AML/BSA POLÍTICA, PROGRAMA

Y PROCEDIMIENTOS
ESPAÑOL
POLITICAS DEL ACTA DE SIGILO BANCARIO
Pautas Generales
Intermex ha desarrollado un programa escrito para asegurar el cumplimiento con la ley del Acta de Sigilo
Bancario, Titulo III, incluyendo el Acta Patriota del 2001y las enmiendas a sus regulaciones y leyes
Federales. Estas leyes aseguran penalidades severas a personas que participan en una violación de la 31 Parte
103 CFR, que cubre Transacciones Monetarias. Este Programa en particular se aplica a todas Agencias de
Intermex y/o Representantes.
Objetivo
La Junta Directiva de Intermex reconoce la necesidad de la regulación de transacciones monetarias grandes y
los requisitos de guardar otros registros, y ha adoptado la siguiente política:
Política
Es la política de Intermex cumplir con las exigencias del Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA), el Acta Patriota de
los Estados Unidos del 2001, todas las regulaciones del Departamento de la Tesorería y el Servicio de
Ingresos Internos (IRS). Por lo tanto, Intermex ha establecido un sistema de controles internos para asegurar
el reporte oportuno y apropiado de todas las transacciones monetarias superiores a $10,000 dólares durante
cualquier día dado, por o de parte de, cualquier individuo, y mantendrá archivos de todos los instrumentos
monetarios vendidos por cantidades de $3,000 dólares a $10,000 dólares.
Por otro parte, Intermex implementa más controles mediante la aplicación de requerir identificación por
monto de dinero enviado a determinados países. El monto establecido es de $1,000 dólares a Colombia y
$2,000 dólares a otros países. Además, estos controles exponen en detalle los procedimientos para identificar
transacciones monetarias múltiples hechas por o en nombre de cualquier persona durante cualquier día dado,
que, cuando se suman exceden los montos requeridos para reportar, así como actividades sospechosas que
requerirían la presentación de un Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa (SAR-MSB) al gobierno.
El Departamento de la Tesorería ha determinado que estos archivos y reportes son muy importantes para
investigaciones criminales, cobro de impuestos y asuntos regulatorios.
Intermex ha puesto en práctica filtros (OFAC), de la Oficina del sistema de Control de Activos Extranjeros a
fin de descubrir casos del lavado de dinero por individuos y entidades designadas como riesgosos y
peligrosos por OFAC. Además, Intermex ha puesto en práctica filtros internos basados en características de
transacciones e individuos para establecer una política de seguimiento apropiado, específico y debidamente
enforzado en sus procedimientos para descubrir y proteger a la corporación contra el lavado de activos.
Control Regulador
Como parte de su compromiso de asegurar el cumplimiento, Intermex ha designado al Sr. José A. Pérez como
Jefe Oficial de Cumplimiento del Acta de Sigilo Bancario y Programas de Anti-lavado. El Oficial es
responsable de la coordinación y el monitoreo de la conformidad cotidiana con el Acta de Sigilo Bancario y
otras regulaciones pertinentes. El Oficial también se asegurará que todos los empleados de Intermex y agentes
sean entrenados bajo las exigencias del Acta de Sigilo Bancario, así como las enmiendas recientes proscritas
por el Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos del 2001 y todas otras regulaciones aplicables.
Penalidades
Hay penas criminales y civiles sustanciales, incluso multas y encarcelamiento; esto debido al fallo de cumplir
con el Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA), Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos de 2001 y por violación del los
estatutos criminales del lavado de dinero.

POLITICA DEL ACTA DE SIGILO BANCARIO
Descripción de Cumplimiento del BSA y el
Acta Patriota de Estados Unidos
El Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA) esta respaldada por el Ministerio de Hacienda de Los Estados Unidos y es
la pieza central reguladora del esfuerzo en contra del lavado de dinero de los Estados Unidos. Esta es una ley
separada y distinta a las leyes de lavado de dinero encontradas en el código penal de los Estados Unidos en el
Título 18 del Código Federal. La provisión del BSA cubre cada tipo de institución financiera, incluso
transmisores de dinero. Además, el Ministerio de Hacienda tiene la autoridad para designar como “una
institución financiera” cualquier negocio “cuyas transacciones en efectivo tienen un grado alto de la utilidad
en criminalidad, impuestos, o asuntos reguladores.”
El BSA le da al Ministerio de Hacienda un amplio mandato para publicar regulaciones y poner en práctica
sus provisiones. Conforme a las enmiendas añadidas por el Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos de 2001, el
objetivo del BSA ha sido implementado para incluir “en la conducta de inteligencia o actividades de
contraespionaje, incluso análisis, para proteger contra el terrorismo internacional.” (Título 31, Segundo de
USC. 5311 y 5312 (a) (2).
Para el 23 de julio de 2002, las instituciones financieras deben aplicar “apropiadamente, específicamente y
donde debida diligenciarealzada sea necesaria” para todas las cuentas privadas de corresponsales
internacionales. Este será requerido para cuentas bancarias correspondientes (comúnmente bancos que no
conducen negocios con el dinero de aquella jurisdicción donde ellos son licenciados y existen). La diligencia
debida también se aplica a bancos de jurisdicciones específicas “que no cooperan en el esfuerzo internacional
para combatir el lavado de dinero. ’
Lo siguiente es un resumen general de obligaciones de conformidad adicionales para el dinero que transmite
el negocio como mandato del Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos de 2001;
1- Respuesta dentro de 120 horas a peticiones de un regulador bancario para archivos acerca del
cumplimiento contra el lavado de dinero o transacciones de cliente
El Departamento de Cumplimiento de Transferencia de giros de Intermex, está listo para cumplir con
cualquier petición de autoridades regulación apropiadas de los bancos.
2- El Ministerio de Hacienda ha publicado regulaciones de actividad sospechosas para la Industria de

Valores y requiere que Transmisores de Dinero reporten a través de un SAR-MSB actividades sospechosas.
El Departamento de Cumplimiento Intermex actualmente investiga toda transacción por actividad

sospechosa. El Departamento de Cumplimiento supervisa la actividad del giro con instrumentos de
sistemas de filtros de la Oficina del Control de Activo Extranjero (OFAC), y filtros de giros Internos, e
investigación específica de actividad del giro. En la eventualidad que una actividad sospechosa es
descubierta, el oficial de cumplimiento cumplirá y seguirá todos los reportes exigidos por el gobierno
federal.
Rev 030510 2

3- El Secretario de la Tesorería ha puesto “procedimientos razonables” para la identificación de cliente en el
inicio de transacciones. Los Procedimientos Razonables incluyen el mantenimiento de archivos usados para
identificar al cliente y consultar un listado asignado por el gobierno de terroristas conocidos o sospechosos.
Como ya mencionado, Intermex requiere la prueba de identificación e información biográfica con el fin
de procesar una transacción. Los archivos de transacciones altas son documentados y archivados
según regulaciones federales y estatales. Además, Intermex consulta la Oficina del Control de Activo
Extranjero (OFAC), “LISTA de OFAC” para prevenir que nuestros servicios no sean utilizados por
terroristas sospechosos.
4 - Se requiere que instituciones financieras se adhieran a las nuevas regulaciones diseñadas para alinear las
relaciones entre la industria de servicios financiera. Las regulaciones forzarán a las instituciones financieras,
entidades reguladoras y representantes de la ley a facilitar y compartir información de individuos o
entidades.
Intermex estará listo para poner en práctica cualquier nueva regulación para facilitar el intercambio
de información para luchar contra el problema global del lavado de dinero.
5- Las instituciones financieras deben poner en práctica o crear nuevos procedimientos de cumplimiento
prácticos y corrientes; un proceso de formación educativo bien aconsejado con programas de conformidad
comprensibles y poderosos para todos los empleados es encomendado ahora según la ley.
Intermex tiene un Oficial de BSA y Regulador de Cumplimiento que actualizará el programa BSA y los
procedimientos del Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos del 2001 de una forma regular para codificar
nuevas enmiendas. Este manual ayudará a Intermex a permanecer conforme al Acto de Lavado de
Dinero y otras regulaciones federales y estatales que están relacionadas con transmisores de dinero y
vendedores de instrumentos monetarios. Además, el Oficial de Cumplimiento investigará y hará
seguimiento a todas las cuestiones reguladoras y leyes a fin de proteger Intermex de ser usado por
cualquier actividad ilegal. El Oficial de Cumplimiento mantendrá y requerirá la información de todo el
personal de la compañía y los agentes de Intermex.
En caso del incumplimiento por una institución financiera, § 363 del Acta Patriota permite que el Secretario
de la Tesorería imponga a cualquier institución financiera que viola ciertas secciones enumeradas una pena
monetaria de hasta dos veces la cantidad de la transacción, no mayor de un millón de dólares. Esta pena civil
es complementada por una pena criminal codificada como 31 USC § 5322 (d) que permite al gobierno
imponer una multa de hasta dos veces la cantidad de la transacción por violaciones criminales del acto.
6- Las instituciones financieras deben proveer entrenamientos y/o educación a su personal y agentes
autorizados.
Intermex impartirá periódicos entrenamientos a sus empleados y agentes autorizados para asegurar
que la compañía este en cumplimiento con la regulación federal y estatal con el propósito de prevenir el
lavado de dinero y financiamiento terrorista.
7- Las instituciones financieras deben implementar una revisión independiente para monitorear y mantener un
adecuado programa contra el lavado de dinero.
Intermex ha implementado un proceso de revisión independiente, como requerido por el Acta Patriota
de los Estados Unidos Titulo 31 CFR 103.125. Esta revisión esta diseñada para evaluar y determinar
que la política, procedimientos y controles internos de Intermex son efectivos y aseguran el
cumplimiento con la ley y las regulaciones. La frecuencia de la revisión será una vez por año.
Rev 030510 3

OFICINA DE CONTROL DE ACTIVO EXTRANJERO (OFAC)
POLITICA Y PROCEDIMIENTOS
La Oficina del Control de Activos Extranjeros (OFAC) del Departamento del Tesoro administra y aplica
sanciones económicas basadas en la política exterior de los Estados Unidos y de seguridad nacional que atacan
ciertos gobiernos, grupos terroristas, narcotraficantes internacionales y todos aquellos que estén tras el desarrollo
de armas de destrucción en masa.
Intermex ha implementado un sistema de filtros OFAC que protege a la empresa de los individuos que son
específicamente designados como personas o entidades bloqueadas que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos considera
peligroso y ha decidió sancionar.
Todas las transacciones de envío pasan a través del filtro, ya sea al entrar o salir de los Estados Unidos. El sistema
de OFAC inmediatamente detecta una similitud y transfiere la transacción a un archivo especial que es revisado por
el Departamento de Cumplimiento. Por consiguiente, el Departamento de Cumplimiento utiliza un sistema de
rastreo OFAC independiente donde la posible similitud es examinada contra la información detallada, incluyendo
homónimos que se mantienen en la base de datos del gobierno.
Si la similitud resulta negativa, la transacción será procesada inmediatamente, y el envío llegara a su destino. Si el
sistema detectara una persona bloqueada, Intermex deberá bloquear la transacción y seguir los reglamentos y
regulaciones estipuladas por la Oficina del Control de Activos Extranjeros. Tres de los más importantes son como
sigue: 1) Cualquier transacción que ha sido bloqueada o rechazada debe ser reportada a OFAC dentro de diez días
laborales; 2) Un informe anual de toda propiedad bloqueada al 30 de junio deben enviarse antes del 30 de
septiembre de cada año; 3) OFAC requiere la retención de todos los informes y archivos de transacción bloqueados
o rechazados durante cinco años.
Intermex monitorea cambios en la lista de ciudadanos, especialmente designados o personas bloqueadas por la
Oficina del Control de Activo Extranjero. El sistema de Intermex automáticamente recupera, cada día, la última
versión de la lista de OFAC de la página de internet del Departamento del Tesoro de los Estado Unidos. Esta por su
parte es usada para actualizar nuestra lista y filtro interno. Diarias actualizaciones se realizan a las 5 A.M., y
consisten en actualizar cualquier nuevo desarrollo de política en cuanto a OFAC así como cambios a la lista maestra
de ciudadanos especialmente designados y personas bloqueadas.
Además de filtrar todas las transacciones de dinero, nombres de individuos que compran money orders que suman
$3,000 o más son filtrados contra la lista de OFAC por posibles similitudes.
Intermex también ha implementado una política y procedimientos para filtrar a través de la lista de OFAC al nuevo
personal de Intermex antes de ser empleados. Asimismo, nombres de prospectos agentes autorizados y directores,
y/o dueños de corresponsales extranjeros son filtrados antes de firmar acuerdos contractuales con Intermex. Estos
procedimientos son repetidos periódicamente para actualizar registros internos y descartar posibles similitudes
contra la lista de OFAC.
Rev 030510 4

POLITICA DE CONOZCA A SU CLIENTE
VERIFICACION DE LA IDENTIDAD DEL CLIENTE
La Política “de Conocer a Su Cliente” como promulgado en 31CFR103, es la política declarada de

Intermex, juntos con los estándares correspondientes y los procedimientos para poner en práctica dicha
Política.
Clientes
Intermex es conciente que la aplicación de la política de "Conocer a Su Cliente” es uno de los medios más
eficaces de prevenir la exposición a clientes potenciales que tienen la intención de usar nuestros servicios
financieros para objetivos ilícitos. Los objetivos específicos de esta Política son:
• Reforzar nuestro Programa de Cumplimiento y maximizar nuestros esfuerzos para asegurar el

cumplimiento con ambas leyes e intentar aplicar todas las leyes de los Estados Unidos y del estado
de la Florida, y con todas reglamentaciones promulgadas acerca de esto
• Asegurar la legítima adherencia y reconocimiento de las leyes financieras.
• Proteger el buen nombre y la reputación de nuestra institución financiera.
• Demostrar nuestra buena voluntad y nuestro alto nivel de competencia de servicio al cliente.
Es la Política de Intermex usar “esfuerzos razonables” para averiguar la identidad verdadera de clientes
individuales y/o el objetivo comercial indicado de cada empresa comercial que solicita hacer transacciones
comerciales con Intermex. Intermex se compromete a este principio con una serie de procedimientos
establecidos para este fin.
Procedimientos para Abrir una Agencia
Intermex conduce la investigación debidamente diligenciada en agencias potenciales antes de su aprobación

de conducir el negocio como un agente de Intermex. La investigación consiste en adquisición y verificación
de la documentación legal, comercial, y personal de los dueños principales de la entidad comercial. El fracaso
del agente potencial para proporcionar cualquiera de la información solicitada o el descubrimiento del crédito
negativo marca suficiente información para negar la Aplicación de la Agencia. El agente potencial debe
proporcionar la siguiente información:
1. Someter un Certificado de Incorporación u otra autorización aplicable para conducir un negocio bajo el
nombre comercial
2. Someter una lista de propietarios del negocio y proporcionar un comprobante de propiedad de entidad o
negocio. En el caso de que sea un solo propietario, será requerido comprobante de propiedad de la
entidad o negocio u otra documentación aplicable.
3. Someter documentación del arriendo del local, donde el agente conducirá el negocio. En caso que el ser
dueño de la propiedad comercial, un documento de la propiedad será solicitado.
Rev 030510 5

Intermex conducirá las siguientes búsquedas:
1. Crear el Informe de Historia para determinar un resultado de crédito y el modelo de riesgo.
2. Búsqueda de Archivos Públicos para historial de juicios, embargos preventivos y otros artículos legales.
3. Búsqueda de Fondo Criminal para obtener historias criminales exactas.
4. OFAC
Procedimientos para Agencias Aprobadas
Una vez que el agente es aprobada Intermex conducirá los procedimientos siguientes para asegurar el
cumplimiento apropiado con regulaciones de Anti-lavado de dinero, Acta de Sigilo Bancario y otras
exigencias que se aplican al agente como institución financiera.
1. Conducir el entrenamiento del agente y sus empleados sobre el Acta de Sigilo Bancario y otras
obligaciones de Anti-lavado de dinero que corresponden al agente.
2. Entrenar nuevamente a los Agentes y sus empleados que muestran debilidad en la aplicación de política y

Procedimientos para Terminar a un Agente
Intermex se reserva el derecho de terminar a un agente por desobedecer con las políticas de cumplimiento
institucionales de cualquier ley de Anti-lavado de dinero y procedimientos, o violación de cualquier sección
del Acuerdo de Agencia. Sobre el descubrimiento de cualquiera de las violaciones ya mencionadas, Intermex
expedirá una carta de terminación al agente documentando los motivos de la terminación. Esta carta también
servirá como aviso al agente para hacerles saber que ya no estarán autorizados a proporcionar servicios de
Intermex o usar cualquier material de Intermex para solicitar negocio.
Rev 030510 6

POLITICA DE CONOZCA A SU CORRESPONSAL
DILIGENCIA DEBIDA
A fin de estar en cumplimiento y asegurar nuestro compromiso de mantener un programa de Anti-lavado de

dinero eficaz, Intermex requiere que todos los corresponsales extranjeros presenten información necesaria de

corresponsal extranjero.
Rev 030510 7

SEÑALES DE ALERTA
Intermex ha preparado esta guía de posible lavado de dinero como un instrumento para Agentes y/o
Representantes para identificar transacciones y/o individuos que pueden parecer sospechosos.
Cualquier transacción que parece ser sospechosa NO debe ser completada y debe ser inmediatamente
transferida al Oficial de Cumplimiento de Intermex, por teléfono y confirmada por fax o correo. Además, si la
transacción o la actividad parece representar estructuración con el propósito de evadir el reporte de Acta de
Sigilo Bancario (BSA) o registro que guarda información, y como detallado en Intermex’ “Informes de
Transacción Monetarios – Programa de Cumplimiento”, hay una causa de creer que esto es un posible lavado
de dinero u otra actividad criminal o extraña, la transacción debe ser reportada como una Transacción
Sospechosa a la agencia del gobierno apropiada. Por favor refiérase al Programa de Cumplimiento de
Intermex para archivar la información. Si un SAR es archivado, una copia debe ser enviada al Oficial de
Cumplimiento de Intermex.
1. Las Señales de Alerta en cuanto a la información proveída:

El ID proporcionado al Agente parece ser falso
La foto en el ID no concuerda con la apariencia del cliente.
El nombre en el ID no concuerda con el nombre del cliente en la aplicación
El empleo (ocupación) no es verificable.
El teléfono de casa esta desconectado o la persona no es conocida en el número dado.
El cliente no quiere proporcionar la información requerida.
El cliente intenta reducir la cantidad de la transacción cuando la documentación adicional o
específica o la información es solicitada
El cliente, cuando cuestionado, no puede o no proporciona el origen de los fondos
2. Señales de Alerta en cuanto a cantidades y frecuencia de órdenes:

El cliente con frecuencia envía sumas grandes de dinero al extranjero
El cliente esta “De Paso” y quiere enviar sumas grandes de dinero al extranjero
El cliente intenta enviar una cantidad de dinero excepcionalmente grande a una ciudad o
estado que es muy diferente de su residencia, con ninguna razón convincente.
El cliente paga por una transacción alta de dinero con muchos billetes de baja
denominación
3. Señales de Alerta en cuanto a posible estructuración:

Órdenes múltiples con el mismo remitente o el beneficiario, o ponen el mismo número de
teléfono y dirección para un beneficiario, o acumulan $3,000 dólares durante el mismo día,
o son pedidas por personas diferentes que han llegado juntos, a diferente personas, con una
combinación similar de identidades, dirigidas a sitios diferentes en la misma área, por
cantidades similares, o una combinación de varias condiciones ya mencionadas.
Transacciones múltiples realizadas al mismo área a diferentes beneficiarios por diferentes
remitentes pero que todo caen dentro de un patrón o práctica en una base continua
(diariamente, semanalmente, mensualmente, etc.) por cantidades de dinero similares por
debajo de 2,000 dólares que Intermex tiene asignado.
El cliente hace muchas preguntas sobre el reporte CTR y otras exigencias de Anti-lavado
de dinero con la aparente intención de evadirlos.
El cliente trata de conducir transacciones bajo dos o más nombres
Estos ejemplos de posible actividad criminal deben ser accesibles y explicados a fondo a todos los
empleados de los Agentes
Rev 030510 8

REPORTES DE TRANSACCIONES MONETARIAS
Reporte de Transacción Monetaria en efectivo

CTR FinCen forma 104
El Departamento de Tesorería requiere que Intermex, y/o sus Agencias y Representantes archiven un informe
por cada transacción que implique una cantidad de dinero de más de 10,000 dólares. Esta forma es usada
para reportar transacciones monetarias en efectivo:
CTR FinCen Forma 104
• Propósito de CTR
El objetivo principal de reportar transacciones monetarias es para proporcionar a las agencias de la ley un
modo de rastrear y prevenir de aquellos envueltos en actividades financieras ilegales de usar Intermex para
lavar dinero en efectivo obtenido ilegalmente de la venta de drogas, mercancía robada, juego de azar, etc.
Este no implica que las transacciones en efectivo de más de $10,000 dólares sean ilegales; la mayor parte de
transacciones más de 10,000 dólares en dinero efectivo son hechas por motivos legítimos. El hecho que se
requiere un CTR no refleja la legalidad de la transacción o el carácter del individuo que inicia la transacción.
• Usos de un CTR
El CTR tiene un grado alto de utilidad en investigaciones reguladoras en criminalidad e impuesto. La

información de CTRs es usada en investigaciones de procedimientos criminales y financieros.
• Cuando se requiere un CTR
Se requiere que Intermex reporte todas las transacciones monetarias que implican más de $10,000 dólares por
o para cualquier persona en un mismo día. Transacciones monetarias múltiples en la misma jornada laboral
deben ser tratadas como una sola transacción; si la institución tiene el conocimiento que ellos son por y/o para
la misma persona. Para reportar, debe haber una transferencia física de dinero en efectivo de una persona a
otra.
Una transacción, sea una transferencia de fondos por medio de cheque, letra bancaria, u otra orden escrita, y
no incluye la transferencia física del dinero, no es una transacción reportable.
• Ejemplo de transacciones monetarias
Los siguientes son ejemplos para la preparación y archivo de un CTR:
1. Un cliente remite o recibe más de $10,000 dólares en dinero efectivo de una o varias fuentes en un día
laboral.
2. El cliente desea cambiar más de $10,000 dólares en efectivo por billetes de menor o mayor cantidad
3. El cliente realiza varias transacciones en efectivo que dan un total de $10,000 en un mismo día laboral
Rev 030510 9

• Transacciones reportables
Las transacciones reportadas incluyen, pero no son limitadas a:

¾ Transferencia de giros
¾ Venta de Giros postales
• Transacciones Monetarias Múltiples
Intermex tratará transacciones monetarias múltiples como una sola transacción; si Intermex tiene el
conocimiento de que son por o de parte de una persona y exceden $10,000 dólares en cualquier día laboral.
Siempre y cuando un empleado tenga el conocimiento de transacciones múltiples por o para una persona, esta
información constituirá conocimiento en representación de Intermex. Esfuerzos razonables deberían ser
hechos para identificar todas agregaciones de transacción múltiples que exceden $10,000 dólares, y es, por lo
tanto, transacción reportables.
• Instrumentos monetarios
Como requerido por el Acta de Secreto Bancario (BSA), Intermex mantendrá por un periodo de cinco (5)
años un Registro de Instrumentos Monetarios por la venta de instrumentos monetarios como giros postales y
cheques viajeros que implican dinero en cantidades de 3,000 dólares a 10,000 dólares inclusive. Por esta
razón, la forma de Intermex “High Transaction Form/Money Order Log” será llenada y presentada en una
manera oportuna con la siguiente información.
1. Nombre y dirección del comprador.

2. Número de seguro social del comprador. Si el comprador es un extranjero y no tiene un número de seguro
social, obtener el número de identificación de extranjería Alíen No.), un número de pasaporte, o el número
de permiso de conducir.
3. Fecha de nacimiento del comprador.
4. Si el individuo compra los instrumentos de parte de otra persona o entidad, el nombre, dirección, seguridad
social, o número de identificación de contribuyente, debe ser obtenido y registrado.
5. Fecha de compra.
6. Oficina/Agencia donde fue comprado.
7. Números de serie de todos los instrumentos comprados.
8. Cantidad en dólar de cada instrumento comprado.
9. Método de verificar identidad y obtener documentación de identificación específica. (La fotocopia de una
identificación deberá ser guardada en el archivo).
Documentos de identificación aceptables son:
Licencia de Conducir o Tarjeta de Identificación de USA

Permiso de Trabajo de USA
Tarjeta de Residencia de USA
Tarjeta Militar de USA
Pasaporte
Otro documento oficial con Fotografía (ya sea extranjero o doméstico)
Si la documentación no es de USA, el país de emisión debe ser escrito al lado de la identificación.
La compra de los mismos tipos o diferentes instrumentos de un total $3,000 dólares o más debe ser tratado
como una transacción, cuando hay conocimiento de ventas múltiples y presentar forma correspondiente.
Para transacciones de mas de $10,000 en efectivo la forma CTR FinCen Forma 104 será completada.
Rev 030510 10

• Procedimiento para determinar el fallo de la agencia de suministrar Forma 1025 o un
High Transaction Log es la siguiente:
1. Un Informe de Agente en Sospecha, que muestra bloques de instrumentos monetarios vendidos al mismo
cliente dentro de una cantidad corta del tiempo debe ser preparado y dado al oficial de cumplimiento
diariamente para la revisión.
2. Si el agente no ha proporcionado una forma interna Intermex 1025 o el High Transaction Log, la agencia
será llamada y cuestionada en cuanto a si el mismo cliente compró los instrumentos monetarios.
3. En caso de ser el mismo cliente, las formas correspondientes son solicitadas inmediatamente.
4. En el instante que la agencia informa a Intermex que clientes diferentes compraron los giros postales,
Intermex investigará los instrumentos monetarios al final de mes después de que se haya procesado el
pago. La investigación se concentrará, si la misma persona recibió los giros postales. Si se verifica que el
mismo individuo presentó los giros postales a cobrar, la agencia recibirá la primera de dos advertencias
escritas por parte del oficial de cumplimiento, basado en el fallo de cumplir con regulaciones federales así
como citación del acuerdo de apertura de Agencia. Sobre la segunda violación, Intermex terminará la
relación con el derecho concedido al acuerdo en el momento de apertura de agencia.
• Transferencias
Por cada transferencia de dinero recibida por Intermex, la información requerida por las regulaciones que
ponen en práctica el Acta de Sigilo Bancario, se obtendrá y archivara en la manera requerida y por un período
de 5 años. Adicionalmente, para cada transferencia de dinero iniciada desde el Estado de Oklahoma por
$1,000 o más, Intermex mantendrá toda la información requerida por lo menos por un periodo de 3 años así
como lo estipula el Departamento de Banca del Estado de Oklahoma. Toda información será registrada en la
Forma de Intermex 1025 presentada en el momento del pago de la transmisión u orden de transmisión,
adjunto con una identificación válida.
Una copia de identificación valida se mantendrá en los archivos junto con la siguiente información
La información siguiente debe ser obtenida:
1. Nombre y dirección del creador

2. Tipo de identificación presentada y examinada, como:
Permiso de conducir, Carné de Identidad Estatal, número de Seguridad Social, Carné de Identidad
Extranjero, Número de Pasaporte y País de Emisión, Cedula, u otra identificación oficial, con fotografía
3. Cantidad de orden de pago
4. Fecha de Ejecución
5. Instrucciones de Pago recibidas con orden de pago incluyendo:
Nombre y dirección de beneficiario.
Cualquier otra información perteniente al beneficiario como especifica en la orden de pago.
Todo registro requerido y guardado, como encomendado por el Acta de Sigilo Bancario por transacciones
monetarias se aplican a transferencias de dinero. Un reporte para transacciones en efectivo entre $3,000
dólares y $10,000 dólares inclusive será conservado, y un CTR será llenado para todas las transacciones en
efectivo de más de $10,000 dólares. Los Informes de Actividad Sospechosos (SAR) serán archivados de
acuerdo con las pautas proporcionadas bajo los términos aquí establecidos
Rev 030510 11

• Reporte de Actividades Sospechosas – SAR-MSB FinCen Form 109
Se requiere que Intermex archive un Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa (SAR-MSB) para transacciones que
agregan $2,000 dólares o mas, que implican Lavado de dinero potencial o violaciones del Acta de Sigilo
Bancario. Cualquier transacción conducida, o que intenta, o por medio de Intermex e implique una
agregación de $2,000 dólares o más en fondos u otros activos, si Intermex sabe, sospecha, o tiene razón de
sospechar que:
1 La transacción implica fondos provenientes de actividades ilegales, o tratan de esconder o disfrazar

fondos o activos sacados de actividades ilegales (incluyendo sin limitación, la propiedad, naturaleza,
fuente, posición, o control de tales fondos o activos) como parte de un plan de violar o evadir
cualquier ley o regulación o evitar el reporte de la transacción conforme a la ley Federal.
2. La transacción es diseñada para evadir cualquier regulación promulgada conforme al Acto de Sigilo
Bancario.
3. La transacción no tiene ningún negocio u objetivo legal aparente, o no es la clase de negocio en el

que el cliente trabaja, y la institución financiera no sabe de ninguna explicación razonable de la
transacción después de examinar los comprobantes disponibles, incluso el objetivo y propósito de la
transacción.
El Acta de Sigilo Bancario requiere la clasificación de un Reporte de Transacción Monetario (CTR) siempre
que una transacción monetaria exceda $10,000 dólares. Si una transacción monetaria excede $10,000 dólares
y es sospechosa, ambos un CTR y un SAR (Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa) debe ser archivado. Si la
transacción sospechosa iguala o es menor de $10,000 dólares, sólo un SAR debería ser archivado.
• Ejemplos de Transacciones Sospechosas
Lo siguiente son varios ejemplos de transacciones sospechosas:
1. Un cliente reduce una transacción en efectivo de $15,000 dólares a $9,000 dólares después de que
usted informa que un CTR debe ser archivado.
2. Un pequeño negocio local hace transacciones entre $9,000 dólares y $9,500 dólares en el dinero
efectivo cada día, y usted sabe que el negocio no genera esa cantidad de efectivo. Un cliente, que
usted conoce o sospecha esta implicado en un negocio ilegal hace transacciones de $9,500 dólares en
dinero efectivo varias veces por semana.
3. Dos o más individuos, que están obviamente juntos, conducen transacciones en efectivo por menos
de 10,000 dólares, cada uno.
4. Un cliente cambia pequeñas cuentas de denominación ($5, $10s, $20s) para cuentas de
denominación grandes ($50s, los años $100).
5. Un negocio que no es normalmente intensivo en efectivo de repente aumenta las transacciones en

efectivo
6. Un cliente inicia un número grande de giros que no son consecuentes con el uso ordinario de su
dinero
Éstos son sólo unos ejemplos de transacciones sospechosas.
Cualquier transacción en efectivo de $2,000 dólares o mas que parezca sospechosa debe ser reportada con un
SAR Fincen Form 109(Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa) a la dirección postal siguiente, o como realizado

• Estructuración y Lavado de Dinero
Es un delito Federal estructurar transacciones. La “estructuración” en nombre de otras personas, conduce o

intenta conducir una o mas, es considerada de cuando una persona actuando sola, o en conjunto con, o con
transacciones en efectivo, en cualquier cantidad, en una o varias Agencias o en diferentes instituciones
financieras, durante uno o varios días, en cualquier manera para la evasión del reporte de BSA o
requerimiento de registro. Es también un delito el asistir a un cliente en la estructuración de una transacción.
Si el Agente sospecha que un cliente estructura transacciones, pero se hace no notar la actividad y no hace
preguntas sobre la proveniencia del dinero, el Agente puede ser encontrado culpable de la estructuración.
Ejemplos:
Juan Gracia lleva $2,000 dólares en efectivo y pide enviar el dinero a Carmen Vera en Colombia.
Al día siguiente Sr. Gracia lleva $2,000 dólares en efectivo y pide enviar el dinero a Jorge Vera
en Colombia. Juan Gracia puede intentar evadir el Registro de Transferencia Monetaria de BSA
de registros que se conservan. Si el Agente determina que Sr. Gracia estructura transacciones, él o
ella no debe completar la transacción. Además, el Agente debe seguir los procedimientos para
manejar transacciones sospechosas.
El Agente ve que Donna Green y Sue Smith entran en la Agencia juntos y hablando el uno con el
otro. Cada uno entrega menos de 10,000 dólares en dinero efectivo y piden enviar el dinero a
Canadá. Las órdenes solicitadas de Sra. Green y Sra. Smith van a Andrew White con un total de
más de $10,000 dólares. Donna Green y Sue Smith pueden intentar evadir los reportes de
exigencia del CTR. Si el Agente determina que la Sra. Green y la Sra. Smith estructuran
transacciones, él o ella no deben completar las transacciones. Además, el Agente debe seguir los
procedimientos para manejar transacciones sospechosas.
• Estatutos de Lavado de Dinero
Es también un delito Federal para cualquier persona comprometida a sabiendas en cualquier transacción
comercial o financiera o transporte internacional o transmisión de fondos con los beneficios de tráfico de
drogas u otra actividad criminal. El conocimiento puede ser probado demostrando que la persona fue “ciego
voluntariamente” “o deliberadamente indiferente” a la fuente o el origen de los fondos.
Ejemplos:
Jack King lleva $49,500 dólares en efectivo y pide enviarlos a su madre en Europa. Él comenta
que él ha obtenido el dinero vendiendo drogas y quiere compartirlo con su madre. El Agente tiene
el conocimiento que los fondos usados para la transferencia son beneficios del tráfico de drogas.
Como el Agente sabe que los fondos son de fondos criminales, él o ella NO deben completar la
transacción. Además, si el Agente completa la transacción que él o ella saben o sospecha que
pueden implicar los beneficios de tráfico de drogas u otra actividad criminal, él o ella pueden ser
culpables de Lavado de dinero.
Mark Lee está desempleado. Él pide enviar $15,000 dólares a su padre en Asia. Como esta es una
transacción sospechosa, el Agente debe preguntar al Sr. Lee sobre la fuente de los fondos. Sólo si
el Agente está totalmente satisfecho de que los fondos sean legítimos, puede él o ella completan la
transacción. Si el Agente no hace las preguntas sobre la fuente de los fondos a fin de establecer
que los fondos no son beneficios de la actividad criminal, y los fondos son los beneficios de
tráfico de drogas u otra actividad criminal, puede pensarse que el Agente es voluntariosamente
ciego a la fuente de los fondos. Si el Agente completa la transacción, él o ella pueden ser culpables
del lavado de dinero.
Rev 030510 13

• Procedimientos para Manejar Transacciones Sospechosas
Después de darse cuenta de una transacción o actividad sospechosa, el Agente debe investigar la situación.
1. Si la transacción o la actividad parece representar estructuración para evadir el reporte de BSA o el

registro que guarda exigencias, u otra actividad criminal o extraña y no hay ninguna explicación razonable, la
transacción NO debe ser completada. Además, el Agente debe archivar un informe de SAR de acuerdo con
las exigencias del BSA y políticas y procedimientos de Intermex, y debe enviar una copia del SAR a
Intermex, por fax.
2. Si la transacción o la actividad reportada en un SAR, parece ser parte de un esquema en curso, el

Agente debería considerar notificar, por teléfono al IRS (llamando a la oficina de División de Investigación
IRS/Criminal local o el número de Línea directa IRS, 1-800-CTRS), y debería notificar el Departamento de
Cumplimiento de Intermex.
3. Una transacción que es reportada en un SAR también puede requerir el reporte en un CTR, si esto
implica más de $10,000 dólares en efectivo en una jornada laboral.
4. El Agente no DEBE NOTIFICAR a ninguna persona que esta ha sido reportada en un SAR.

1 AML/BSA POLICY, PROGRAM
AND PROCEDURES
ENGLISH
BANK SECRECY ACT POLICY
General Guidelines
Intermex has developed a written Anti-Money Laundering program to ensure compliance with the Bank Secrecy
Act, Title III, including all the USA Patriot Act of 2001 amendments to its regulations. Federal laws provides for
severe penalties for persons participating in a violation of 31 CFR Part 103, which covers currency transactions.
This Program particularly applies to all of Intermex Agencies and/or Representatives.
Purpose
The Board of Directors of Intermex understands the necessity for the regulation of large currency transactions and
other record keeping requirements, and has adopted the following policy:
Policy
It is the policy of Intermex to comply with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), USA Patriot Act of
2001, all regulations of the US Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. Therefore, Intermex
has established a system of internal controls to ensure the timely and proper reporting of all currency transactions in
excess of $10,000 on any given day, by or on behalf of any one individual, and will maintain records on all monetary
instruments sold for currency in the amounts of $3,000 to $10,000.
Furthermore, Intermex implements further controls by applying identification requirements thresholds to certain
countries. A lower threshold of $1,000 has been established for money transfers to Colombia and of $2,000 to all
other countries. Additionally, these controls detail procedures to identify multiple currency transactions made by or
on behalf of any one person on any given day, which, when aggregated, exceed the reporting limits, as well as the
detection of suspicious activities that would require the filing of a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
The US Department of the Treasury has determined that these records and reports are highly useful in the
investigation of criminal, tax and regulatory irregularities
Intermex has implemented an (OFAC), Office of Foreign Asset Control system in order to detect instances of money
laundering through designated individuals and entities designated as dangerous risks by OFAC. In addition,
Intermex has implemented internal filters based on transactions patterns and individual characteristics to establish an
appropriate, specific and enhanced due diligence policy and procedure to detect and protect against money
laundering in the corporation.
Regulatory Control
As part of its commitment to ensure compliance, Intermex has appointed Mr. Jose A. Perez as Bank Secrecy Act and
Regulatory Compliance Officer. He is responsible for the coordination and monitoring of day-to-day compliance
with the Bank Secrecy Act and other pertinent regulations. This Officer shall also ensure that all of Intermex
employees and agents are trained on the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, as well as the recent amendments
proscribed by the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and all other applicable regulations.
Penalties
There are substantial criminal and civil penalties, including fines and imprisonment. This due to failure to comply
with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), USA Patriot Act of 2001 and for violating criminal money laundering statutes.
Rev. 030510 1

BANK SECRECY ACT POLICY
BSA & United States Patriot Act Compliance Overview
The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) is enforced by the United States Department of the Treasury and is the
regulatory centerpiece of the entire U.S. Money laundering effort. It is a separate and distinct law from the
money laundering laws found in the criminal code of the United States in Title 18 of the U.S. Code. The
BSA’s provision covers every type of financial institution, including money transmitters. Moreover, the U.S.
Department of the Treasury has the authority to designate as a “financial institution” any business “whose
cash transactions have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory matters.”
The BSA gives the U.S. Department of the Treasury an extremely broad mandate to issue regulations to
implement its provisions. Under the amendments added by the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the purpose of the
BSA is expanded to include “in the conduct of intelligence or counterintelligence activities, including
analysis, to protect against international terrorism.” (Title 31, USC Sec. 5311 & 5312 (a)(2).
By July 23, 2002, financial institutions must apply “appropriate, specific and where necessary enhanced due
diligence” for all foreign private international correspondent accounts. This will be required for
correspondent bank accounts with offshore banks (commonly banks that do not conduct business with the
currency of that jurisdiction where they are licensed and exist). The special due diligence also applies to
banks from jurisdictions deemed “non cooperative in the international effort to combat money laundering.’
The following is a general summary of further compliance obligations for money transmitting business as
mandated by the USA Patriot Act of 2001;
1- Response within 120 hours to requests of a banking regulator for records relating to anti-money laundering
compliance or customer transactions
The Compliance Department of Intermex Wire Transfer, LLC. is prepared to comply with any
requests of an appropriate banking regulating authority.
2- The U.S. Department of the Treasury has issued SAR regulations for the Securities Industry and requires
Money Transmitters to report suspicious activity.
The Intermex Compliance Department currently researches all transaction for suspicious activity. The
Compliance Department monitors wire activity with tools such as the Office of Foreign Asset Control
(OFAC) filter system, Internal Wire filters, and specific wire activity research. In the event suspicious
activity is uncovered, the compliance officer will comply and follow all federal suspicious activity
reporting requirements.
3- The U.S. Department of the Treasury has set “reasonable procedures” for customer identification at onset
of transactions. Reasonable Procedures include maintaining records used to identify the customer and
consulting a government provided list of known or suspected terrorists.
As aforementioned, Intermex requires proof of identification and biographical information in order to

process wires. Records of high transactions are documented and filed according to federal and state
regulations. In addition, Intermex consults the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), “OFAC
LIST” to prevent any suspected global terrorists from using our services.
Rev. 030510 2
4- Financial institutions are required to adhere to the new adopted regulations designed to align the
relationships between the financial services industry. The regulations will force financial institutions,
regulators and law enforcement, to facilitate information sharing on individuals or entities.
Intermex will be prepared to implement any new regulations to facilitate the sharing of information
to fight the global problem of money laundering.
5- Financial institutions must implement or rethink current compliance procedures and practices; a well-
counseled educational training process with understandable and forceful compliance programs for all
employees is now mandated by law.
Intermex has a BSA and Regulatory Compliance Officer who will update the BSA and USA Patriot
Act of 2001 procedures manual on a regular basis as amendments are codified. This manual will
aid Intermex to remain in compliance with the Money Laundering Act and other federal and state
regulations that relate to money transmitters and vendors of monetary instruments. In addition,
the Compliance Officer will investigate, research, and follow up on all regulatory issues and laws in
order to protect Intermex from being used for illegal activity. The Compliance Officer will
maintain and require training of all company personnel and agents of Intermex Wire Transfer,
LLC.
In the case of non-compliance by a financial institution, § 363 of the Patriot Act allows the U.S.
Department of the Treasury to impose on any financial institution that violates certain enumerated
sections a monetary penalty of up to two times the amount of the transaction, not to exceed a million
dollars. This civil penalty is complemented by a criminal penalty to be codified as 31 USC § 5322(d)
which permits the government to impose a fine of up to two times the amount of the transaction for
criminal violations of the act.
6. Financial institutions are required to provide education and/or training to appropriate personnel or
authorized delegates
Intermex is committed to impart periodic trainings and education to its employees and authorized
delegates to insure that the company is in compliance with all state and federal regulatory laws in
order to deter money laundering and terrorist financing.
7. Financial institutions must provide for independent review to monitor and maintain an adequate anti-
money laundering program.
Intermex has implemented an independent review process of the company’s Anti Money
Laundering program, as required by Title 31 CFR Section 103.125 of the USA Patriot Act. This
review is designed to evaluate Intermex’s policies, procedures and internal controls are adequate
and effective to ensure compliance with pertinent laws and regulation. The frequency of the review
shall be once per calendar year.
Rev. 030510 3
OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSET CONTROL (OFAC)
POLICY AND PROCEDURES
The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and
enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted
foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Intermex has implemented an OFAC filter system that safeguards against those individuals that are specially
designated nationals or blocked persons that the United States government considers dangerous and decided to
sanction. All money transfers flow through the filter, whether leaving or entering the United States. The OFAC
system immediately detects a possible match and transfers the money transfer transaction to a special file that is
reviewed by the Compliance Department. Consequently, the Compliance Department utilizes an independent
OFAC tracker system, where the possible match is reviewed against detailed information of names, including
homonyms in the government database. This information is compared against the information in our wire
system for a match.
If a false positive match is obtained, the money transfer will be immediately released for payment. If a
positive match is verified, Intermex must block the transaction and follow all rules and regulations stipulated
by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Three of the most important are as follows: 1) Any transaction that
has been blocked or rejected must be reported to OFAC within ten business days; 2) An annual report of all
property blocked as of June 30 is due by September 30 of each year; 3) OFAC requires the retention of all
reports and blocked or rejected transaction records for five years. .
Intermex closely monitors changes to the list of specially designated nationals or blocked persons by the
Office of Foreign Asset Control. Intermex systems automatically retrieve, on a daily basis, the latest version
of the OFAC list from the US Treasury internet site. This in turn is used to update our internal filter list.
Daily updates at 5 A.M. est. consist of any new policy developments regarding OFAC as well as changes to
the master list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons.
As well as all money transfers, name of individuals that purchase money orders for the sum of $3,000 and
over are also screened through OFAC designated list for possible matches.
Intermex has also implemented a policy and procedures to screen through the OFAC list new Intermex’
employees before they are hired. In addition prospect authorized agents and foreign correspondents directors
and/or owners names are also screened before they sign contractual agreements with Intermex. These
procedures are repeated periodically to update internal records and disregard possible matches against the
OFAC list
Rev. 030510 4
“KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER POLICY”
VERIFYING CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION
The Policy of “Know Your Customer” as promulgated in 31CFR103, is the declared policy of
Intermex, together with the corresponding standards and procedures needed to implement said Policy.
Customers
Intermex believes that the implementation of a “Know Your Customer” policy is one of the most
effective means of preventing exposure to potential customers who intend to use our financial services for
illicit purposes. The specific objectives of this Policy are:
• Reinforce our Compliance Program and maximize our efforts to ensure compliance with both
the letter and intent of all applicable laws of the United States and of the State of Florida, and
with all regulations.
• Secure adherence to sound and recognized financial practices.
• Protect the good name and reputation of our financial institution.
• Demonstrate our good will and the high level of proficiency of our customer service.
It is the Policy of Intermex to use “reasonable efforts” to ascertain the true identity of individual
customers and/or the stated business purpose of each commercial enterprise that requests to do business
transactions with Intermex. Intermex commits itself to this principle through a set of procedures
established for this purpose.
Procedures to Approve a New Agent
Intermex conducts due diligence research on potential agencies prior to their approval to conduct business
as an Intermex agent. The research consists of acquiring and verifying legal, business, and personal
documentation of the principal owners of the business entity. Failure of the potential agent to provide
any of the requested information or the discovery of negative credit score information will be sufficient
grounds for the denial of the Agency Application. The potential agent must provide the following
information:
1. Submittal of a Certificate of Incorporation or other applicable authorization to conduct business

under the commercial name.
2. Submittal of a list of business owners and their proportionate ownership of the business entity.
In the case of a sole proprietor, additional state registration or other applicable documentation

RED FLAGS
Intermex has prepared this guide of possible money laundering indicators as a tool for Agents and/or
Representatives to identify transactions and/or individuals that may appear suspicious.
Any transaction that appears to be suspicious must NOT be completed and must immediately be referred to
the Intermex Compliance Officer, by telephone and confirmed by fax or mail. In addition, if the transaction or
activity appears to represent structuring to evade Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) reporting or record keeping
requirements, and as detailed in Intermex’ “Currency Transaction Reports – Compliance Program”, there is
cause to believe that it is a possible money laundering or other criminal or unusual activity, the transaction
must be reported as a Suspicious Transaction to the appropriate government agency. Please refer to Intermex
Compliance Program for filing information. If a SAR is filed, a copy must be sent to the Compliance Officer
at Intermex.
1. Red Flags regarding information provided:
ID provided to Agent appears to be a forgery

Picture on ID does not match customer’s appearance.
Name on ID does not match customer’s name on application
Employment (occupation) is not verifiable
Home phone is disconnected or person is not known at number given
Customer does not want to provide required information
Customer attempts to reduce amount of transaction when additional or specific documentation
or information is requested
Customer, when questioned, cannot or will not provide source of funds
2. Red Flags regarding amounts or frequency of orders:
Customer frequently sends large sums of money overseas

Customer is “In Transit” and wants to send large sums of money overseas
Customer attempts to send an unusually large amount of money from a city or state that is
different from his residence, for no apparent reason
Customer pays for a large dollar transaction with many small denomination bills
3. Red Flags regarding possible structuring:
Multiple orders name the same sender or beneficiary, or list the same telephone number or address
for a beneficiary, or aggregate to $3,000 on the same day, or are ordered by different people that
arrive together, to different people, with a combination of similar identities, addressed to different
places in the same area, for similar amounts, or a combination of several of the above conditions.
Multiple transactions made to the same area to different beneficiaries by different senders but that all
fall within a pattern or practice on a continuous basis (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) for similar
amounts of money under Intermex $2,000 threshold.
Customer asks many questions about CTR filing and other anti-money laundering requirements with
the apparent intention of evading them.
Customer tries to conduct transactions under two or more names.
These examples of possible criminal activity must be made accessible and thoroughly explained to all
Agents’ employees.
Rev. 030510 8
FILING REPORTS
CREATING AND RETAINING RECORDS
Currency Transaction Report

CTR FinCen Form 104
The U.S. Department of the Treasury requires Intermex, and/or its Agencies or Representatives, (Intermex) to
file a report for each transaction involving currency of more than $10,000. One form is predominantly used to
report currency transactions:
FinCen Form 104
• Purpose of a CTR
The main purpose of reporting currency transactions is to provide law enforcement agencies a way to track or
prevent those engaged in illegal financial activities from using Intermex to launder cash obtained illegally from
the sale of drugs, stolen merchandise, gambling, etc. This does not imply that cash transactions over $10,000
are illegal; most transactions over $10,000 in cash are done for legitimate reasons. The fact that a CTR is
required does not reflect in the legality of the transaction or on the character of the individual initiating the
transaction.
• Uses of a CTR
The CTR has a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, and regulatory investigations and proceedings.
Information from CTRs is used in criminal and tax investigations and prosecutions.
• When is a CTR Required
Intermex is required to report all currency transactions that involve more than $10,000 by or for any one person
on any one-business day. Multiple currency transactions on the same business day are to be treated as a single
transaction if the institution has knowledge that they are by and/or for the same person. To be reportable, there
must be a physical transfer of currency from one person to another.
A transaction, which is a transfer of funds by means of bank check, bank draft, or other written order, and does
not include the physical transfer of currency, is not a reportable transaction.
• Examples of Currency Transactions
The following are examples requiring the preparation and filing of a CTR:
1. A customer remits or receives more than $10,000 in cash from one or several sources in one business day.
2. A customer wants to exchange more than $10,000 in cash for smaller or larger bills.
3. A customer makes several cash transactions that total more than $10,000 in a business day.
Rev. 030510 9
• Reportable Transactions
Reportable transactions include, but are not limited to:
¾ Wire Transfers
¾ Sales of Money Orders
• Multiple Currency Transactions
Intermex shall treat multiple currency transactions as a single transaction if Intermex has knowledge
that they are by or on behalf of any one person and they exceed $10,000 on any one-business day.
Whenever an employee has knowledge of multiple transactions by or for a person, this information
constitutes knowledge on behalf of Intermex. Reasonable effort should be made to identify all multiple
transaction aggregations that exceed $10,000, and that are, therefore, reportable transactions.
• Monetary Instruments
As required by the BSA, Intermex will maintain for the period of five (5) years a Monetary Instruments
Log for the sale of monetary instruments such as money orders and travelers checks which involves
currency in amounts of $3,000 to $10,000 inclusive.
Intermex’s form “High Transaction Form/Money Order Log” must be submitted in a timely fashion
with the following information:
1. Name and address of the purchaser.

2. Social Security number of the purchaser. If the purchaser is an alien and does not have a social
security number, obtain the alien identification number, a passport number, driver’s license
number or ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number)
3. Date of birth of the purchaser.
4. If the individual is purchasing the instruments on behalf of another person or entity, the name,
address, social security or ITIN number, must be obtained and recorded.
5. Date of purchase.
6. Office/Agency where purchased with Agent’s signature
7. Serial numbers of all instruments purchased.
8. Dollar amount of each instrument purchased.
9. Method of verifying identity and specific identifying documentation obtained. (Photocopy of one
item should be kept on file).
Acceptable identification documents are:
U.S. Valid Driver’s License or State Identification Card

U.S. Employment Authorization Card
U.S. Resident Alien Card
U.S. Military Card
Passport
Other official document with Photograph (whether foreign or domestic)
If the documentation is not from the USA, country of issuance must be noted alongside.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Purchase of the same or different types of instruments totaling $3,000 or more must be treated as
one transaction when there is knowledge of the multiple sales. Multiple sales must be noted as
such on the log.
Rev. 030510 10
• Procedure to determine failure of agency to file High Dollar Transaction Form is as follows
1. An Agent Suspicion Report, which shows blocks of monetary instruments of $500 more 6 times in
sequence or within a short amount of time is prepared and handed to the Compliance Officer daily for
review.
2. If the agent has not provided a High Dollar Transaction Form, the agency will be called and questioned
as to whether the same customer bought the monetary instruments.
3. In the event, it was the same customer, the appropriate forms are requested immediately.
4. In the event, the agency informs Intermex that different customers purchased the money orders,
Intermex will investigate the monetary instruments at the end of the month after payment is tendered.
The investigation will focus on whether the same person received the money orders. If it is verified
that the same individual presented the money orders for cash, the agency will receive the first of a
possible 2 written warnings from the Compliance Officer, setting forth their failure to comply with
federal regulations as well as citing the original Agency agreement. Upon the second violation,
Intermex will terminate the relationship with the right granted to them in the original agency
agreement.
• Wire Transfers
For every wire transfer received by Intermex all information required by regulation implementing the Bank
Secrecy Act must be obtained and retained for a period of 5 years. In addition for each wire transfer initiated
by Oklahoma agents for $1,000 or more, Intermex will maintain all information required by the Oklahoma
State Banking Department for a period of at least 3 years. All information must be recorded in Intermex Form
1025 submitted at the time of the payment or transmittal order, with appropriate valid identification, as needed
One valid piece of identification will be kept on file along with the following information:.
The following information must be obtained:
• Name and address of the originator

• Type of identification presented and reviewed, such as:
Driver’s License, State Identification Card, Social Security number, Alien Identification Card, Passport
Number and Country of Issuance, Cedula, or other official identification, with photograph
• Amount of payment order
• Execution date
• Payment instructions received with payment order including:
Name and address of beneficiary
Any other information pertaining to the beneficiary as included in the payment order.
All record keeping requirements as mandated by the Bank Secrecy Act for currency transactions apply to Wire
Transfers. A log for cash transactions between $3,000 and $10,000 inclusive will be maintained, and a CTR
will be filled out for all cash transactions of more than $10,000. Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR-MSB) will
be filed in accordance with the guidelines provided hereunder.
Rev. 030510 11
• Suspicious Activity Report – SAR-MSB Fincen Form 109
Intermex is required to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR-MSB) for transactions aggregating
$2,000 or more that involve potential money laundering or violations of the Bank Secrecy Act. Any
transaction conducted, or attempted by, at or through Intermex and involving or aggregating $2,000 or
more in funds or other assets, if Intermex knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect that:
1. The transaction involves funds derived from illegal activities, or is intended or conducted in order
to hide or disguise funds or assets derived from illegal activities (including without limitation, the
ownership, nature, source, location, or control of such funds or assets) as part of a plan to violate
or evade any law or regulation or to avoid transaction reporting requirements under Federal law.
2. The transaction is designed to evade any regulations promulgated under the Bank Secrecy Act.
3. The transaction has no business or apparent lawful purpose, or is not the sort in which the
customer would normally be expected to engage, and the financial institution knows of no
reasonable explanation for the transaction after examining the available facts, including the
background and possible purpose of the transaction.
The Bank Secrecy Act requires the filing of a currency transaction report (CTR) whenever a currency
transaction exceeds $10,000. If a currency transaction exceeds $10,000 and is suspicious, both a CTR
(reporting the currency transaction) and a SAR (reporting the suspicious or criminal aspects of the
transaction) must be filed. If the suspicious transaction equals or is below $10,000, only a SAR should
be filed.
• Examples of Suspicious Transactions
The following are several examples of suspicious transactions:
1. A customer reduces a cash transaction from $15,000 to $9,000 after you inform him/her that a
CTR must be filed.
2. A small local business makes transactions between $9,000 and $9,500 in cash every day, and you
know that business does not generate that amount of cash. A costumer, who you know or suspect
is involved in an illegal business, makes transactions of $9,500 in cash several times a week.
3. Two or more individuals, who are obviously together, conduct separate cash transactions just
under $10,000, each.
4. A customer exchanges small denomination bills ($5s, $10s, $20s) for large denomination bills
($50s, $100s).
5. A business that is not normally cash-intensive suddenly increases the amount of cash transactions.
6. A customer initiates a large number of wire transfers that are not consistent with his normal
ordinary course of business.
These are only a few examples of suspicious transactions. Any CASH transaction of $2,000 or more that
appears suspicious must be reported on a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the address below, or as
implemented by Intermex reports may be electronically submitted to
http://bsaefiling.FinCEN.treas.gov/main.html.

Rev. 030510 12
• Structuring and Money Laundering
It is a Federal crime to structure a transaction. A “structured” transaction behalf of other persons, conducts or
attempts to conduct one or more is considered to exist when a person acting alone, or in conjunction with, or
on transactions in cash, in any amount, at one or more locations or branches of the Agent or at different
financial institutions, on one or more days, in any manner for the purpose of evading BSA reporting or record
keeping requirements. It also is a crime to assist a customer in structuring a transaction. If the Agent suspects
that a customer is structuring transactions but turns a blind eye to that activity and fails to ask questions, the
Agent may be found guilty of structuring.
Examples:
Juan Garcia brings in $2,000 in cash and asks to send the money to Carmen Vera in Colombia. The
next day Mr. Garcia brings in $2,000 in cash and asks to send the money to Jorge Vera in Colombia. Juan
Garcia may be attempting to evade the BSA Wire Transfer Record keeping requirements. If the Agent
determines that Mr. Garcia is structuring transactions, he or she must NOT complete the transaction. In
addition, the Agent must follow the procedures for handling suspicious transactions.
The Agent sees Donna Green and Sue Smith enter the Agency together and speaking with each other.
Each hands over less than $10,000 in cash and asks to send the money to Canada. The orders requested Ms.
Green and Ms. Smith send both to Andrew White and total more than $10,000. Donna Green and Sue Smith
may be attempting to evade the CTR reporting requirements. If the Agent determines that Ms. Green and
Ms. Smith are structuring transactions, he or she must NOT complete the transactions. In addition, the
Agent must follow the procedures for handling suspicious transactions.
• Money Laundering Statutes
It also is a Federal crime for any person to knowingly engage in any commercial or financial transaction or
international transportation or transmission of funds with the proceeds of drug trafficking or other criminal
activity. Knowledge may be established by proving that the person was “willfully blind” or “deliberately
indifferent” to the source or origin of the funds.
Examples
Jack King brings in $49,500 in cash and asks to send it to his mother in Europe. He mentions to the
Agent that he has made money selling drugs and wants to share it with his mother. The Agent has knowledge
that the funds used for the transfer are proceeds of drug trafficking. Because the Agent knows the funds are
criminally derived, he or she must NOT complete the transaction. In addition, if the Agent completes the
transaction that he or she knows or suspects may involve the proceeds of drug trafficking or other criminal
activity, he or she may be guilty of money laundering.
Mark Lee is unemployed. He asks to send $15,000 to his father in Asia. Because this is a suspicious
transaction, the Agent must question Mr. Lee about the source of the funds. Only if the Agent is fully satisfied
that the funds are legitimately derived, may he or she complete the transaction. If the Agent does not question
Mark Lee about the source of the funds in order to establish that the funds are not proceeds of criminal
activity, and the funds are the proceeds of drug trafficking or other criminal activity, the Agent may be
considered to be willfully blind to the source of the funds. If the Agent completes the transaction, he or she
may be guilty of money laundering.
Rev. 030510 13
• Procedures for Handling Suspicious Transactions
Upon becoming aware of a suspicious transaction or activity, the Agent must investigate the situation.
1. If the transaction or activity appears to represent structuring to evade BSA reporting or record
keeping requirements, or other criminal or unusual activity and no reasonable explanation is
apparent, the transaction must NOT be completed. In addition, the Agent must file a SAR report
in accordance with the BSA requirements and Intermex policies and procedures, and must send a
copy of the SAR to Intermex, by fax.
2. If the transaction or activity being reported on a SAR appears to be part of an ongoing scheme, the
Agent should consider notifying, by telephone the IRS (either by calling the local IRS/Criminal
Investigation Division office or the IRS Hotline number, 1-800-CTRS), and should notify
Intermex Compliance Department.
3. A transaction that is reported on a SAR may also require reporting on a CTR, if it involves more
than $10,000 in cash on one business day.
4. The Agent MUST NOT NOTIFY any person he/she has been reported on a SAR.
The Bank Secrecy Act Policy, The BSA Compliance Program and the Procedures for the timely
completion of the Currency Transaction Report (CTR), Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), the
Monetary Instrument Log, Wire Transfer Log and Record Retention Schedule, fulfill Intermex’s
commitment to actively participate in the eradication of money laundering and other financial
crimes, as required by law and regulation.

INTERMEX TRAINING PROGRAM
Intermex is committed to provide its Agents and/or Representatives, with training on the Bank Secrecy Act,
Part 103 – Financial Record keeping and Reporting of Currency and Foreign Transactions, and other Federal
and State Regulations pertaining to the fight against Money Laundering.
For this purpose, Intermex has developed a Bank Secrecy Act Policy and has prepared a Bank Secrecy Act
Compliance Program that contains all the parameters by which Intermex, its Agents and/or Representatives,
will conduct their business based on the Agent Agreements signed with Intermex.
The following training procedures are part of the Intermex Agent Compliance Program:
1. Training of Agency/Owner
The Agent/owner must complete a training offered by the sales representative and have a good
understanding of Intermex policy and procedures documented in the Intermex Reference Manual. The
agent/owner will receive a refresher course yearly, but will continue to receive information of
regulatory matters on a consistent basis.
2. Training of Agency Personnel

The Agent must provide all employees with training promptly after joining the Agent’s staff. On an
annual basis the Agent will provide a refresher course to all staff members and will review the
regulations and procedures (including Intermex Forms 1025, and High Dollar Transaction, CTRs and
SARs). If regulations and/or procedures are enacted, Intermex will provide the new material to the
Agent and will require that they be timely introduced to all staff members.

RECORD RETENTION
In order to maintain compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act Record Retention requirements, Intermex, its Agents
and/or Representatives (Intermex) must adhere to the following instructions, as applicable:
Record Retention:
The Bank Secrecy Act requires that records and supporting documents be retained for potential review by
regulatory agencies for a period of FIVE (5) YEARS. This information must be maintained in a manner that
permits it to be accessible within a reasonable period of time.
Records may consist of originals, copies or microfilm copies. Records made in the ordinary course of business
may be used to meet these requirements. If not generated by routine record keeping, records are to be prepared in
writing by the party(s) handling the transaction(s).
The Bank Secrecy Act rules generally require Bank Secrecy Act information to be retained for a period of five
years, unless otherwise noted, thus the mentioned documents and any other BSA document, unless specifically
excluded, fall within these rules:
Customs Form 4790 – Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments

(Department of the Treasury) and supporting documentation..
FinCen Form 104 – Currency Transaction Report and supporting documentation.

Property of Intermex
ACTA DE SIGILO BANCARIO
El Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA) fue creado por el Congreso el año 1970 para combatir
el lavado de dinero y otros crímenes financieros.
El BSA requiere que muchas instituciones financieras generen un “camino de papeles”

haciendo reportes manteniendo información de ciertas transacciones. Estos reportes son
suministrados al Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos a la dependencia Red
de Control de Crímenes Financieros (FinCEN). FinCEN colecta y analiza la información
para darle soporte a las entidades investigadoras policiales y de proveer a los encargados
de promulgar políticas con análisis estratégico de procesos, patrones y tipologías de
lavado de dinero a nivel mundial.
Los requisitos de reportes y almacenamiento de información son aplicados a bancos,

cajas de ahorro, cooperativas incluyendo negocios de servicios de dinero (MSB).
Aparte de esta guía general, hay otros requisitos que pudieran ser obligación de un MSB
específico. Por favor visite la página web www.fincen.gov para más información.
LAVADO DE DINERO
Cuando criminales tratan de esconder o disfrazar la procedencia de dinero ilegal

convirtiéndolo en fondos que aparentan ser legítimos se llama lavado de dinero.
Cada año los lavadores de dinero tratan de ocultar la procedencia de dinero ilícito
pasando cientos de millones de dólares por el sistema financiero, incluyendo negocios de
servicio de dinero (MSB). El lavado es mas éxito cuando los criminales no tienen que
dejar un “rastro de papel” que una el dinero al crimen cometido. Los organismos
policiales pueden seguir “rastro de papel” creado por los reportes y la información de las
instituciones financieras.
Siguiendo los requisitos federales de mantenimiento de información y reportes, usted

puede ayudar a los organismos policiales a prevenir que los criminales se escapen -con
sus ganancias- de ser penalizados.
Rev 01/21/10
Actividades Sospechosas
Una actividad sospechosa es una transacción o el intento de hacer una transacción o un

patrón de transacciones que usted sabe, sospecha o tiene motivos para sospechar y reúne
alguna de estas condiciones:
9 Contiene dinero de alguna actividad criminal
9 Esta diseñada para evadir requisitos del Acta de Sigilo Bancario, ya sea por
estructuración u otros medios.
9 Aparenta no tener sentido de negocios o algún otro sentido legal y que otros
factores pertinentes no provean de una explicación razonable.
9 Utiliza a un negocio de servicios de dinero para facilitar el crimen.
Ejemplos de posibles actividades sospechosas:
Un empleado utiliza una identificación falsa, o varias identificaciones en

ocasiones diferentes (nombres y direcciones pueden ser diferentes)
Dos o mas clientes utilizan el mismo documento (con fotos y nombres diferentes)
Estructuración
Diseñar una transacción con el propósito de evadir requisitos de reportes u obtención de

información es “estructurar”. La estructuración es un crimen federal, y tiene que ser
reportado mediante un Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa (SAR).
Ejemplos:
Un cliente separa una transacción grande en dos o más transacciones pequeñas.
Un hombre quiere hacer una transacción de $12,000 en efectivo. Pero sabiendo

que hay que reportar transacciones de más de $10,000, procede a partir las
transacciones en dos de $6,000 cada una.
Una transacción grande es partida en dos o mas para ser efectuadas por dos o mas
personas.
Una mujer quiere hacer un envío de $5,000, pero sabiendo que hay que reportar
transacciones de más de 3,000; ella hace un envío de $2,500 y le dice a su amiga
que haga otro envío de $2,500.
Rev 01/21/10
Señales de Alerta
Hay muchos factores que pueden ser “señales de alerta” que nos indiquen que una
transacción pueda ser sospechosa. Al observar estas señales deberíamos hacernos algunas
preguntas como:
9 ¿La cantidad de dinero parece ser muy grande para el cliente típico, o el negocio
de servicios de dinero?
9 ¿El cliente hace este tipo de transacciones mas frecuentemente que lo normal?
9 ¿El tipo de transacción parece ser normal para este cliente o negocio?
Ejemplos:
El cliente presenta identificación falsa.
Dos o más clientes usan el mismo documento.
El cliente cambia los montos después de saber que tiene que presentar
identificación.
El cliente hace transacción justo por debajo de los límites de reporte.
Dos o más clientes, tratando de evadir el reporte de BSA, aparentan estar

trabajando juntos para partir la transacción en dos o mas.
Un cliente, tratando de evadir el reporte BSA, utiliza servicios de dos o más

negocios de dinero (MSB) en el mismo día para partir la transacción.
Si es obvio que un cliente a cometido un crimen –como por ejemplo ofrecer una coima o
haya admitido un crimen- la ley requiere que uno reporte en un SAR si la cantidad es de
$2,000 o mas.
Recuerde:
9 Usted tiene 30 días para reportar un SAR después que usted supo de una
transacción o un patrón de transacciones o actividades sospechosas.
9 Cuando usted reporta una actividad sospechosa la ley lo protege de

responsabilidad civil.
9 La ley no le pide acusar a nadie de un crimen – usted solo tiene que reportar en un
SAR si usted sospecha de una actividad que la cantidad es de $2,000 o mas.
Rev 01/21/10
9 Si se presenta una situación urgente, contacte a las autoridades pertinentes
inmediatamente; después remita un SAR.
9 Es ilegal decirle a cualquier persona envuelta en las transacciones que se ha

enviado un SAR.

Rev 01/21/10
PROGRAMAS DE ANTI-LAVADO DE DINERO
Todos los MSBs están requeridos por el gobierno, de mantener en funcionamiento un

programa de anti-lavado de dinero (AML). La regulación federal que requiere que los
MSBs desarrollen y mantengan un programa de anti-lavado esta el 31 CFR 103.125.
Cada programa deberá ser desarrollado de acuerdo al riesgo que cada negocio posea en
cuanto a ubicación, tamaño, naturaleza y volumen de los servicios financieros que este
provea. Por ejemplo, un MSB grande que procesa un alto volumen de envíos en Los
Angeles, tiene un riesgo mas alto que un cambiador de cheques pequeño en Idazo. Por lo
tanto, el remesador en California deberá tener un programa de anti-lavado mas complejo,
de acuerdo al riesgo mas alo que este posee, que el negocio mas pequeño en Idaho que es
de bajo riesgo en cuanto a lavado de dinero. Un programa eficaz es diseñado para prever
que el MSB sea utilizado y facilite el lavado de dinero.
Un programa de Anti-lavado eficaz tiene que estar por escrito y deberá:
Incorporar políticas, procedimientos y controles internos razonablemente

diseñados para asegurar el cumplimiento con las leyes BSA;
Designar un oficial de cumplimiento responsable por vigilar día a día el

cumplimiento de las leyes BSA;
Proveer educación y entrenamiento a los empleados; y
Tener un proceso de revisión independiente para monitorear y mantener el

programa.
Rev 01/21/10
OFICINA DEL CONTROL DE ACTIVOS EXTRANJEROS (OFAC)
La Oficina del Control de Activos Extranjeros (OFAC) del Departamento del Tesoro
administra y aplica sanciones económicas basadas en la política exterior de los Estados
Unidos y de seguridad nacional que atacan ciertos gobiernos, grupos terroristas,
narcotraficantes internacionales y todos aquellos que estén tras el desarrollo de armas de
destrucción en masa.
Intermex ha implementado un sistema de filtros OFAC que protege a la empresa de los

individuos que son específicamente designados como personas o entidades bloqueadas.
Todas las transacciones de envíos pasan a través del filtro, ya sea al entrar o salir de los
Estados Unidos. El sistema inmediatamente detecta una similitud y transfiere la
transacción a un archivo especial que es revisado por el departamento de cumplimiento.
Luego se procede a la verificación de la identidad del individuo retenido por el filtro por
medio de la suministración de los documentos de identidad.
Si la similitud resulta negativa, la transacción será procesada inmediatamente, y el envío

llegara a su destino. Si el sistema detectara un apersona bloqueada, Intermex deberá
bloquear la transacción y seguir los reglamentos y regulaciones estipuladas por la Oficina
del Control de Activos Extranjeros.
PENALIDADES CIVILES Y CRIMINALES
Penalidades tanto civiles como criminales pueden ser adjudicadas por violaciones de las
leyes y regulaciones de anti-lavado. Estas penalidades pueden ser multas y también pena
de cárcel. Un MSB que no cumple con los requisitos del BSA puede recibir penas hasta
de $500 por negligencia y por violaciones adrede: la cantidad de la transacción (hasta
$100,000) o $25,000. Bajo algunas circunstancias, los negocios pueden ser culpables por
crímenes cometidos por los empleados. La pena máxima por violar las regulaciones BSA
es una multa hasta de $500,000 o prisión por un término de 10 años o ambos.
Por lo tanto, es imperativo que los empleados sean entrenados y educados de cómo
cumplir con las regulaciones BSA, y que exista un sistema funcionando que asegure que
los empleados están cumpliendo con las leyes y regulaciones de Anti-lavado.
Los MSB pueden ser de mucha ayuda para el gobierno federal en lucha contra el lavado
de dinero. Por lo menos, los MSBs deberán diligenciar los reportes correctamente,
enviarlos a tiempo, crear y mantener el programa adecuado de cumplimiento y seguir las
sugerencias que el Departamento del Tesoro provee.

THE BANK SECRECY ACT
The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) was enacted by Congress in 1970 to fight money
laundering and other financial crimes.
The BSA requires many financial institutions to create “paper trails” by keeping records
and filing reports on certain transactions. These reports are submitted to the U.S.
Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
FinCEN collects and analyzes the information to support law enforcement investigative
efforts and to provide U.S. policy makers with strategic analyses of domestic worldwide
money laundering developments, trends and patterns.
The BSA’s reporting and recordkeeping provisions apply to banks, savings and loans,
and credit unions as well as other financial institutions, including money services
businesses (MSBs).
In addition to the general guidelines provided here, other BSA requirements may apply to
a specific MSB. Please visit www.msb.gov for more regulatory information.
MONEY LAUNDERING
When criminals try to hide or disguise the source of their illegal money by converting it
to funds that appear legitimate, the process is called “money laundering.”
Every year, money launderers try to cover up the illegal source of their money by
funneling hundreds of millions of dollars through financial institutions, including money
services businesses (MSBs). Money laundering is most likely to be successful when
criminals avoid leaving a “paper trail” of transactions linking the money back to their
crime. Law enforcement can follow the “paper trail” created from reports and records of
financial institutions.
By following federal recordkeeping and reporting requirements, you can help law
enforcement prevent criminals from getting away with – and profiting from – their
crimes.

Suspicious Activity
Suspicious activity is any conducted or attempted transaction or pattern of transactions

that you know, suspect or have reason to suspect meets any of the following conditions:
9 Involves money from criminal activity.

9 Is designed to evade Bank Secrecy Act requirements, whether through structuring
or other means.
9 Appears to serve no business or other legal purpose and for which available facts
provide no reasonable explanation.
9 Involves use of the money services business to facilitate criminal activity.
Examples of Possible Suspicious Activity:
A customer uses a false ID, or multiple IDs on different occasions (name, address,
or identification number may be different).
Two or more customers use the same or similar IDs (photo or name may be
different).
Structuring
Designing a transaction to evade triggering a reporting or recordkeeping requirement is

called “structuring.” Structuring is a federal crime, and must be reported by filing a
Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
Examples
A customer breaks a large transaction into two or more smaller transactions.
A man wants to conduct a transaction involving $12,000 in cash. However,

knowing that the cash threshold of more than $10,000 for filing a CTR would be
met, he conducts two cash transactions of $6,000 each.
A large transaction is broken into two or more smaller transactions conducted by

two or more people.
A woman wants to send a $5,000 money transfer, but knowing that the threshold
of $3,000 or more for recording of funds transfers would be met; she sends a
$2,500 money transfer and asks her friend to send a $2,500 money transfer.

Red Flags
There are a number of possible factors, or “red flags,” which signal that an activity or
transaction might be suspicious. Observing a “red flag” should trigger some questions,
such as:
9 Is the amount of the transaction unusually large for the typical customer or for the
MSB?
9 Does the customer make the same or similar transactions more frequently than
normal?
9 Does the type of transaction seem unusual for the customer or the MSB?
Examples:
Customer uses fake ID.

Two or more customers use similar IDs.
Customer changes a transaction after learning that he or she must show ID.
Customer conducts transactions so that they fall just below amounts that require
reporting or recordkeeping.
Two or more customers, trying to evade BSA requirements, seem to be working
together to break one transaction into two or more transactions.
Customer, trying to evade BSA requirements, uses two or more MSB locations or
cashiers on the same day to break one transaction into smaller transactions.
If a customer does something obviously criminal – such as offering a bribe or even

admitting to a crime – the law requires you to file a SAR if it involves or aggregates
funds or other assets of $2,000 or more.
Remember:
9 You have 30 calendar days to file a SAR after becoming aware of any suspicious
transaction or pattern of suspicious transactions or activities that are required to be
reported.
9 When you report suspicious activity, the law protects you from civil liability.
9 You are not being asked to accuse customers of criminal activity – you are only
required to file a SAR if you believe the activity is suspicious and involves $2,000
or more.
9 If a situation seems to require immediate attention, contact the appropriate law
enforcement authority right away; then file a SAR.
9 It is illegal to tell any person involved in the transaction that a SAR has been
filed.

RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS
Intermex Form 1025
Intermex must receive a completed form 1025 for money transfers to Colombia of $1,000
or more, for money transfers from Oklahoma State of $1,000 or more and for money
transfers to all other countries of $2,000 or more. The form must be legible, fully
completed and signed both by the agent and the remitter. One valid form of picture
identification document from the remitter must be submitted by fax prior to Intermex
processing the transaction. When a US identification document is presented, for money
transfers of $3,000 and more (Oklahoma for $1,000 or more), a copy of the Social
Security Card or ITIN (IRS Individual Taxpayer ID Number) must be provided.
Acceptable forms of identification include:
US Driver’s License Consular ID Card

US Identification Card Foreign Electoral Card
US Employment Authorization Card Cédula de Identidad
US Resident Alien Card
US Military Card
Passport
In addition to the established limits, Intermex will analyze sender frequency and
accumulated amounts, requiring the sender to provide form 1025 at that time.
Money Transfers of $3,000 or More (Oklahoma for $1,000 or More)
MSBs that accepts an instruction to send or to pay a money transfer must obtain and
record specific information for each money transfer of $3,000 or more (Oklahoma for
$1,000 or more), regardless of the method of payment.
The requirement to record funds transfers requires an MSB to verify by remitter or

beneficiary:
1. Verify customer ID
2. Record customer and transaction information.
3. Sender must provide certain information to the receiving MSB or other receiving
financial institution.
4. Keep the record for 5 years from the date of transaction.

Cash Purchases of Monetary Instruments of $3,000-$10,000 inclusive
MSBs that sell money orders or traveler’s checks are required to record cash purchases
involving $3,000 - $10,000, inclusive. Multiple cash purchases of monetary instruments
totaling $3,000 or more must be treated as one purchase which must be recorded if:
1. They are made at the same time, or
2. The MSB has knowledge that such purchases occurred during one business day.
To record a money order or traveler’s check sale for cash of $3,000-$10,000, inclusive
you must:
1. Verify and record customer information, including ID.
2. Record transaction information – amount, date of sale and serial number(s) for each
instrument.
3. Keep the record for 5 years from the date of transaction.
Suspicious Activity Reporting Requirements
Businesses that provide money transfers; or businesses that issue, sell, or redeem money
orders – must report suspicious activity involving any transaction or pattern of
transactions at or above $2,000 or more:
You have 30 calendar days to file a SAR after becoming aware of any suspicious
transaction that is required to be reported.
To Report Suspicious Activity you must do the following:
1. Record relevant information on a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) FinCen Form 109
available at www.fincen.gov or by calling the IRS Forms distribution Center:
1-800-829-3676.
2. Submit completed SAR to:
Enterprise Computing Center-Detroit

Attn: SAR-MSB
P.O. Box 33117

3. Keep a copy of the report and any supporting documentation for 5 years from the date
of filing the report.
Currency Transaction Reports
MSBs must file a FinCen Form 104 Currency Transaction Report (CTR) within 15 days
whenever a transaction or series of transactions in currency:
9 Involves more than $10,000 in either cash-in or cash-out, and
9 Is conducted by, or on behalf of, the same person, and
9 Is conducted on the same business day.
Multiple cash transactions are considered to be one transaction on which a CTR must be
filed if the MSB has knowledge that:
9 They are by or on behalf of the same customer during one business day, and
9 They are conducted at one or more branches or agents of the same MSB, and
9 They total more than $10,000 in either cash-in or cash-out.
To File a CTR you must:
1. Verify and record customer ID.
2. Record customer transaction information.
3. Make a copy of the completed CTR.
4. Send the original CTR to:

Attn: CTR
P.O. Box 33604
5. Keep a copy of the CTR for 5 years from the date of filing the report.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS
Each MSB is required by law to have an effective anti-money laundering (AML)

compliance program. The regulation requiring MSBs to develop and maintain an AML
compliance program is contained in 31 CFR 103.125.
Each program must be commensurate with the risks posed by the location, size, nature
and volume of the financial services provided by the MSB. For example, a large money
transmitter with a high volume of business located in the Los Angeles area is at higher
risk than a small check casher with a low volume of business located in Boise. Therefore,
the large California money transmitter would be expected to have a more complex AML
compliance program, commensurate with its higher risk, than the smaller Idaho check
casher, who is at lower risk of being used to facilitate money laundering. An effective
program is one designed to prevent the MSB from being used to facilitate money
laundering.
Each AML compliance program must be in writing and must:
Incorporate policies, procedures and internal controls reasonably designed to

assure compliance with the BSA;
Designate a compliance officer responsible for day-to-day compliance with the

BSA and the compliance program;
Provide education and/or training of appropriate personnel; and
Provide for independent review to monitor and maintain an adequate program.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury
administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and
national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international
narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction.
Intermex has implemented an OFAC filter system that safeguards against those
individuals that are specially designated nationals or blocked persons.
All wire transactions flow through the filter, whether leaving or entering the United
States. The OFAC system immediately detects a possible match and transfers the money
transfer transaction to a special file that is reviewed by the Compliance department.
Consequently, the verification of the identity of the individual detected by the system
must take place by way of obtaining and inspecting a valid identification document.
If a false positive match is obtained, the money transfer will be immediately released for
payment. If a positive match is verified, Intermex must block the transaction and follow
all rules and regulations stipulated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES
Civil and criminal penalties can be imposed for violations of anti-money laundering laws
and regulations. Penalties can result in substantial fines and in prison terms. Any
MSB that fails to comply with BSA reporting and record keeping requirements faces
possible civil penalties of up to $500 for negligent violations and the greater of the
following two amounts for willful violations: the amount involved in the transaction (up
to $100,000) or $25,000. Under certain circumstances, businesses can also be held
criminally liable for the acts of their employees. The maximum criminal penalty for
violating a BSA requirement is a fine of up to $500,000 or a term of imprisonment of up
to 10 years, or both.
It is therefore important that employees are thoroughly trained on how to comply with
BSA regulations and that a system is in place to ensure that employees are following all
anti-money laundering laws and regulations.
MSBs can do a great deal to help the federal government in its anti-money laundering
efforts. At a minimum, MSBs should file all BSA reports accurately and in a timely
fashion, create and maintain accurate BSA records for the requisite time period, establish
and maintain appropriate compliance programs and follow all Treasury Department
guidance related to the BSA.

documents and visits from representatives of the law, such as FBI, Police Department,
IRS, etc.
These procedures must be implemented by you, in writing and be visible in your

include the name of the agency compliance officer or the person assigned to this task, the
phone number to contact the compliance officer without delay and instructions on how to

4 OFICINA DE CONTROL DE BIENES
EXTRANJEROS (OFAC)
ESPAÑOL
Protegiendo Nuestra Seguridad Nacional:
La Importancia de Cumplir con
la Oficina de Control de Bienes Extranjeros (OFAC)
para las Empresas de Servicios Monetarios
Hace unos meses, un individuo entró en una Casa de Cambio grande y pagó dinero
en efectivo para enviar un giro a otro país. Ya que la cantidad era pequeña, la casa de
cambio no obtuvo información adicional de identificación del remitente. Cuando el
nombre del remitente se buscó en la lista de la OFAC, se encontró una coincidencia
exacta en la lista de Terroristas Globales Especialmente Designados de la OFAC.
Adicionalmente, el beneficiario estaba en el último país donde se sabía que el
terrorista había estado. En el momento en que la Casa de Cambio buscó en la lista, el
remitente ya no estaba en la oficina. La Casa de Cambio intentó contactar varias
veces al remitente para obtener información adicional que hubiera llevado a conocer
si él era o no el terrorista, y además esperó varios meses antes de avisar a la OFAC.
Luego, de hecho resultó que el remitente era un terrorista y su dinero debio haber
sido bloqueado de inmediato. Como consecuencia, la Casa de Cambio enfrenta
posibles penalidades por su negligencia, y se perdió un punto importante en la lucha
contra el terrorismo.
La Importancia del Cumplimiento con la OFAC
La narración anterior ilustra varios puntos que las Empresas de Servicios Monetarios
(ESM) deben tener en cuenta:
1) Las ESM no pueden ignorar la responsabilidad de cumplir con la OFAC
Las ESM son una alternativa importante a las instituciones bancarias tradicionales y
pueden ser utilizadas por terroristas y narcotraficantes para transferir dinero dirigido a
propósitos delictivos. Si las ESM no adoptan los procedimientos necesarios para
proteger las transacciones, se crean medios que facilitan el movimiento de dinero de
delincuentes y amenazan la seguridad nacional.
2) Es ilegal facilitar la transferencia de dinero a una Persona Especialmente

Designada, sin importar el monto de la transacción.
Contrario a lo que generalmente se cree las regulaciones de la OFAC no hacen

excepciones a transacciones pequenas. Una ESM puede ser castigada por procesar
una transacción de cualquier monto si una Persona Especialmente Designada o de la
lista de Personas Bloqueadas de la OFAC toma parte en la transacción. Impedir e
informar todas las transacciones que involucran objetivos sancionables, sin tener en
cuenta el monto, puede prevenir un acto terrorista u otra actividad que amenace la
seguridad nacional americana y los objetivos de su política extranjera.
3) La OFAC recomienda que las ESM recolecten toda la información del
remitente y del beneficiario antes que el remitente abandone la oficina.
Para determinar si el participante de una transacción está en la lista de Personas

Especialmente Designadas de la OFAC, la ESM debe recolectar toda la información
necesaria acerca del remitente antes que este salga de la oficina. El principio,
"conocer al cliente", incluye pedir documentación que compruebe la identidad del
cliente para ser comparada con los individuos y entidades de la lista de Personas
Especialmente Designadas de la OFAC. Si la ESM no obtiene la información mientras
el remitente está en la oficina, puede ser imposible obtenerla despues. Esto puede
impedir la posibilidad de determinar si hay una coincidencia con la lista de la OFAC, lo
cual puede causar un retraso en la notificación a las autoridades competentes, cuando
se trata de un criminal.
4) Cuando una ESM descubre que una Persona Especialmente Designada de la lista
OFAC está involucrada en una transferencia de dinero, la OFAC debe ser notificada
de inmediato.
Es sumamente importante que la ESM llame a la OFAC si determina que una Persona
Especialmente Designada de la lista de la OFAC esta enviando o recibiendo una
transferencia de dinero. Conocer la ubicación exacta de un terrorista o de un
narcotraficante conocido, es muy importante para las autoridades competentes. Las
ESM tienen la responsabilidad de mantener está información actualizada.
¿Qué es la OFAC?
La Oficina de Control de Bienes Extranjeros (OFAC por sus siglas en inglés) es una
oficina del Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos. La OFAC está autorizada por
el Presidente para administrar y reforzar los programas de sanciones del gobierno
estadounidense.
Estos programas incluyen tanto sanciones para países como Cuba, Irán, y Sudán,
como sanciones para individuos y entidades cuyos nombres aparecen en las listas de
Nacionales Especialmente Designados y Personas Bloqueadas. En el sitio web
www.treas.gov/ofac se pueden consultar las versiones más recientes de estas listas
(SDN) e información acerca de los programas de los paises sancionados.
Las sanciones económicas son usadas por el gobierno estadounidense para prevenir
que los países, entidades, e individuos, usen el sistema financiero estadounidense
para propósitos que van contra la política extranjera de EE.UU. y sus objetivos de
seguridad nacional.
Lista de Nacionales Especialmente Designados y Lista de Personas

Bloqueadas
La OFAC y el Departamento de Estado han “señalado” oficialmente a varios agentes

extranjeros y organizaciones de fachada, así como terroristas, organizaciones
terroristas, y narcotraficantes. Las personas señaladas y las entidades identificadas se
incluyen en las listas de la OFAC que contienen más de 5,000 variantes en los
nombres de individuos, entidades gubernamentales, compañías, y buques mercantes
localizados en todo el mundo. Para cerciorarse que las transacciones ilícitas
involucrando países, personas y entidades de la lista OFAC no sean procesadas,
muchos bancos norteamericanos y corporaciones están usando un sofisticado
software de “interdicción” desarrollado por el sector privado, para marcar las
transacciones cuestionables que deben ser revisadas. Si este software marca una
transacción como coincidencia potencial con alguna entrada en las listas de la OFAC,
se deben seguir ciertos pasos descritos en la próxima sección, para verificar que la
coincidencia es real antes de llamar a la OFAC o tomar alguna acción con respecto al
hallazgo.
Cómo Determinar si se encuentra una coincidencia con las Listas de la OFAC
El software de interdicción es una herramienta que ayuda a identificar coincidencias

potenciales con la lista de la OFAC. Con el uso de este software inevitablemente
habran muchos "positivos” falsos. Como consecuencia, se deben tomar ciertos pasos
de “la debida diligencia” para cerciorarse que una coincidencia es una buena
coincidencia, es decir, para determinar si un individuo que hace parte de las
instrucciones de pago está en la lista de la OFAC. La siguiente puede ser utilizada
como guía para determinar si hay una buena coincidencia:
1. Si la coincidencia está en la lista de países objetivo o está en alguna otra lista (por
ejemplo, Lista del Departamento de Comercio EE.UU. o PEP, la CIA, Países no
Cooperativos, Lista Consolidada Canadiense (OSFI), Participantes Inhabilitados por el
Banco Mundial, Archivo de Oficiales Bloqueados, o funcionarios del gobierno de un
País Señalado) cual fue la coincidencia?
• Si el nombre está en las listas de la OFAC o de países objetivo,

continúe con el paso 2.
• Si está en alguna otra lista, debe avisar al “guardián” de esa lista.

Para preguntas sobre: (1) La Lista de Personas y Entidades Denegadas,
por favor avise a la Oficina de Industria y Seguridad del Departamento de
Comercio EE.UU. en el 202-482-4811, (2) Lista de personas solicitadas por
el FBI o cualquier otra lista del FBI, revise el sitio web
www.fbi.gov/contact/fo.htm, (3) Lista de Participantes Inhabilitados, por
favor avise a la Oficina de Control del Comercio en Materiales de Defensa
del Departamento de Estado EE.UU., 202-663-2700, o (4) Ley del Secreto
Bancario y Ley Patriota USA, por favor avise a la Red para el Combate del
Delito Financiero (FinCEN) en el 1-800-949-2732.
• Si usted no está seguro quien debe ser avisado, contacte al proveedor del
software de interdicción que le avisó de la coincidencia.
• Si usted no puede identificar la coincidencia, debe avisar al proveedor del

software de interdicción.
2. Una vez establezca que hay una coincidencia con las listas de la OFAC o países
objetivo, se debe evaluar la calidad de la coincidencia. Compare el nombre del
individuo o la entidad en las instrucciones de pago con el nombre en la lista de la
OFAC. ¿El nombre en la lista es de un barco o de una compañía? ¿Es el nombre de
un hombre y la persona en la transacción es una mujer, o viceversa?
• Si la respuesta es si a cualquiera de las dos preguntas,

no existe una coincidencia válida.
• Si la respuesta es no, continúe con el paso 3.
3. ¿Qué parte del nombre de la persona en la transacción se encuentra en la lista?

¿Solo el nombre o el apellido?
• Si la respuesta es si, no existe una coincidencia válida.
4. Compare la entrada completa de la lista de la OFAC con toda la información que

tiene en las instrucciones de pago. Una entrada en esa lista a menudo tiene, por
ejemplo, el nombre completo, la dirección, la nacionalidad, el pasaporte, la
identificación de contribuyente, el número de cedula, el lugar de nacimiento, la fecha
de nacimiento, nombres anteriores y seudónimos. ¿Faltan algunos de estos datos en
las instrucciones del pago?
• Si la respuesta es si, obtenga más información y vuelva a compararla con el

registro en la lista.
5. ¿Hay similitudes importantes o coincidencias exactas entre la información

proporcionada por el remitente y la entrada en la lista de la OFAC?
• Si la respuesta es sí, por favor llame al 1-800-540-6322.
• Si la respuesta es no, usted no tiene una coincidencia válida. *
* Si usted tiene razón para creer que al permitir a esta persona hacer negocios en los
Estados Unidos violaría cualquier Regulacion, debe llamar a la línea 1-800-540-6322 y
explicar lo que sabe o cree.
Poniendo la “Debida Diligencia” en Práctica
Para determinar si un individuo o una entidad está o no en la lista de la OFAC, se debe

recolectar la mayor información como posible y realizar una comparación entre los
datos de las personas en sus instrucciones de pago y los individuos y entidades en la
lista de la OFAC. El siguiente es un ejemplo sobre cómo una ESM puede poner en
práctica la “Debida Diligencia” .
Un individuo entra en la oficina de una ESM con la intención de hacer una

transferencia de US$200.00 a un individuo en Colombia. Él diligencia las instrucciones
de pago:
Orden del pago
Remitente:
Francisco Perdomo; 12345 Calle Principal, Ciudad, Estado, EE.UU. Codigo Postal
11111; Número de teléfono: (122) 456-7890
Institución que Recibe:
Banco Agrario de Colombia; Bogotá, Colombia,
Beneficiario:
Eugenio Menezes; Carrera 0, 12-34, Bogotá, Colombia,
Cuando se revisan los datos de la transacción a través del software de interdicción de

la ESM, el empleado ve las siguientes alarmas:
9 El Remitente, Francisco Perdomo, es una coincidencia potencial con Eugenio

Vargas Perdomo.
9 El Beneficiario, Eugenio Menezes, es una coincidencia potencial con Francisco
Dorneles de Menezes.
Con esta información marcada, el personal de la ESM debe determinar si los

individuos involucrados en la transacción son realmente los individuos de la lista de la
OFAC. Si se obedecio al principio de "Conocer al cliente", ¿se obtuvo la identificación
válida de Francisco Perdomo cuando entró en la oficina? ¿El proporcionó un
documento válido como una licencia de conducir, un pasaporte u otra forma de
identificación? Si no se hizo esto, tal vez falló la Debida Diligencia con respecto a la
OFAC.
¿Qué sucede si quien entró a la oficina era Eugenio Vargas Perdomo? En la lista de la
OFAC, el Sr. Perdomo es un Narcotraficante Especialmente Designado de Colombia.
El gobierno de los Estados Unidos ha identificado su fecha de nacimiento como
Noviembre 18 de 1969, su lugar de nacimiento es una ciudad de Colombia y su
número de cédula es 17344616. (El número de cedula es el equivalente colombiano
de un numero al Seguro Social de EE.UU.) Adicionalmente, el Sr. Perdomo usa el
seudónimo Francisco Dorneles De Menezes. Ahora hay suficientes similitudes entre
los nombres en las instrucciones de pago, que son una combinación de nombres y
alias en la lista de la OFAC, que ameritan recolectar mas información del cliente y
llamar a la línea de emergencia de la OFAC. Usted debe comparar la fecha de
nacimiento, el lugar de nacimiento, y otra informacion para estar seguro que su cliente
y cualquier otro individuo en las instrucciones de pago no está en la lista de la OFAC.

ENGLISH
Protecting Our National Security:
The Critical Nature of OFAC Compliance for
Money Service Businesses
A few months ago, an individual walked into a large Money Service Business (MSB) and paid cash to send a
wire overseas. Because the amount was small, the MSB did not obtain additional identifying information from
the remitter. When the remitter’s name was run against OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked
Persons list, it was an exact match to that of a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. In addition, the beneficiary
was located in the country where the terrorist was last known to be. By the time the MSB ran its OFAC scan on
the name, the remitter was no longer in the office. The MSB attempted several times to contact the remitter to
obtain additional information which would have either definitively identified him as the terrorist or cleared him,
but the MSB waited several months before contacting OFAC. As it turns out, the remitter was in fact a terrorist
target and his funds should have been blocked immediately. The MSB now faces possible civil penalties for its
negligence, and an important lead in the fight against terrorism was lost.
The Importance of OFAC Compliance

The above scenario illustrates a number of key points for MSBs to keep in mind:
1) MSBs cannot ignore their OFAC compliance responsibilities.
MSBs are an important alternative to traditional banking institutions and may be used by terrorists and narcotics
traffickers to transfer money for nefarious purposes. If MSBs neglect to adopt procedures for screening
transactions, this creates an available means for criminals to move money and threatens U.S. national security.
2) It is illegal to facilitate a money transfer to an SDN, regardless of the amount of the transfer.
Contrary to a common misconception, the OFAC regulations do not contain an exception for deminimis
transactions. An MSB may be penalized for processing a transaction of any amount if a Specially Designated
National or Blocked Person (SDN) is a party to the transaction. By interdicting and reporting all transactions
involving sanctions targets, regardless of the amount, you may well prevent a terrorist act or other activity that
threatens to undermine U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.
3) OFAC recommends that MSBs collect all information on the remitter and the beneficiary before the remitter
leaves the office.
To determine if a party to a transaction is on OFAC’s SDN list, the MSB should collect all necessary
information from the remitter before he or she leaves the office. This “know your customer” principle entails
asking for documentation proving the identity of your customer in order to compare it to the individuals and
entities on the SDN list. If the MSB does not validate the identity and contact information of the remitter before
he or she leaves the office, it may be unable to obtain the information at a later time. This will make it
impossible to determine whether or not there is a true match to the list and delay notification of law enforcement
when a criminal is involved.
4) When an MSB discovers that an SDN is involved in a funds transfer, OFAC should be notified immediately.
It is absolutely critical that an MSB call OFAC if it determines that an SDN is originating or receiving a funds
transfer. Knowing the exact location of a known terrorist or narcotics trafficker is valuable information for law
enforcement. MSBs have a responsibility not to let the information become outdated!
What is OFAC?
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is an office of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. OFAC is
empowered by the President to administer and enforce the U.S. government’s sanctions programs. These
programs include both country sanctions, such as Cuba, Iran, and Sudan, as well sanctions placed on individuals
and entities whose names are place on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) list. See
www.treas.gov/ofac for the most recent version of the SDN list and country sanctions program brochures.
Economic sanctions are used by the U.S. government to prevent targeted countries, entities, and individuals
from, among other things, accessing the U.S. financial system for purposes that are contrary to U.S. foreign
policy and national security objectives.
Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List

OFAC and the Department of State have officially “designated” numerous foreign agents and front
organizations, as well as terrorists, terrorist organizations, and narcotics traffickers. The designated persons and
entities are identified on OFAC’s SDN list, which contains over 5,000 variations on names of individuals,
governmental entities, companies, and merchant vessels located around the world. To ensure that illicit
transactions involving targeted countries and SDNs are not processed, many U.S. banks and corporations are
using sophisticated “interdiction” software, developed by the private sector, to flag questionable transactions for
review. If such software flags an item as a potential match to OFAC’s SDN list, certain “due diligence” steps
outlined in the next section of this brochure should be taken to verify whether it is an actual match before
contacting OFAC or taking action with regard to the match.
How to Determine if You Have an Exact Match to the SDN List

Interdiction software is a tool to help identify potential matches with OFAC’s SDN list. Inevitably, there will be
many “false positives” with the use of this software. Therefore, certain “due diligence” steps should be taken to
ensure that a “hit” is a “good hit,” i.e., to determine whether an individual or entity on your payment instructions
is on the SDN list. The following is a guide on how to determine if you have a “good hit” when evaluating
potential matches against the SDN list:
1. Is the “hit” or “match” listed on the payment instructions against OFAC’s SDN list or targeted countries, or
is it “hitting” for some other reason (i.e., Commerce Control List or PEP, CIA, No n-Cooperative Countries and
Territories, Canadian Consolidated List (OSFI), World Bank Debarred Parties, Blocked Officials File, or
government official of a designated country), or can you tell what the hit is?
• If the name is hitting against OFAC’s SDN list or targeted countries, continue to Step 2 below.
• If it is hitting for some other reason, you should contact the “keeper” of whichever other list the match is
hitting against. For questions about: (1) The Denied Persons List and the Entities List, please contact the
Bureau of Industry and Security at the U.S. Department of Commerce at 202-482-4811, (2) The FBI’s
Most Wanted List or any other FBI-issued watch list, please see the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s
website at www.fbi.gov/contact/fo/fo.htm, (3) The Debarred Parties List, please contact the Office of
Defense Trade Controls at the U.S. Department of State, 202-663-2700, or (4) The Bank Secrecy Act
and the USA PATRIOT Act, please contact the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) at 1-
800-949-2732.
• If you are unsure whom to contact, please contact the provider of the interdiction software that told you
there was a hit.
• If you cannot tell what the hit is, you should contact the provider of the interdiction software which told
2
you there was a hit.
2. Now that you have established that the hit is against OFAC’s SDN list or targeted countries, you must
evaluate the quality of the hit. Compare the name of the individual or entity on your payment instructions with
the name on the SDN list. Is th e name on the SDN list a vessel or a company rather than an individual (or vice-
versa)? Is the name on the SDN list a male’s name whereas the person on your payment instructions is a
female?
• If yes to either question, you do not have a valid match.*

• If no, please continue to Step 3 below.
3. How much of the SDN’s name is matching against the name on your payment instructions? Is only one of two
or more names matching (i.e., just the last name or just the first name)?
• If yes, you do not have a valid match.*

4. Compare the complete SDN entry with all of the information you have on the matching name on your
payment instructions. An SDN entry often will have, for example, a full name, address, nationality, passport, tax
ID or cedula number, place of birth, date of birth, former names and aliases. Are you missing a lot of this
information for the name on your payment instructions?
• If yes, go back and get more information and then compare your complete information against the SDN
entry.
5. Are there important similarities or exact matches between the information provided by the remitter and
OFAC’s SDN entry?
• If yes, please call the Hotline at 1-800-540-6322.

• If no, you do not have a valid match.*
* If you have reason to know or believe that allowing this person to do business in the United States would
violate any of the Regulations, you should call the hotline and explain this knowledge or belief.
Putting “Due Diligence” into Practice

Determining whether or not an individual or entity is on the SDN list requires collecting as much information as
possible and performing a comparison between the parties on your payment instructions and the individuals and
entities on the SDN list. The following is an example of how an MSB might approach “due diligence.”
An individual enters an MSB office intending to send a $200.00 funds transfer to an individual in Colombia. He
promptly prepares the following payment instructions :
Payment Order
Originator/By-Order Party:
Francisco Perdomo; 12345 Main Street, Anywhere Town, US 11111; Phone Number: (122)
456-7890
Account-With Institution:
Banco Agrario de Colombia; Bogota, Colombia
Beneficiary:
Eugenio Menezes; Carrera 0, 12-34, Bogota, Colombia
3
When the above transaction data is run through the MSB’s interdiction software, the employee sees the
following alerts:
ü The by-order party, Francisco Perdomo, is a potential match to Eugenio Vargas Perdomo.
ü The beneficiary, Eugenio Menezes, is a potential match to Francisco Dorneles de Menezes.
With this information flagged, your staff must now determine whether the individuals involved in this
transaction are actually the individuals on the SDN list. Have you complied with the requirement to “know your
customer?” Did you obtain valid identification on Francisco Perdomo when he walked into your office? Did he
furnish a valid driver's license, passport, visa or other form of I.D.? If you did not ask these questions , then you
may have "missed the boat" in exercising your due diligence with respect to OFAC compliance.
What if the actual person who came into your office was Eugenio Vargas Perdomo. On the SDN list, Mr.
Perdomo is a Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker Kingpin (SDNTK) located in Colombia. The U.S.
Government has identified his date of birth to be November 19, 1969, his place of birth to be in Colombia, and
his cedula number as 17344616. (A cedula number is the Colombian equivalent of a U.S. social security
number.) Additionally, Mr. Perdomo uses the alias Francisco Dorneles De Menezes. There are enough
similarities between the names on your payment instructions, which are a combination of the SDN’s name and
alias, and the individual on the SDN list to merit collecting much more information from your customer and
calling the OFAC Hotline. You should compare dates of birth, places of birth, and other identifier information
to be sure that your customer and any other individuals on the payment instructions are not on the OFAC list.
