Yes, I know this is from a vendor, but there is still some good information on this site. http://tinyurl.com/355cltw

My only nitpick is that they use the acronym KYC ("know your customer")...BSA Examiners recommended we remove references to KYC from our policies and procedures and more correctly cite customer identification program and customer due diligence...just an observation.

It's a global organization. In many countries they still call it KYC. There is a section on the site for due diligence. The site is still a good resource. You might also notice that they spell "organization" "organisation", but I don't see that as a big problem.

The FDIC is still smarting from its foray into the world of KYC. Back when regulators first proposed a "know your customer" regulation -- prior to 9/11 and the USA PATRIOT Act -- "prehistory" to some of you -- the agency took a huge negative hit from the American public, who were adamant about not having their private personal information shared. The FDIC got the huge majority of the comments, and at the time it set a record for the shear numbers of comments ever received. What the public now endures -- CIP is the tip if the iceberg -- with CDD and transaction monitoring for money laundering and terrorist financing activity is far more invasive than was proposed back then. Sure, it's KYC wrapped up in pretty paper and a bow, but here in the U S of A it goes under one or more aliases.

I'm not arguing that the site is a good resource. On the contrary, it has some very good information and I'm keeping it bookmarked. I'm just cautioning about the use of KYC in any of your policies and procedures.

I guess you could call those "The Good Old Days" Breaking news: As of 3/9/99 over 225,000 objections to KYC have been filed with the FDIC (1/27/99): FDIC and the American Bankers Association express opposition to KYC (1/28/99): American Bankers Association calls for withdrawal of KYC proposal (1/29/99): News media reports on opposition to KYC Good Guys Win One - banking committee bill would kill KYC

FLorida Lilly: Where is this confessions of a money launderer??? I'm not Florida Lilly, but go to the site and click on "Home". You will see the link on the left side of the page that will take you to "confessions".

Thanks for sharing the link. I have been viewing that website for a couple of years. He has some very interesting insite to global CIP and risk ratings of high risk countries.

I too have read several of the things on that website. I agree with Florida Lily, the "confessions" are an interesting insight into professional money laundering.

I'm torn on this whole 'confessions of a money launderer' thing. For the same reasons that I'm on the fence about Michael Vick getting this year's MVP.
Does being a criminal uniquely qualify someone in being an expert in the crime they committed? Granted the guy probably served his time or whatever, but on the other hand I spend my days attempting to protect our Bank from criminals....
I think world-check over plays this guy. I don't think I learned anything I didn't already know from reading the material published by FATF, FINCEN, or by reading a Mark Bowden book, and this company - who mind you we pay to help us comply is making this guy (who probably caused other compliance officers like myself a lot of annoyance not too long ago) some sort of celebrity which I think needs to be wound down just a bit.

We will do our best to put the MVP in Tom Brady's hands, although last night's game was a real tense session.

Last night's game was such a disappointment. Was so happy to see Flynn carry the Packer torch while Rogers is mending. Darn Patriots anyways .... grrrrrr MVP should go to Rogers
