The Federal Reserve Board has requested comment on a proposal to amend its requirements for banks to maintain anti-money laundering programs. The proposed amendments aim to align with changes to anti-money laundering program requirements separately proposed by four other agencies. The changes would require banks to focus their anti-money laundering resources based on risk, with more attention given to higher-risk customers and activities. Additionally, banks would be required to incorporate the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network's anti-money laundering priorities into their risk assessment processes. Once a bank has established an anti-money laundering program, the Federal Reserve would focus supervision and enforcement activities on significant failures to implement the program. Comments on the proposal are due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The proposal is intended to improve the effectiveness of anti-money laundering programs in banks. The Federal Reserve Board is seeking comments from the public to inform its decision on the proposed amendments. The proposal is part of the Federal Reserve's efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. The Federal Reserve Board is responsible for supervising and regulating banks to ensure their safety and soundness and compliance with laws and regulations, including those related to anti-money laundering. The proposed amendments would enhance the Federal Reserve's supervision and enforcement activities in this area. The public can submit comments on the proposal through the Federal Register website. The Federal Reserve Board will review the comments and consider them in its decision on the proposed amendments.
