OFAC/Patriot Act Regulations and Announcements

The USA Patriot Act  (Section 321) requires Banks, Savings Associations, and Credit Unions compliance with requirements for enhanced due diligence for correspondent and private banking accounts maintained for non-U.S. persons.

USA Patriot Act Summary

Section 311 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act (December 11, 2002) authorizes the U.S. Treasury to designate a foreign jurisdiction, financial institution, class of transactions, or type of account as being of primary money laundering concern, and to impose special measures or sanctions.

The Act requires due diligence and enhanced due diligence for correspondent and private banking accounts maintained for non-U.S. persons. Under the interim rule, banks, savings associations, and credit unions must comply with the terms of section 312. Securities brokers and dealers, futures commission merchants, and introducing brokers will be required to comply with section 312 with regard to private banking accounts for non-U.S. persons. Finally, Treasury is deferring application of section 312 of the USA Patriot Act to all other financial institutions until the Department outlines the extent of their obligations in the final rule.
