FINCEN Issues Guidance to MSBs on Anti-Money
Laundering Program Requirements
Money transmitters, issuers of traveler’s checks and payment instruments
receive guidance on dealing with foreign agents
On December 8, 2004, FINCEN issued guidance to money service businesses (MSBs) (including money
transmitters, and issuers of traveler’s checks and payment instruments) requiring MSBs to establish, as
part of their anti-money laundering programs, appropriate risk based policies, procedures and controls to
address the risks posed by their relationship with foreign paying agents and foreign counterparts. Since
April, 2002, all MSBs have been required to establish anti-money laundering programs. This guidance
specifically requires that these programs address the risks posed by an MSB’s foreign agents and
counterparts. The full text of the interpretative guidance is available at the following web site:
http://msb.gov/31cfr12142004.pdf
Generally, an MSB must now have policies and procedures for conducting due diligence on foreign
agents and counterparts, for conducting risk-based monitoring of foreign agents and counterparts, and
for corrective action and termination of foreign agents and counterparts.
