• Anti-Money Laundering (AML) A set of procedures, laws or
regulations designed to stop the practice of generating income through illegal actions.
Requires financial institutions and other regulated entities to prevent, detect, and report money laundering activities.

• Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Financial institutions aid U.S.
government agencies and law enforcement by uncovering criminal activities such as money laundering, drug trafficking, tax fraud, human trafficking and possible terrorist financing.

• Money Laundering When illegal money is brought into mainstream
circulation. Launderers hide the source of these illegal funds by making a series of intricate transactions. The true source of the money is “washed away.”
It has been estimated that more than $300 billion is laundered each year in the U.S. alone. More than 81,000 people are convicted of money laundering on some level each year in the U.S.
![Page 10: Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)/Anti-Money Laundering (AML ...€¦ · financial institutions, casinos, and certain other businesses to: Monitor customer behavior File reports on transactions](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051510/5fefd19200e18b3b2035c37e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Placement First stage in the washing cycle Money laundering involves a “cash intensive”
business generating vast amounts of cash from illegal activities (for example, dealing drugs where payment takes the form of cash).
The cash is placed into the financial system, and to avoid detection is transformed into other asset forms, such as purchasing monetary instruments like money orders.
"Dirty" money is most vulnerable to detection and seizure during placement.

• Layering Middle stage in the washing cycle Separating the illegally obtained money
from its source through a series of financial transactions that makes it difficult to trace the origin
A few of the many mechanisms that may be misused during layering are currency exchanges, wire transmitting services, prepaid cards that offer global access to cash via automated teller machines and goods at point of sale.

• Integration Final stage in the washing cycle Where illegal funds are converted into a
seemingly legitimate form. Integration may include the purchase of
businesses, automobiles, real estate and other assets. Integration of the "cleaned" money into the economy is accomplished by the launderer making it appear to have been legally earned.
By this stage, it is exceedingly difficult to distinguish legal and illegal funds.

must be maintained for five years after the account (e.g., loan, deposit, or trust) is closed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT — To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
