Program overview

The various sections of the USA PATRIOT Act and the implementing regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act have been in final form for several years now. This course discusses the practical applications of the regulatory requirements, with an emphasis on nested accounts. It is designed both for U.S. financial institutions offering correspondent banking and for foreign financial institutions that have or are seeking U.S. correspondent banking relationships. U.S. financial institutions will acquire practical knowledge to apply to their correspondent compliance programs, while foreign financial institutions will gain a better understanding and appreciation of the requirements of the correspondent bank and be better able to demonstrate their compliance program and contract requirements.
