Zorluk: ZorAnti-Money Laundering (AML), KYC, and Sanctions Compliance

Match each anti-money laundering (AML) red flag or account compliance scenario on the left with the corresponding mandatory regulatory action required of a broker-dealer on the right.

  • A customer conducts multiple cash deposits between 8,500and8,500 and 9,500 across different retail branch locations over consecutive days.Investigate for potential structuring activity and file a confidential Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with FinCEN if suspicious.
  • A prospective investor refuses to provide a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or government-issued photo ID during account setup.Enforce Customer Identification Program (CIP) protocols by denying account opening or restricting trading until identity verification is complete.
  • An attempted outgoing international wire transfer matches a targeted entity on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List.Immediately block (freeze) the funds and transaction, and file a formal blocking report with OFAC within 10 business days.
  • A corporate account requests frequent transfers to financial institutions located in non-cooperative high-risk offshore jurisdictions without an evident commercial rationale.Perform Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) to verify the legitimate source of funds and business purpose before executing transactions.

Cevap

The correct pairings match: (1) Cash deposits structured below $10,000 with SAR investigation for structuring; (2) Refusal to provide tax ID with CIP enforcement/account restriction; (3) SDN list hit with immediate OFAC asset blocking within 10 business days; and (4) High-risk offshore wire transfers with Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).
Each scenario directly maps to its specific governing AML regulation: cash structuring below $10,000 requires SAR review; missing baseline customer identification triggers CIP account restrictions; SDN matches mandate immediate asset blocking under OFAC sanctions; and high-risk offshore wire transfers require Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) before processing.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the cash deposit behavior scenario
Identify cash deposits just under $10,000 as potential structuring intended to evade Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs).
Structuring is a primary AML red flag that triggers internal compliance review and confidential SAR filing with FinCEN if deemed suspicious.
2
Evaluate the customer identification refusal scenario
Recognize that providing TIN/SSN and government photo ID is mandatory under CIP requirements.
Broker-dealers cannot open accounts without verifying minimum required identification details.
3
Determine sanctions requirements for SDN list hits
Match SDN list matches to immediate asset blocking and reporting to OFAC.
US persons and broker-dealers must freeze transactions involving sanctioned entities and report to OFAC within 10 business days.
4
Assess high-risk offshore transfer requirements
Associate transfers to non-cooperative high-risk jurisdictions with Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).
KYC risk-based monitoring requires verifying source of funds and business rationale when high-risk geographic factors exist.
