Jurisdicción de Estados Unidos,
explicada con claridad.
U.S. jurisdiction,
explained clearly.
The wording is unusually plain. For money services businesses, 31 CFR 1022.210(a)(2)(iii) requires the business to designate a person to assure day-to-day compliance with the programme. Not a team, not a budget line: a person, with an itemised list of what they owe. That list is the clearest statement of the role in United States law, and it is what turns an abstract obligation into something a regulator can point at.
One change on the horizon matters for internationally structured groups, and it is worth stating precisely: under FinCEN’s proposed rule of 10 April 2026 (RIN 1506-AB72), a bank would establish its programme by designating an individual located in the United States and accessible to FinCEN. That is a proposal. It has not been finalised, and nothing in it applies yet.
Three questions, in the order a regulator asks them.
Who must comply, and why the answer is wider than «banks».
The five pillars, and what each one is expected to produce.
The designation, and the duties the regulation itemises.
The regulation asks the business to designate a person to assure day-to-day compliance. A programme without that designation is missing the element the rule actually names.
FinCEN’s proposed rule of 10 April 2026 would add a United States location requirement for the designated individual. It is a proposal: it has not been finalised.
Red flags exist so that a suspicious activity report can be considered. Detection without the reporting decision is half a programme.
A named person, responsible for day-to-day compliance, with the duties the regulation itemises. This is the pillar the others hang from, and the one a regulator can verify in a sentence.
Written procedures, ongoing training across the organisation, and independent testing of whether any of it works. Three of the five pillars, and the ones that generate evidence.
Knowing who you are dealing with, which is where this section meets the neighbouring one. The threshold and the depth depend on who is asking and under which rule.
The scope of the obligation, and why it reaches well beyond banks.
The practical version of the same question, answered by activity rather than by label.
Where the framework comes from, and who it captured on the way.
What has to exist, and what each element is expected to produce.
Placement, layering and integration — and why the stage decides the signal.
The signals themselves, grouped by where they show up.
When to file, and the decision that precedes filing.
The international standards behind the domestic rules.
31 CFR 1022.210(a)(2)(iii) asks a money services business to designate a person for day-to-day compliance.
Designation, policies, training, independent testing and customer due diligence.
Placement, layering and integration. The stage a transaction sits in shapes which signals appear.
Registration with FinCEN is made on Form 107, signed by the owner or controlling person.
An AML programme is judged on what it can show: who was verified, when, and against what. Compliance Officers runs the federal record checks and prepares the identity documentation those verifications rest on.
