The Why Behind AML

On the anniversary of 9/11, Sarah Beth shares a personal story of being abroad during the attacks — and witnessing firsthand how corruption devastates entire communities.

Her takeaway: financial crimes compliance is not just about meeting KPIs. It’s about public safety, freedom, and justice. Every SAR matters.

FinCEN Unleashes 4 Major Moves in 6 Days

Compliance teams were hit with a wave of updates:

• Cross-Border Information Sharing Guidance — Helpful examples, but tread carefully: privacy laws abroad complicate implementation.

• Sextortion Notice — Highlights crypto and prepaid cards. Sarah Beth warns institutions need nimble AML systems with sandbox testing.

• Southwest Border GTO Update — Threshold raised from $200 → $1,000. Sarah Beth argues changes like this should be communicated securely, not telegraphed to criminals.

• FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki Testimony — More talk or real substance?

OCC’s Troubling Signal

A recent OCC statement suggests AML isn’t a “material financial risk.”

• The danger: Boards and execs may cut compliance budgets.

• The reality: Cartels, fentanyl, and TCOs aren’t going away. Weakening AML now could have severe consequences later.
