Banking Compliance

Definition

Banking compliance refers to the adherence of financial institutions to all relevant laws, regulations, and ethical standards governing their operations. These rules aim to prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing, protect consumers, and maintain financial system stability. It includes obligations like Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties and reputational harm.
