Anti-Money Laundering Rule and Requirements

The USA Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. measures to prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism. These efforts include anti-money laundering (AML) tools that impact the banking, financial, and investment communities.

As a result of the Patriot Act, persons who are or are required to be registered as futures commission merchants (FCMs), introducing brokers (IBs), commodity pool operators (CPOs), and commodity trading advisors (CTAs) are subject to requirements for establishing AML programs, reporting suspicious activity, verifying the identity of customers, and applying enhanced due diligence to certain types of accounts involving foreign persons.

Organizations that as a part of their normal business activity that do one or any of the following are required to comply with developing an ongoing AML program:

* Report Suspicious Activity
* Verifying the Identity of Customers
* Due Diligence Measures for Certain Accounts Involving Foreign Persons
* Transactions in Excess of $10,000 in Currency
* Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts
* International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments
* Information Sharing among Financial Institutions and Law Enforcement

Establishing AML Programs

The Patriot Act requires that all financial institutions establish AML Programs.

An AML Program must be in writing and must include:

* The development of internal policies, procedures, and controls;
* The designation of a compliance officer;
* An ongoing employee training program; and
* An independent audit function to test programs

Who Must Comply?

Covered financial institutions include banks, securities brokers, futures commission merchants and introducing brokers, investment advisers, money services businesses and operators of credit card systems.
