to enter into collaborative arrangements to share resources to manage their Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) obligations more efficiently and effectively. Collaborative arrangements as described in the statement generally are most suitable for financial institutions with a community focus, less complex operations, and lower-risk profiles for money laundering or terrorist financing.
The statement, which was issued by the Fed, the FDIC, FinCEN, the NCUA, and the OCC, explains how these institutions can share BSA/AML resources in order to better protect against illicit finance risks, which can in turn also reduce costs. Read the full InfoSight newsletter here.
