Regulations for Financial Institutions (US & Global)

Regulations for Financial Institutions (U.S. and Global) form the legal framework that guides compliance programs. In the United States, key regulations include the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC sanctions requirements, and FinCEN rules. Globally, financial institutions must navigate additional laws such as the European Union’s AML Directives, the UK’s Money Laundering Regulations, and regional authorities like AUSTRAC in Australia and MAS in Singapore. Compliance with these complex, overlapping regulations requires vigilant oversight and continuous updates to internal policies and systems.
