The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on Wednesday published proposals that aim to give banks more clarity on how to best manage risks related to money laundering and terrorism financing.<\/p>\n

Among other things, the draft revisions aim to ensure that banks conduct correspondent banking business with the best possible understanding of the applicable rules on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.<\/p>\n

“The proposed revisions develop the application of the risk-based approach for correspondent banking relationships, recognizing that not all correspondent banking relationships bear the same level of risk,” the Basel Committee report says.<\/p>\n

The proposals follow new guidance on correspondent banking from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) that was published in October, and aims to ensure consistency with the FATF standards.<\/p>\n

Comments on the proposals are due by Feb. 22, 2017. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
