New AML/CFT Cost Survey for Banks
If you run an FDIC‑supervised insured depository institution (a bank) or a credit union, the FDIC proposes a new survey asking you to report direct costs of anti‑money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance and the portion of overlapping costs attributable to AML/CFT. The FDIC plans to request a new OMB control number and to offer the survey as a common form that other federal banking agencies and the National Credit Union Administration may use to survey the entire banking and credit union industry.
