AML Compliance for
Money Service
Businesses (MSBs)

You're not a bank, so we won't treat you like one.

Like other financial institutions, Money Services Businesses (MSBs) are required to maintain an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program.

 

Unlike other financial institutions, MSBs face additional unique compliance challenges:

 

  • Providing quick and easy access to transactions like money orders, check cashing, currency exchange and money transfer services
  • Transitory customers, making KYC capture challenging
  • Reduced visibility into transactions movement

 

You need a powerful AML solution built to work for MSBs.
