Bank Secrecy Act Compliance

Definition

Bank Secrecy Act Compliance involves adhering to United States regulations designed to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Financial institutions, including many cryptocurrency businesses, must establish anti-money laundering programs, report suspicious activities, and maintain specific records under the BSA. This regulatory framework mandates robust Know Your Customer procedures and transaction monitoring to detect illicit financial flows. Compliance is crucial for digital asset platforms seeking to operate legally within the US jurisdiction.
