The Bank Secrecy Act authorizes the Treasury Department to require financial institutions to maintain records of personal financial transactions that "have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax and regulatory investigations and proceedings." It also authorizes the Treasury Department to require any financial institution to report any "suspicious transaction relevant to a possible violation of law or regulation." These reports, called "Suspicious Activity Reports" are filed with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN").
The new section 103.121 (Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. ) of the Bank Secrecy Act regulations requires that financial institutions:
- implement a written risk-based customer identification program
- maintain records, including customer information and methods, used to verify customers' identities; and
- Compare the names of new customers against government lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations when such lists are provided by their federal regulator.
