The Requirement
What OFAC Asks of FinTech & Payments
You may already be a money services business
If you transmit money, exchange currency, issue or sell prepaid access, or cash checks, you are likely an MSB. That means registering with FinCEN, running a written AML program, filing SARs when warranted, and complying with OFAC.
The examination reaches you through your bank partner
Your partner bank's regulators evaluate your compliance program as part of their oversight of the bank's third-party risk. Losing a bank partnership over compliance deficiencies can be existential for a fintech.
Screening at signup is not screening
Designations are added after your users onboard. Re-screen the user base in batch at least monthly, or keep the names that matter under daily monitoring.
