AML Policy & Procedures for Prepaid Access
The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), initially adopted in 1970, established the basic framework for anti-money laundering (AML) obligations imposed on financial institutions. Among other things, it authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury Department (Treasury) to issue regulations requiring financial institutions and money services businesses to keep records and file reports on financial transactions that may be useful in investigations and the prosecution of money laundering and other financial crimes. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau within Treasury, is the administrator of the BSA.
Description of Money Laundering
Money laundering is the attempt to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership, or control of illegally obtained money. If illegal money is successfully laundered, criminals maintain control over their illegally obtained funds and they can establish a separate cover for their illicit source of income. The AML laws apply to any funds derived from illegal activities, such as funds held by human smugglers, drug traffickers, terrorists, organized crime, tax evaders, and other groups and individuals seeking to transfer, spend and/or invest money derived from any type of crime.
Money laundering is not limited to cash. Money laundering can be done through any type of financial transaction, including, but not limited to, funds transfers, money orders, checks, debit cards, Prepaid Access such as stored-value cards, and credit card transactions.
FinCEN Requirements for Sale of Prepaid Access
On July 26, 2011, FinCEN issued a Rule (the “Rule”) amending the BSA regulations and establishing comprehensive regulatory requirements for sales of prepaid stored value cards and other prepaid access. “Prepaid Access” means stored value cards or other access devices where funds are prepaid by a customer and subsequently used to make a purchase, reload a general-purpose reloadable (GPR) card, or make a phone call. Prepaid Access also includes stored-value gift cards issued to customers as refunds.
Products sold by this company (including those distributed by Blackhawk Network, Inc. to our company as part of the Alliance Partner network) will be exempt under the FinCEN Rule because they will be limited to: (a) closed-loop stored-value products that permit no more than $2,000 to be associated with (i.e., loaded and reloaded onto) the product per day and that do not permit cash redemptions (except as legally required); and (b) open-loop stored value products that permit no more than $1,000 to be associated with the product per day and that, prior to obtaining customer identification, do not permit (i) international usage; (ii) person-to-person transfers or (iii) reloads from non-depository sources.
Money laundering is the attempt to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership, or control of illegally obtained money. If illegal money is successfully laundered, criminals maintain control over their illegally obtained funds and they can establish a separate cover for their illicit source of income. The AML laws apply to any funds derived from illegal activities, such as funds held by human smugglers, drug traffickers, terrorists, organized crime, tax evaders, and other groups and individuals seeking to transfer, spend and/or invest money derived from any type of crime.
Our company is implementing this policy to avoid the sale of more than $10,000 of Prepaid Access in a single day to a single person, and to avoid being a “Seller of Prepaid Access” as a result of violating the prohibitions on such sales without this policy and procedures being in place.
