Correspondent Accounts (Domestic) — Overview<br />

The level of risk varies depending on the services provided and the types of transactions<br />

conducted through the account and the respondent bank’s <strong>BSA</strong>/<strong>AML</strong> compliance<br />

program, products, services, customers, entities, and geographic locations. Each bank<br />

should appropriately monitor transactions of domestic correspondent accounts relative to<br />

the level of assessed risk. In addition, domestic banks are independently responsible for<br />

OFAC compliance for any transactions that flow through their banks. Appropriate<br />

filtering should be in place. Refer to core overview section and examination procedures,<br />

“Office of Foreign Assets Control.” pages 137 and 146, respectively.<br />
