Banks heeding compliance issues, say regulators

WASHINGTON, DC – Amid a high-profile Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) crackdown in the US, federal agencies are confident that their BSA/AML control requirements are now being heeded by banks.

Thomas Schulz, who was assistant general counsel of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) until his retirement in August, says there is evidence that banks are getting the message.

On August 12, the bank reached an agreement to rewrite its BSA/AML controls.
