Frequently asked questions

Is this AML/KYC form legally binding?

This form is a compliance tool, not a legal document. It helps you collect and document necessary customer information to support your AML program. It does not guarantee compliance with any specific law or regulation. Consult with legal counsel to ensure your program meets all applicable requirements.

What insurance products are most affected by AML regulations?

Life insurance and annuity products are most scrutinized because they can accumulate cash value and be used to launder money. Property/casualty policies are lower risk but can still be used for fraud. Reinsurance and surety bonds also present unique risks. This form covers all product lines.

Do I need to file a CTR or SAR?

If you receive cash payments over $10,000 in a single transaction or related transactions, you must file a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) with FinCEN. If you detect suspicious activity that may indicate money laundering or terrorism financing, you must file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). This form helps you collect the information needed for these filings.
