SIA Submits Comments to the FinCEN on the Conditional Exception Expiration
Published on:
April 21, 2003
The Securities Industry Association (SIA)* provides comments to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) on the expiration dateof the conditionalexception (CIF Exception) to certain requirements of regulations promulgated under the Bank Secrecy Act (the “Travel Rule”). Allowing the CIF Exception to expire would impose requirements on financial institutions that would serve little purpose, require substantial time to implement, and deflect resources away from other, more productive efforts. SIA suggests that FinCEN make the CIF Exception permanent.
