Customer Due Diligence Checklist for NBFIs: Key elements to a strong CDD program
Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) must adhere to Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations and have an anti-money laundering (AML) program commensurate with the risk profile of their business model. Customer due diligence (CDD), commonly known as the fifth pillar of Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance, is the cornerstone of a robust BSA/AML compliance program. In addition to general onboarding procedures your organization requires, it is also critical to know your customers or with whom and where they conduct business. Your CDD program should be aligned with and supported by your risk assessment.
