The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) will hold an Informational Webinar on Thursday, October 25, 2012, to discuss Third-Party Payment Processors (“Payment Processors”). This Webinar is in coordination with the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) Consumer Protection Working Group.
The webinar will highlight both the regulatory requirements and the potential risks associated with doing business with Payment Processors for Financial Institutions. FinCEN will discuss its recent Advisory on Payment Processors that highlights potential red flags that could indicate illicit use of Payment Processors. Law enforcement officials will address trends and indicators of suspicious activity associated with Payment Processors, and regulatory officials will discuss the regulatory obligations and requirements.
This Webinar is intended for financial institution participation. We recommend that attendees review the new Advisory on Payment Processors released today, which is available on the FinCEN website (www.fincen.gov).
