BSA/AML & Virtual Currency
The use of crypto and/or other virtual currencies (i.e., Bitcoin, etc.) has become more and more mainstream within the banking industry but there are significant risks that cannot be ignored. You need to understand the potential impact on your BSA/AML program.
The world of crypto and/or virtual currency can be overwhelming. It’s still fairly new but it’s becoming more and more prevalent with your everyday customers, even those that aren’t particularly financially savvy. Not only are there new terms and concepts to understand, it’s also an area that is constantly evolving and changing. The speed of transactions and the relative anonymity provided has made virtual currency an attractive option for criminals and money launderers. A basic understanding of these types of higher-risk activities is essential because there are so many things to consider from a BSA/AML perspective.
