Abstract:
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a notice of proposed rulemaking under the authority of section 5318A of Title 31, United States Code, to impose a special measure against Bank of Dandong. FinCEN has determined that Bank of Dandong is a financial institution of primary money laundering concern, and that the imposition of the special measure selected—prohibiting covered financial institutions from maintaining correspondent accounts for, or on behalf of, Bank of Dandong. In addition, covered financial institutions would be required to apply special due diligence to their foreign correspondent accounts to ensure that they are not used to process transactions involving Bank of Dandong. These additional due diligence steps are necessary to help ensure that Bank of Dandong cannot continue accessing the U.S. financial system indirectly.

Short Statement:
When the final rule was published in November 2017, the number of financial institutions affected by the rule was estimated at 5,000. FinCEN has since revised the estimated number of affected financial institutions upward to account for all domestic financial institutions that could potentially maintain correspondent accounts for foreign banks, and recognizing that, under the final rule, all U.S. financial institutions are required to conduct special due diligence with respect to, and are prohibited from processing transactions involving, financial institutions named in the final rule. There are approximately 17,063 such financial institutions doing business in the United States. As noted, this should not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
