POLITICAS DEL ACTA DE SIGILO BANCARIO Pautas Generales Intermex ha desarrollado un programa escrito para asegurar el cumplimiento con la ley del Acta de Sigilo Bancario, Titulo III, incluyendo el Acta Patriota del 2001y las enmiendas a sus regulaciones y leyes Federales. Estas leyes aseguran penalidades severas a personas que participan en una violación de la 31 Parte 103 CFR, que cubre Transacciones Monetarias. Este Programa en particular se aplica a todas Agencias de Intermex y/o Representantes. Objetivo La Junta Directiva de Intermex reconoce la necesidad de la regulación de transacciones monetarias grandes y los requisitos de guardar otros registros, y ha adoptado la siguiente política:

Política Es la política de Intermex cumplir con las exigencias del Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA), el Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos del 2001, todas las regulaciones del Departamento de la Tesorería y el Servicio de Ingresos Internos (IRS). Por lo tanto, Intermex ha establecido un sistema de controles internos para asegurar el reporte oportuno y apropiado de todas las transacciones monetarias superiores a $10,000 dólares durante cualquier día dado, por o de parte de, cualquier individuo, y mantendrá archivos de todos los instrumentos monetarios vendidos por cantidades de $3,000 dólares a $10,000 dólares. Por otro parte, Intermex implementa más controles mediante la aplicación de requerir identificación por monto de dinero enviado a determinados países. El monto establecido es de $1,000 dólares a Colombia y $2,000 dólares a otros países. Además, estos controles exponen en detalle los procedimientos para identificar transacciones monetarias múltiples hechas por o en nombre de cualquier persona durante cualquier día dado, que, cuando se suman exceden los montos requeridos para reportar, así como actividades sospechosas que requerirían la presentación de un Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa (SAR-MSB) al gobierno. El Departamento de la Tesorería ha determinado que estos archivos y reportes son muy importantes para investigaciones criminales, cobro de impuestos y asuntos regulatorios.

Intermex ha puesto en práctica filtros (OFAC), de la Oficina del sistema de Control de Activos Extranjeros a fin de descubrir casos del lavado de dinero por individuos y entidades designadas como riesgosos y peligrosos por OFAC. Además, Intermex ha puesto en práctica filtros internos basados en características de transacciones e individuos para establecer una política de seguimiento apropiado, específico y debidamente enforzado en sus procedimientos para descubrir y proteger a la corporación contra el lavado de activos. Control Regulador Como parte de su compromiso de asegurar el cumplimiento, Intermex ha designado al Sr. José A. Pérez como Jefe Oficial de Cumplimiento del Acta de Sigilo Bancario y Programas de Anti-lavado. El Oficial es responsable de la coordinación y el monitoreo de la conformidad cotidiana con el Acta de Sigilo Bancario y otras regulaciones pertinentes. El Oficial también se asegurará que todos los empleados de Intermex y agentes sean entrenados bajo las exigencias del Acta de Sigilo Bancario, así como las enmiendas recientes proscritas por el Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos del 2001 y todas otras regulaciones aplicables. Penalidades Hay penas criminales y civiles sustanciales, incluso multas y encarcelamiento; esto debido al fallo de cumplir con el Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA), Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos de 2001 y por violación del los estatutos criminales del lavado de dinero.

POLITICA DEL ACTA DE SIGILO BANCARIO

Descripción de Cumplimiento del BSA y el Acta Patriota de Estados Unidos

El Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA) esta respaldada por el Ministerio de Hacienda de Los Estados Unidos y es la pieza central reguladora del esfuerzo en contra del lavado de dinero de los Estados Unidos. Esta es una ley separada y distinta a las leyes de lavado de dinero encontradas en el código penal de los Estados Unidos en el Título 18 del Código Federal. La provisión del BSA cubre cada tipo de institución financiera, incluso transmisores de dinero. Además, el Ministerio de Hacienda tiene la autoridad para designar como “una institución financiera” cualquier negocio “cuyas transacciones en efectivo tienen un grado alto de la utilidad en criminalidad, impuestos, o asuntos reguladores.” El BSA le da al Ministerio de Hacienda un amplio mandato para publicar regulaciones y poner en práctica sus provisiones. Conforme a las enmiendas añadidas por el Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos de 2001, el objetivo del BSA ha sido implementado para incluir “en la conducta de inteligencia o actividades de contraespionaje, incluso análisis, para proteger contra el terrorismo internacional.” (Título 31, Segundo de USC. 5311 y 5312 (a) (2). Para el 23 de julio de 2002, las instituciones financieras deben aplicar “apropiadamente, específicamente y donde debida diligenciarealzada sea necesaria” para todas las cuentas privadas de corresponsales internacionales. Este será requerido para cuentas bancarias correspondientes (comúnmente bancos que no conducen negocios con el dinero de aquella jurisdicción donde ellos son licenciados y existen). La diligencia debida también se aplica a bancos de jurisdicciones específicas “que no cooperan en el esfuerzo internacional para combatir el lavado de dinero. ’ Lo siguiente es un resumen general de obligaciones de conformidad adicionales para el dinero que transmite el negocio como mandato del Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos de 2001; 1- Respuesta dentro de 120 horas a peticiones de un regulador bancario para archivos acerca del cumplimiento contra el lavado de dinero o transacciones de cliente El Departamento de Cumplimiento de Transferencia de giros de Intermex, está listo para cumplir con cualquier petición de autoridades regulación apropiadas de los bancos. 2- El Ministerio de Hacienda ha publicado regulaciones de actividad sospechosas para la Industria de Valores y requiere que Transmisores de Dinero reporten a través de un SAR-MSB actividades sospechosas. El Departamento de Cumplimiento Intermex actualmente investiga toda transacción por actividad sospechosa. El Departamento de Cumplimiento supervisa la actividad del giro con instrumentos de sistemas de filtros de la Oficina del Control de Activo Extranjero (OFAC), y filtros de giros Internos, e investigación específica de actividad del giro. En la eventualidad que una actividad sospechosa es descubierta, el oficial de cumplimiento cumplirá y seguirá todos los reportes exigidos por el gobierno federal.

3- El Secretario de la Tesorería ha puesto “procedimientos razonables” para la identificación de cliente en el inicio de transacciones. Los Procedimientos Razonables incluyen el mantenimiento de archivos usados para identificar al cliente y consultar un listado asignado por el gobierno de terroristas conocidos o sospechosos. Como ya mencionado, Intermex requiere la prueba de identificación e información biográfica con el fin de procesar una transacción. Los archivos de transacciones altas son documentados y archivados según regulaciones federales y estatales. Además, Intermex consulta la Oficina del Control de Activo Extranjero (OFAC), “LISTA de OFAC” para prevenir que nuestros servicios no sean utilizados por terroristas sospechosos. 4 - Se requiere que instituciones financieras se adhieran a las nuevas regulaciones diseñadas para alinear las relaciones entre la industria de servicios financiera. Las regulaciones forzarán a las instituciones financieras, entidades reguladoras y representantes de la ley a facilitar y compartir información de individuos o entidades.

Intermex estará listo para poner en práctica cualquier nueva regulación para facilitar el intercambio de información para luchar contra el problema global del lavado de dinero. 5- Las instituciones financieras deben poner en práctica o crear nuevos procedimientos de cumplimiento prácticos y corrientes; un proceso de formación educativo bien aconsejado con programas de conformidad comprensibles y poderosos para todos los empleados es encomendado ahora según la ley. Intermex tiene un Oficial de BSA y Regulador de Cumplimiento que actualizará el programa BSA y los procedimientos del Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos del 2001 de una forma regular para codificar nuevas enmiendas. Este manual ayudará a Intermex a permanecer conforme al Acto de Lavado de Dinero y otras regulaciones federales y estatales que están relacionadas con transmisores de dinero y vendedores de instrumentos monetarios. Además, el Oficial de Cumplimiento investigará y hará seguimiento a todas las cuestiones reguladoras y leyes a fin de proteger Intermex de ser usado por cualquier actividad ilegal. El Oficial de Cumplimiento mantendrá y requerirá la información de todo el personal de la compañía y los agentes de Intermex. En caso del incumplimiento por una institución financiera, § 363 del Acta Patriota permite que el Secretario de la Tesorería imponga a cualquier institución financiera que viola ciertas secciones enumeradas una pena monetaria de hasta dos veces la cantidad de la transacción, no mayor de un millón de dólares. Esta pena civil es complementada por una pena criminal codificada como 31 USC § 5322 (d) que permite al gobierno imponer una multa de hasta dos veces la cantidad de la transacción por violaciones criminales del acto. 6- Las instituciones financieras deben proveer entrenamientos y/o educación a su personal y agentes autorizados. Intermex impartirá periódicos entrenamientos a sus empleados y agentes autorizados para asegurar que la compañía este en cumplimiento con la regulación federal y estatal con el propósito de prevenir el lavado de dinero y financiamiento terrorista. 7- Las instituciones financieras deben implementar una revisión independiente para monitorear y mantener un adecuado programa contra el lavado de dinero. Intermex ha implementado un proceso de revisión independiente, como requerido por el Acta Patriota de los Estados Unidos Titulo 31 CFR 103.125. Esta revisión esta diseñada para evaluar y determinar que la política, procedimientos y controles internos de Intermex son efectivos y aseguran el cumplimiento con la ley y las regulaciones. La frecuencia de la revisión será una vez por año.

OFICINA DE CONTROL DE ACTIVO EXTRANJERO (OFAC) POLITICA Y PROCEDIMIENTOS

La Oficina del Control de Activos Extranjeros (OFAC) del Departamento del Tesoro administra y aplica sanciones económicas basadas en la política exterior de los Estados Unidos y de seguridad nacional que atacan ciertos gobiernos, grupos terroristas, narcotraficantes internacionales y todos aquellos que estén tras el desarrollo de armas de destrucción en masa.

Intermex ha implementado un sistema de filtros OFAC que protege a la empresa de los individuos que son específicamente designados como personas o entidades bloqueadas que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos considera peligroso y ha decidió sancionar. Todas las transacciones de envío pasan a través del filtro, ya sea al entrar o salir de los Estados Unidos. El sistema de OFAC inmediatamente detecta una similitud y transfiere la transacción a un archivo especial que es revisado por el Departamento de Cumplimiento. Por consiguiente, el Departamento de Cumplimiento utiliza un sistema de rastreo OFAC independiente donde la posible similitud es examinada contra la información detallada, incluyendo homónimos que se mantienen en la base de datos del gobierno. Si la similitud resulta negativa, la transacción será procesada inmediatamente, y el envío llegara a su destino. Si el sistema detectara una persona bloqueada, Intermex deberá bloquear la transacción y seguir los reglamentos y regulaciones estipuladas por la Oficina del Control de Activos Extranjeros. Tres de los más importantes son como sigue: 1) Cualquier transacción que ha sido bloqueada o rechazada debe ser reportada a OFAC dentro de diez días laborales; 2) Un informe anual de toda propiedad bloqueada al 30 de junio deben enviarse antes del 30 de septiembre de cada año; 3) OFAC requiere la retención de todos los informes y archivos de transacción bloqueados o rechazados durante cinco años. Intermex monitorea cambios en la lista de ciudadanos, especialmente designados o personas bloqueadas por la Oficina del Control de Activo Extranjero. El sistema de Intermex automáticamente recupera, cada día, la última versión de la lista de OFAC de la página de internet del Departamento del Tesoro de los Estado Unidos. Esta por su parte es usada para actualizar nuestra lista y filtro interno. Diarias actualizaciones se realizan a las 5 A.M., y consisten en actualizar cualquier nuevo desarrollo de política en cuanto a OFAC así como cambios a la lista maestra de ciudadanos especialmente designados y personas bloqueadas. Además de filtrar todas las transacciones de dinero, nombres de individuos que compran money orders que suman $3,000 o más son filtrados contra la lista de OFAC por posibles similitudes. Intermex también ha implementado una política y procedimientos para filtrar a través de la lista de OFAC al nuevo personal de Intermex antes de ser empleados. Asimismo, nombres de prospectos agentes autorizados y directores, y/o dueños de corresponsales extranjeros son filtrados antes de firmar acuerdos contractuales con Intermex. Estos procedimientos son repetidos periódicamente para actualizar registros internos y descartar posibles similitudes contra la lista de OFAC.

POLITICA DE CONOZCA A SU CLIENTE

VERIFICACION DE LA IDENTIDAD DEL CLIENTE La Política “de Conocer a Su Cliente” como promulgado en 31CFR103, es la política declarada de Intermex, juntos con los estándares correspondientes y los procedimientos para poner en práctica dicha Política. Clientes Intermex es conciente que la aplicación de la política de "Conocer a Su Cliente” es uno de los medios más eficaces de prevenir la exposición a clientes potenciales que tienen la intención de usar nuestros servicios financieros para objetivos ilícitos. Los objetivos específicos de esta Política son:

• Reforzar nuestro Programa de Cumplimiento y maximizar nuestros esfuerzos para asegurar el

cumplimiento con ambas leyes e intentar aplicar todas las leyes de los Estados Unidos y del estado de la Florida, y con todas reglamentaciones promulgadas acerca de esto

• Asegurar la legítima adherencia y reconocimiento de las leyes financieras. • Proteger el buen nombre y la reputación de nuestra institución financiera.

• Demostrar nuestra buena voluntad y nuestro alto nivel de competencia de servicio al cliente.

Es la Política de Intermex usar “esfuerzos razonables” para averiguar la identidad verdadera de clientes individuales y/o el objetivo comercial indicado de cada empresa comercial que solicita hacer transacciones comerciales con Intermex. Intermex se compromete a este principio con una serie de procedimientos establecidos para este fin.

Procedimientos para Abrir una Agencia Intermex conduce la investigación debidamente diligenciada en agencias potenciales antes de su aprobación de conducir el negocio como un agente de Intermex. La investigación consiste en adquisición y verificación de la documentación legal, comercial, y personal de los dueños principales de la entidad comercial. El fracaso del agente potencial para proporcionar cualquiera de la información solicitada o el descubrimiento del crédito negativo marca suficiente información para negar la Aplicación de la Agencia. El agente potencial debe proporcionar la siguiente información: 1. Someter un Certificado de Incorporación u otra autorización aplicable para conducir un negocio bajo el

nombre comercial

2. Someter una lista de propietarios del negocio y proporcionar un comprobante de propiedad de entidad o negocio. En el caso de que sea un solo propietario, será requerido comprobante de propiedad de la entidad o negocio u otra documentación aplicable.

3. Someter documentación del arriendo del local, donde el agente conducirá el negocio. En caso que el ser

dueño de la propiedad comercial, un documento de la propiedad será solicitado.

Sobre el descubrimiento de cualquiera de las violaciones ya mencionadas, Intermex expedirá una carta de terminación al agente documentando los motivos de la terminación. Esta carta también servirá como aviso al agente para hacerles saber que ya no estarán autorizados a proporcionar servicios de Intermex o usar cualquier material de Intermex para solicitar negocio.

SEÑALES DE ALERTA

Intermex ha preparado esta guía de posible lavado de dinero como un instrumento para Agentes y/o Representantes para identificar transacciones y/o individuos que pueden parecer sospechosos.

Cualquier transacción que parece ser sospechosa NO debe ser completada y debe ser inmediatamente transferida al Oficial de Cumplimiento de Intermex, por teléfono y confirmada por fax o correo. Además, si la transacción o la actividad parece representar estructuración con el propósito de evadir el reporte de Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA) o registro que guarda información, y como detallado en Intermex’ “Informes de Transacción Monetarios – Programa de Cumplimiento”, hay una causa de creer que esto es un posible lavado de dinero u otra actividad criminal o extraña, la transacción debe ser reportada como una Transacción Sospechosa a la agencia del gobierno apropiada. Por favor refiérase al Programa de Cumplimiento de Intermex para archivar la información. Si un SAR es archivado, una copia debe ser enviada al Oficial de Cumplimiento de Intermex.

1. Las Señales de Alerta en cuanto a la información proveída:

El ID proporcionado al Agente parece ser falso La foto en el ID no concuerda con la apariencia del cliente. El nombre en el ID no concuerda con el nombre del cliente en la aplicación El empleo (ocupación) no es verificable. El teléfono de casa esta desconectado o la persona no es conocida en el número dado. El cliente no quiere proporcionar la información requerida. El cliente intenta reducir la cantidad de la transacción cuando la documentación adicional o

específica o la información es solicitada El cliente, cuando cuestionado, no puede o no proporciona el origen de los fondos

2. Señales de Alerta en cuanto a cantidades y frecuencia de órdenes:

El cliente con frecuencia envía sumas grandes de dinero al extranjero El cliente esta “De Paso” y quiere enviar sumas grandes de dinero al extranjero El cliente intenta enviar una cantidad de dinero excepcionalmente grande a una ciudad o

estado que es muy diferente de su residencia, con ninguna razón convincente. El cliente paga por una transacción alta de dinero con muchos billetes de baja

denominación 3. Señales de Alerta en cuanto a posible estructuración:

Órdenes múltiples con el mismo remitente o el beneficiario, o ponen el mismo número de teléfono y dirección para un beneficiario, o acumulan $3,000 dólares durante el mismo día, o son pedidas por personas diferentes que han llegado juntos, a diferente personas, con una combinación similar de identidades, dirigidas a sitios diferentes en la misma área, por cantidades similares, o una combinación de varias condiciones ya mencionadas.

Transacciones múltiples realizadas al mismo área a diferentes beneficiarios por diferentes remitentes pero que todo caen dentro de un patrón o práctica en una base continua (diariamente, semanalmente, mensualmente, etc.) por cantidades de dinero similares por debajo de 2,000 dólares que Intermex tiene asignado.

El cliente hace muchas preguntas sobre el reporte CTR y otras exigencias de Anti-lavado de dinero con la aparente intención de evadirlos.

El cliente trata de conducir transacciones bajo dos o más nombres

Estos ejemplos de posible actividad criminal deben ser accesibles y explicados a fondo a todos los empleados de los Agentes

REPORTES DE TRANSACCIONES MONETARIAS Reporte de Transacción Monetaria en efectivo CTR FinCen forma 104 El Departamento de Tesorería requiere que Intermex, y/o sus Agencias y Representantes archiven un informe por cada transacción que implique una cantidad de dinero de más de 10,000 dólares. Esta forma es usada para reportar transacciones monetarias en efectivo: CTR FinCen Forma 104

• Propósito de CTR

El objetivo principal de reportar transacciones monetarias es para proporcionar a las agencias de la ley un modo de rastrear y prevenir de aquellos envueltos en actividades financieras ilegales de usar Intermex para lavar dinero en efectivo obtenido ilegalmente de la venta de drogas, mercancía robada, juego de azar, etc. Este no implica que las transacciones en efectivo de más de $10,000 dólares sean ilegales; la mayor parte de transacciones más de 10,000 dólares en dinero efectivo son hechas por motivos legítimos. El hecho que se requiere un CTR no refleja la legalidad de la transacción o el carácter del individuo que inicia la transacción.

• Usos de un CTR

El CTR tiene un grado alto de utilidad en investigaciones reguladoras en criminalidad e impuesto. La información de CTRs es usada en investigaciones de procedimientos criminales y financieros.

• Cuando se requiere un CTR Se requiere que Intermex reporte todas las transacciones monetarias que implican más de $10,000 dólares por o para cualquier persona en un mismo día. Transacciones monetarias múltiples en la misma jornada laboral deben ser tratadas como una sola transacción; si la institución tiene el conocimiento que ellos son por y/o para la misma persona. Para reportar, debe haber una transferencia física de dinero en efectivo de una persona a otra.

Una transacción, sea una transferencia de fondos por medio de cheque, letra bancaria, u otra orden escrita, y no incluye la transferencia física del dinero, no es una transacción reportable. • Ejemplo de transacciones monetarias

Los siguientes son ejemplos para la preparación y archivo de un CTR: 1. Un cliente remite o recibe más de $10,000 dólares en dinero efectivo de una o varias fuentes en un día

laboral. 2. El cliente desea cambiar más de $10,000 dólares en efectivo por billetes de menor o mayor cantidad 3. El cliente realiza varias transacciones en efectivo que dan un total de $10,000 en un mismo día laboral

Rev 030510

• Transacciones reportables

Las transacciones reportadas incluyen, pero no son limitadas a: Transferencia de giros Venta de Giros postales

• Transacciones Monetarias Múltiples Intermex tratará transacciones monetarias múltiples como una sola transacción; si Intermex tiene el conocimiento de que son por o de parte de una persona y exceden $10,000 dólares en cualquier día laboral. Siempre y cuando un empleado tenga el conocimiento de transacciones múltiples por o para una persona, esta información constituirá conocimiento en representación de Intermex. Esfuerzos razonables deberían ser hechos para identificar todas agregaciones de transacción múltiples que exceden $10,000 dólares, y es, por lo tanto, transacción reportables. • Instrumentos monetarios Como requerido por el Acta de Secreto Bancario (BSA), Intermex mantendrá por un periodo de cinco (5) años un Registro de Instrumentos Monetarios por la venta de instrumentos monetarios como giros postales y cheques viajeros que implican dinero en cantidades de 3,000 dólares a 10,000 dólares inclusive. Por esta razón, la forma de Intermex “High Transaction Form/Money Order Log” será llenada y presentada en una manera oportuna con la siguiente información. 1. Nombre y dirección del comprador. 2. Número de seguro social del comprador. Si el comprador es un extranjero y no tiene un número de seguro

social, obtener el número de identificación de extranjería Alíen No.), un número de pasaporte, o el número de permiso de conducir.

3. Fecha de nacimiento del comprador. 4. Si el individuo compra los instrumentos de parte de otra persona o entidad, el nombre, dirección, seguridad

social, o número de identificación de contribuyente, debe ser obtenido y registrado. 5. Fecha de compra. 6. Oficina/Agencia donde fue comprado. 7. Números de serie de todos los instrumentos comprados. 8. Cantidad en dólar de cada instrumento comprado. 9. Método de verificar identidad y obtener documentación de identificación específica. (La fotocopia de una identificación deberá ser guardada en el archivo). Documentos de identificación aceptables son:

Licencia de Conducir o Tarjeta de Identificación de USA Permiso de Trabajo de USA Tarjeta de Residencia de USA Tarjeta Militar de USA Pasaporte Otro documento oficial con Fotografía (ya sea extranjero o doméstico)

Si la documentación no es de USA, el país de emisión debe ser escrito al lado de la identificación. La compra de los mismos tipos o diferentes instrumentos de un total $3,000 dólares o más debe ser tratado como una transacción, cuando hay conocimiento de ventas múltiples y presentar forma correspondiente. Para transacciones de mas de $10,000 en efectivo la forma CTR FinCen Forma 104 será completada.

Rev 030510

• Procedimiento para determinar el fallo de la agencia de suministrar Forma 1025 o un High Transaction Log es la siguiente:

1. Un Informe de Agente en Sospecha, que muestra bloques de instrumentos monetarios vendidos al mismo cliente dentro de una cantidad corta del tiempo debe ser preparado y dado al oficial de cumplimiento diariamente para la revisión.

2. Si el agente no ha proporcionado una forma interna Intermex 1025 o el High Transaction Log, la agencia será llamada y cuestionada en cuanto a si el mismo cliente compró los instrumentos monetarios.

3. En caso de ser el mismo cliente, las formas correspondientes son solicitadas inmediatamente. 4. En el instante que la agencia informa a Intermex que clientes diferentes compraron los giros postales,

Intermex investigará los instrumentos monetarios al final de mes después de que se haya procesado el pago. La investigación se concentrará, si la misma persona recibió los giros postales. Si se verifica que el mismo individuo presentó los giros postales a cobrar, la agencia recibirá la primera de dos advertencias escritas por parte del oficial de cumplimiento, basado en el fallo de cumplir con regulaciones federales así como citación del acuerdo de apertura de Agencia. Sobre la segunda violación, Intermex terminará la relación con el derecho concedido al acuerdo en el momento de apertura de agencia.

• Transferencias Por cada transferencia de dinero recibida por Intermex, la información requerida por las regulaciones que ponen en práctica el Acta de Sigilo Bancario, se obtendrá y archivara en la manera requerida y por un período de 5 años. Adicionalmente, para cada transferencia de dinero iniciada desde el Estado de Oklahoma por $1,000 o más, Intermex mantendrá toda la información requerida por lo menos por un periodo de 3 años así como lo estipula el Departamento de Banca del Estado de Oklahoma. Toda información será registrada en la Forma de Intermex 1025 presentada en el momento del pago de la transmisión u orden de transmisión, adjunto con una identificación válida. Una copia de identificación valida se mantendrá en los archivos junto con la siguiente información

La información siguiente debe ser obtenida: 1. Nombre y dirección del creador 2. Tipo de identificación presentada y examinada, como:

Permiso de conducir, Carné de Identidad Estatal, número de Seguridad Social, Carné de Identidad Extranjero, Número de Pasaporte y País de Emisión, Cedula, u otra identificación oficial, con fotografía

3. Cantidad de orden de pago 4. Fecha de Ejecución 5. Instrucciones de Pago recibidas con orden de pago incluyendo:

• Reporte de Actividades Sospechosas – SAR-MSB FinCen Form 109 Se requiere que Intermex archive un Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa (SAR-MSB) para transacciones que agregan $2,000 dólares o mas, que implican Lavado de dinero potencial o violaciones del Acta de Sigilo Bancario. Cualquier transacción conducida, o que intenta, o por medio de Intermex e implique una agregación de $2,000 dólares o más en fondos u otros activos, si Intermex sabe, sospecha, o tiene razón de sospechar que:

1 La transacción implica fondos provenientes de actividades ilegales, o tratan de esconder o disfrazar

fondos o activos sacados de actividades ilegales (incluyendo sin limitación, la propiedad, naturaleza, fuente, posición, o control de tales fondos o activos) como parte de un plan de violar o evadir cualquier ley o regulación o evitar el reporte de la transacción conforme a la ley Federal.

2. La transacción es diseñada para evadir cualquier regulación promulgada conforme al Acto de Sigilo

Bancario. 3. La transacción no tiene ningún negocio u objetivo legal aparente, o no es la clase de negocio en el

que el cliente trabaja, y la institución financiera no sabe de ninguna explicación razonable de la transacción después de examinar los comprobantes disponibles, incluso el objetivo y propósito de la transacción.

El Acta de Sigilo Bancario requiere la clasificación de un Reporte de Transacción Monetario (CTR) siempre que una transacción monetaria exceda $10,000 dólares. Si una transacción monetaria excede $10,000 dólares y es sospechosa, ambos un CTR y un SAR (Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa) debe ser archivado. Si la transacción sospechosa iguala o es menor de $10,000 dólares, sólo un SAR debería ser archivado. • Ejemplos de Transacciones Sospechosas

Lo siguiente son varios ejemplos de transacciones sospechosas: 1. Un cliente reduce una transacción en efectivo de $15,000 dólares a $9,000 dólares después de que

usted informa que un CTR debe ser archivado. 2. Un pequeño negocio local hace transacciones entre $9,000 dólares y $9,500 dólares en el dinero

efectivo cada día, y usted sabe que el negocio no genera esa cantidad de efectivo. Un cliente, que usted conoce o sospecha esta implicado en un negocio ilegal hace transacciones de $9,500 dólares en dinero efectivo varias veces por semana.

3. Dos o más individuos, que están obviamente juntos, conducen transacciones en efectivo por menos

de 10,000 dólares, cada uno. 4. Un cliente cambia pequeñas cuentas de denominación ($5, $10s, $20s) para cuentas de

denominación grandes ($50s, los años $100). 5. Un negocio que no es normalmente intensivo en efectivo de repente aumenta las transacciones en

efectivo 6. Un cliente inicia un número grande de giros que no son consecuentes con el uso ordinario de su

dinero Éstos son sólo unos ejemplos de transacciones sospechosas. Cualquier transacción en efectivo de $2,000 dólares o mas que parezca sospechosa debe ser reportada con un SAR Fincen Form 109(Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa) a la dirección postal siguiente, o como realizado por Intermex via electrónica a http://bsaefiling.FinCEN.treas.gov/main.html

Enterprise Computing Center Detroit– Attn: SAR-MSB P.O. Box 33117, Detroit, MI 48232-5980 • Estructuración y Lavado de Dinero Es un delito Federal estructurar transacciones. La “estructuración” en nombre de otras personas, conduce o intenta conducir una o mas, es considerada de cuando una persona actuando sola, o en conjunto con, o con transacciones en efectivo, en cualquier cantidad, en una o varias Agencias o en diferentes instituciones financieras, durante uno o varios días, en cualquier manera para la evasión del reporte de BSA o requerimiento de registro. Es también un delito el asistir a un cliente en la estructuración de una transacción. Si el Agente sospecha que un cliente estructura transacciones, pero se hace no notar la actividad y no hace preguntas sobre la proveniencia del dinero, el Agente puede ser encontrado culpable de la estructuración. Ejemplos:

Juan Gracia lleva $2,000 dólares en efectivo y pide enviar el dinero a Carmen Vera en Colombia. Al día siguiente Sr. Gracia lleva $2,000 dólares en efectivo y pide enviar el dinero a Jorge Vera en Colombia. Juan Gracia puede intentar evadir el Registro de Transferencia Monetaria de BSA de registros que se conservan. Si el Agente determina que Sr. Gracia estructura transacciones, él o ella no debe completar la transacción. Además, el Agente debe seguir los procedimientos para manejar transacciones sospechosas.

El Agente ve que Donna Green y Sue Smith entran en la Agencia juntos y hablando el uno con el

otro. Cada uno entrega menos de 10,000 dólares en dinero efectivo y piden enviar el dinero a Canadá. Las órdenes solicitadas de Sra. Green y Sra. Smith van a Andrew White con un total de más de $10,000 dólares. Donna Green y Sue Smith pueden intentar evadir los reportes de exigencia del CTR. Si el Agente determina que la Sra. Green y la Sra. Smith estructuran transacciones, él o ella no deben completar las transacciones. Además, el Agente debe seguir los procedimientos para manejar transacciones sospechosas.

• Estatutos de Lavado de Dinero Es también un delito Federal para cualquier persona comprometida a sabiendas en cualquier transacción comercial o financiera o transporte internacional o transmisión de fondos con los beneficios de tráfico de drogas u otra actividad criminal. El conocimiento puede ser probado demostrando que la persona fue “ciego voluntariamente” “o deliberadamente indiferente” a la fuente o el origen de los fondos.

Ejemplos:

Jack King lleva $49,500 dólares en efectivo y pide enviarlos a su madre en Europa. Él comenta que él ha obtenido el dinero vendiendo drogas y quiere compartirlo con su madre. El Agente tiene el conocimiento que los fondos usados para la transferencia son beneficios del tráfico de drogas. Como el Agente sabe que los fondos son de fondos criminales, él o ella NO deben completar la transacción. Además, si el Agente completa la transacción que él o ella saben o sospecha que pueden implicar los beneficios de tráfico de drogas u otra actividad criminal, él o ella pueden ser culpables de Lavado de dinero.

Mark Lee está desempleado. Él pide enviar $15,000 dólares a su padre en Asia. Como esta es una

transacción sospechosa, el Agente debe preguntar al Sr. Lee sobre la fuente de los fondos. Sólo si el Agente está totalmente satisfecho de que los fondos sean legítimos, puede él o ella completan la transacción. Si el Agente no hace las preguntas sobre la fuente de los fondos a fin de establecer que los fondos no son beneficios de la actividad criminal, y los fondos son los beneficios de tráfico de drogas u otra actividad criminal, puede pensarse que el Agente es voluntariosamente ciego a la fuente de los fondos. Si el Agente completa la transacción, él o ella pueden ser culpables del lavado de dinero.

• Procedimientos para Manejar Transacciones Sospechosas

Después de darse cuenta de una transacción o actividad sospechosa, el Agente debe investigar la situación. 1. Si la transacción o la actividad parece representar estructuración para evadir el reporte de BSA o el registro que guarda exigencias, u otra actividad criminal o extraña y no hay ninguna explicación razonable, la transacción NO debe ser completada. Además, el Agente debe archivar un informe de SAR de acuerdo con las exigencias del BSA y políticas y procedimientos de Intermex, y debe enviar una copia del SAR a Intermex, por fax. 2. Si la transacción o la actividad reportada en un SAR, parece ser parte de un esquema en curso, el Agente debería considerar notificar, por teléfono al IRS (llamando a la oficina de División de Investigación IRS/Criminal local o el número de Línea directa IRS, 1-800-CTRS), y debería notificar el Departamento de Cumplimiento de Intermex. 3. Una transacción que es reportada en un SAR también puede requerir el reporte en un CTR, si esto implica más de $10,000 dólares en efectivo en una jornada laboral. 4. El Agente no DEBE NOTIFICAR a ninguna persona que esta ha sido reportada en un SAR. La Política de Acta de Secreto Bancaria, el Programa de Cumplimiento de BSA y los Procedimientos para la finalización oportuna del Reporte de Transacción Monetario (CTR), Reporte de Actividad Sospechoso (SAR-MSB), el Reporte de Instrumento Monetario, Reporte de Transferencia de Giros y Lista de Retención de Registro, realiza el compromiso de Intermex de participar activamente en la eliminación de lavado de dinero y otros delitos financieros, como requerido según la ley y regulación. EL NO CUMPLIR CON LOS PASOS YA MENCIONADOS POR PARTE DE ALGUN EMPLEADO DE INTERMEX, AGENCIAS O REPRESENTANTES PODRÍA SER CAUSA PARA EL DESPIDO INMEDIATO DEL EMPLEADO, O TERMINACIÓN DEL ACUERDO DE CON LA AGENCIA

BANK SECRECY ACT POLICY

General Guidelines Intermex has developed a written Anti-Money Laundering program to ensure compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, Title III, including all the USA Patriot Act of 2001 amendments to its regulations. Federal laws provides for severe penalties for persons participating in a violation of 31 CFR Part 103, which covers currency transactions. This Program particularly applies to all of Intermex Agencies and/or Representatives. Purpose The Board of Directors of Intermex understands the necessity for the regulation of large currency transactions and other record keeping requirements, and has adopted the following policy:

Policy It is the policy of Intermex to comply with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), USA Patriot Act of 2001, all regulations of the US Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. Therefore, Intermex has established a system of internal controls to ensure the timely and proper reporting of all currency transactions in excess of $10,000 on any given day, by or on behalf of any one individual, and will maintain records on all monetary instruments sold for currency in the amounts of $3,000 to $10,000. Furthermore, Intermex implements further controls by applying identification requirements thresholds to certain countries. A lower threshold of $1,000 has been established for money transfers to Colombia and of $2,000 to all other countries. Additionally, these controls detail procedures to identify multiple currency transactions made by or on behalf of any one person on any given day, which, when aggregated, exceed the reporting limits, as well as the detection of suspicious activities that would require the filing of a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). The US Department of the Treasury has determined that these records and reports are highly useful in the investigation of criminal, tax and regulatory irregularities Intermex has implemented an (OFAC), Office of Foreign Asset Control system in order to detect instances of money laundering through designated individuals and entities designated as dangerous risks by OFAC. In addition, Intermex has implemented internal filters based on transactions patterns and individual characteristics to establish an appropriate, specific and enhanced due diligence policy and procedure to detect and protect against money laundering in the corporation. Regulatory Control As part of its commitment to ensure compliance, Intermex has appointed Mr. Jose A. Perez as Bank Secrecy Act and Regulatory Compliance Officer. He is responsible for the coordination and monitoring of day-to-day compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and other pertinent regulations. This Officer shall also ensure that all of Intermex employees and agents are trained on the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, as well as the recent amendments proscribed by the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and all other applicable regulations. Penalties

There are substantial criminal and civil penalties, including fines and imprisonment. This due to failure to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), USA Patriot Act of 2001 and for violating criminal money laundering statutes.

BANK SECRECY ACT POLICY

BSA & United States Patriot Act Compliance Overview

The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) is enforced by the United States Department of the Treasury and is the regulatory centerpiece of the entire U.S. Money laundering effort. It is a separate and distinct law from the money laundering laws found in the criminal code of the United States in Title 18 of the U.S. Code. The BSA’s provision covers every type of financial institution, including money transmitters. Moreover, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has the authority to designate as a “financial institution” any business “whose cash transactions have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory matters.” The BSA gives the U.S. Department of the Treasury an extremely broad mandate to issue regulations to implement its provisions. Under the amendments added by the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the purpose of the BSA is expanded to include “in the conduct of intelligence or counterintelligence activities, including analysis, to protect against international terrorism.” (Title 31, USC Sec. 5311 & 5312 (a)(2). By July 23, 2002, financial institutions must apply “appropriate, specific and where necessary enhanced due diligence” for all foreign private international correspondent accounts. This will be required for correspondent bank accounts with offshore banks (commonly banks that do not conduct business with the currency of that jurisdiction where they are licensed and exist). The special due diligence also applies to banks from jurisdictions deemed “non cooperative in the international effort to combat money laundering.’ The following is a general summary of further compliance obligations for money transmitting business as mandated by the USA Patriot Act of 2001; 1- Response within 120 hours to requests of a banking regulator for records relating to anti-money laundering compliance or customer transactions The Compliance Department of Intermex Wire Transfer, LLC. is prepared to comply with any requests of an appropriate banking regulating authority. 2- The U.S. Department of the Treasury has issued SAR regulations for the Securities Industry and requires Money Transmitters to report suspicious activity. The Intermex Compliance Department currently researches all transaction for suspicious activity. The Compliance Department monitors wire activity with tools such as the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) filter system, Internal Wire filters, and specific wire activity research. In the event suspicious activity is uncovered, the compliance officer will comply and follow all federal suspicious activity reporting requirements. 3- The U.S. Department of the Treasury has set “reasonable procedures” for customer identification at onset of transactions. Reasonable Procedures include maintaining records used to identify the customer and consulting a government provided list of known or suspected terrorists. As aforementioned, Intermex requires proof of identification and biographical information in order to process wires. Records of high transactions are documented and filed according to federal and state regulations. In addition, Intermex consults the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), “OFAC LIST” to prevent any suspected global terrorists from using our services.

Rev. 030510

4- Financial institutions are required to adhere to the new adopted regulations designed to align the relationships between the financial services industry. The regulations will force financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement, to facilitate information sharing on individuals or entities. Intermex will be prepared to implement any new regulations to facilitate the sharing of information to fight the global problem of money laundering.

5- Financial institutions must implement or rethink current compliance procedures and practices; a well-counseled educational training process with understandable and forceful compliance programs for all employees is now mandated by law.

Intermex has a BSA and Regulatory Compliance Officer who will update the BSA and USA Patriot Act of 2001 procedures manual on a regular basis as amendments are codified. This manual will aid Intermex to remain in compliance with the Money Laundering Act and other federal and state regulations that relate to money transmitters and vendors of monetary instruments. In addition, the Compliance Officer will investigate, research, and follow up on all regulatory issues and laws in order to protect Intermex from being used for illegal activity. The Compliance Officer will maintain and require training of all company personnel and agents of Intermex Wire Transfer, LLC.

In the case of non-compliance by a financial institution, § 363 of the Patriot Act allows the U.S. Department of the Treasury to impose on any financial institution that violates certain enumerated sections a monetary penalty of up to two times the amount of the transaction, not to exceed a million dollars. This civil penalty is complemented by a criminal penalty to be codified as 31 USC § 5322(d) which permits the government to impose a fine of up to two times the amount of the transaction for criminal violations of the act.

6. Financial institutions are required to provide education and/or training to appropriate personnel or authorized delegates

Intermex is committed to impart periodic trainings and education to its employees and authorized delegates to insure that the company is in compliance with all state and federal regulatory laws in order to deter money laundering and terrorist financing. 7. Financial institutions must provide for independent review to monitor and maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program.

Intermex has implemented an independent review process of the company’s Anti Money Laundering program, as required by Title 31 CFR Section 103.125 of the USA Patriot Act. This review is designed to evaluate Intermex’s policies, procedures and internal controls are adequate and effective to ensure compliance with pertinent laws and regulation. The frequency of the review shall be once per calendar year.

OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSET CONTROL (OFAC)

POLICY AND PROCEDURES

The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Intermex has implemented an OFAC filter system that safeguards against those individuals that are specially designated nationals or blocked persons that the United States government considers dangerous and decided to sanction. All money transfers flow through the filter, whether leaving or entering the United States. The OFAC system immediately detects a possible match and transfers the money transfer transaction to a special file that is reviewed by the Compliance Department. Consequently, the Compliance Department utilizes an independent OFAC tracker system, where the possible match is reviewed against detailed information of names, including homonyms in the government database. This information is compared against the information in our wire system for a match. If a false positive match is obtained, the money transfer will be immediately released for payment. If a positive match is verified, Intermex must block the transaction and follow all rules and regulations stipulated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Three of the most important are as follows: 1) Any transaction that has been blocked or rejected must be reported to OFAC within ten business days; 2) An annual report of all property blocked as of June 30 is due by September 30 of each year; 3) OFAC requires the retention of all reports and blocked or rejected transaction records for five years. .

Intermex closely monitors changes to the list of specially designated nationals or blocked persons by the Office of Foreign Asset Control. Intermex systems automatically retrieve, on a daily basis, the latest version of the OFAC list from the US Treasury internet site. This in turn is used to update our internal filter list. Daily updates at 5 A.M. est. consist of any new policy developments regarding OFAC as well as changes to the master list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons.

As well as all money transfers, name of individuals that purchase money orders for the sum of $3,000 and over are also screened through OFAC designated list for possible matches. Intermex has also implemented a policy and procedures to screen through the OFAC list new Intermex’ employees before they are hired. In addition prospect authorized agents and foreign correspondents directors and/or owners names are also screened before they sign contractual agreements with Intermex. These procedures are repeated periodically to update internal records and disregard possible matches against the OFAC list

“KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER POLICY” VERIFYING CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION

The Policy of “Know Your Customer” as promulgated in 31CFR103, is the declared policy of Intermex, together with the corresponding standards and procedures needed to implement said Policy.

Customers

Intermex believes that the implementation of a “Know Your Customer” policy is one of the most effective means of preventing exposure to potential customers who intend to use our financial services for illicit purposes. The specific objectives of this Policy are:

• Reinforce our Compliance Program and maximize our efforts to ensure compliance with both the letter and intent of all applicable laws of the United States and of the State of Florida, and with all regulations.

• Secure adherence to sound and recognized financial practices. • Protect the good name and reputation of our financial institution. • Demonstrate our good will and the high level of proficiency of our customer service.

It is the Policy of Intermex to use “reasonable efforts” to ascertain the true identity of individual customers and/or the stated business purpose of each commercial enterprise that requests to do business transactions with Intermex. Intermex commits itself to this principle through a set of procedures established for this purpose.

Procedures to Approve a New Agent

Intermex conducts due diligence research on potential agencies prior to their approval to conduct business as an Intermex agent. The research consists of acquiring and verifying legal, business, and personal documentation of the principal owners of the business entity. Failure of the potential agent to provide any of the requested information or the discovery of negative credit score information will be sufficient grounds for the denial of the Agency Application. The potential agent must provide the following information:

1. Submittal of a Certificate of Incorporation or other applicable authorization to conduct business under the commercial name.

2. Submittal of a list of business owners and their proportionate ownership of the business entity. In the case of a sole proprietor, additional state registration or other applicable documentation may be requested.

3. Submittal of a lease of the premises, where the agent will be conducting business. In the event of ownership of the commercial property, a deed of the property will be requested.

Intermex will conduct the following searches:

1. Credit History Report to determine a credit score and risk model. 2. Public Records Search for histories of civil judgments including liens and other legal items. 3. Criminal Background Search to obtain accurate criminal histories. 4. OFAC screening.

Procedures for Approved Agencies

Once the agent is approved Intermex will conduct the following procedures to ensure the proper compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, Bank Secrecy Act and other requirements that apply to the agent as a financial institution.

1. Conduct the training of the agent and its employees about Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering obligations that pertain to the agent.

2. Retrain Agents and their employees who show weakness in the application of established

compliance policy and procedures.

3. Terminate agents with demonstrated failures to follow Federal, State, or institutional compliance policy and procedures.

4. Report any instances of Suspicious Activity involving the agent to the U.S. Department of

theTreasury.

Procedures to Terminate an Agent Intermex reserves the right to terminate an agent for failure to comply with any anti-money laundering laws, institutional compliance policies and procedures, or violation of any section of the Agency Agreement. Upon the discovery of any of the aforementioned violations, Intermex will forward a termination letter to the agent documenting the reasons for the termination. The letter will also serve as notice that they are no longer authorized to provide Intermex services or use any Intermex materials to solicit business.

RED FLAGS

Intermex has prepared this guide of possible money laundering indicators as a tool for Agents and/or Representatives to identify transactions and/or individuals that may appear suspicious. Any transaction that appears to be suspicious must NOT be completed and must immediately be referred to the Intermex Compliance Officer, by telephone and confirmed by fax or mail. In addition, if the transaction or activity appears to represent structuring to evade Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) reporting or record keeping requirements, and as detailed in Intermex’ “Currency Transaction Reports – Compliance Program”, there is cause to believe that it is a possible money laundering or other criminal or unusual activity, the transaction must be reported as a Suspicious Transaction to the appropriate government agency. Please refer to Intermex Compliance Program for filing information. If a SAR is filed, a copy must be sent to the Compliance Officer at Intermex.

1. Red Flags regarding information provided:

ID provided to Agent appears to be a forgery Picture on ID does not match customer’s appearance. Name on ID does not match customer’s name on application Employment (occupation) is not verifiable Home phone is disconnected or person is not known at number given Customer does not want to provide required information Customer attempts to reduce amount of transaction when additional or specific documentation

or information is requested Customer, when questioned, cannot or will not provide source of funds

2. Red Flags regarding amounts or frequency of orders:

Customer frequently sends large sums of money overseas Customer is “In Transit” and wants to send large sums of money overseas Customer attempts to send an unusually large amount of money from a city or state that is

different from his residence, for no apparent reason Customer pays for a large dollar transaction with many small denomination bills

3. Red Flags regarding possible structuring:

Multiple orders name the same sender or beneficiary, or list the same telephone number or address

for a beneficiary, or aggregate to $3,000 on the same day, or are ordered by different people that arrive together, to different people, with a combination of similar identities, addressed to different places in the same area, for similar amounts, or a combination of several of the above conditions. Multiple transactions made to the same area to different beneficiaries by different senders but that all

fall within a pattern or practice on a continuous basis (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) for similar amounts of money under Intermex $2,000 threshold.

Customer asks many questions about CTR filing and other anti-money laundering requirements with the apparent intention of evading them. Customer tries to conduct transactions under two or more names.

These examples of possible criminal activity must be made accessible and thoroughly explained to all Agents’ employees.

FILING REPORTS CREATING AND RETAINING RECORDS

Currency Transaction Report CTR FinCen Form 104 The U.S. Department of the Treasury requires Intermex, and/or its Agencies or Representatives, (Intermex) to file a report for each transaction involving currency of more than $10,000. One form is predominantly used to report currency transactions: FinCen Form 104 • Purpose of a CTR The main purpose of reporting currency transactions is to provide law enforcement agencies a way to track or prevent those engaged in illegal financial activities from using Intermex to launder cash obtained illegally from the sale of drugs, stolen merchandise, gambling, etc. This does not imply that cash transactions over $10,000 are illegal; most transactions over $10,000 in cash are done for legitimate reasons. The fact that a CTR is required does not reflect in the legality of the transaction or on the character of the individual initiating the transaction. • Uses of a CTR

The CTR has a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, and regulatory investigations and proceedings. Information from CTRs is used in criminal and tax investigations and prosecutions. • When is a CTR Required Intermex is required to report all currency transactions that involve more than $10,000 by or for any one person on any one-business day. Multiple currency transactions on the same business day are to be treated as a single transaction if the institution has knowledge that they are by and/or for the same person. To be reportable, there must be a physical transfer of currency from one person to another. A transaction, which is a transfer of funds by means of bank check, bank draft, or other written order, and does not include the physical transfer of currency, is not a reportable transaction.

• Examples of Currency Transactions The following are examples requiring the preparation and filing of a CTR:

1. A customer remits or receives more than $10,000 in cash from one or several sources in one business day.

2. A customer wants to exchange more than $10,000 in cash for smaller or larger bills.

3. A customer makes several cash transactions that total more than $10,000 in a business day.

Rev. 030510

• Reportable Transactions

Reportable transactions include, but are not limited to:

Wire Transfers Sales of Money Orders

• Multiple Currency Transactions

Intermex shall treat multiple currency transactions as a single transaction if Intermex has knowledge

that they are by or on behalf of any one person and they exceed $10,000 on any one-business day. Whenever an employee has knowledge of multiple transactions by or for a person, this information constitutes knowledge on behalf of Intermex. Reasonable effort should be made to identify all multiple transaction aggregations that exceed $10,000, and that are, therefore, reportable transactions.

• Monetary Instruments

As required by the BSA, Intermex will maintain for the period of five (5) years a Monetary Instruments Log for the sale of monetary instruments such as money orders and travelers checks which involves currency in amounts of $3,000 to $10,000 inclusive. Intermex’s form “High Transaction Form/Money Order Log” must be submitted in a timely fashion with the following information:

1. Name and address of the purchaser. 2. Social Security number of the purchaser. If the purchaser is an alien and does not have a social security number, obtain the alien identification number, a passport number, driver’s license number or ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number) 3. Date of birth of the purchaser. 4. If the individual is purchasing the instruments on behalf of another person or entity, the name, address, social security or ITIN number, must be obtained and recorded. 5. Date of purchase. 6. Office/Agency where purchased with Agent’s signature 7. Serial numbers of all instruments purchased. 8. Dollar amount of each instrument purchased. 9. Method of verifying identity and specific identifying documentation obtained. (Photocopy of one item should be kept on file).

Acceptable identification documents are:

U.S. Valid Driver’s License or State Identification Card U.S. Employment Authorization Card U.S. Resident Alien Card U.S. Military Card Passport Other official document with Photograph (whether foreign or domestic)

If the documentation is not from the USA, country of issuance must be noted alongside.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Purchase of the same or different types of instruments totaling $3,000 or more must be treated as one transaction when there is knowledge of the multiple sales. Multiple sales must be noted as such on the log.

11

• Procedure to determine failure of agency to file High Dollar Transaction Form is as follows 1. An Agent Suspicion Report, which shows blocks of monetary instruments of $500 more 6 times in sequence or within a short amount of time is prepared and handed to the Compliance Officer daily for review. 2. If the agent has not provided a High Dollar Transaction Form, the agency will be called and questioned as to whether the same customer bought the monetary instruments. 3. In the event, it was the same customer, the appropriate forms are requested immediately. 4. In the event, the agency informs Intermex that different customers purchased the money orders, Intermex will investigate the monetary instruments at the end of the month after payment is tendered. The investigation will focus on whether the same person received the money orders. If it is verified that the same individual presented the money orders for cash, the agency will receive the first of a possible 2 written warnings from the Compliance Officer, setting forth their failure to comply with federal regulations as well as citing the original Agency agreement. Upon the second violation, Intermex will terminate the relationship with the right granted to them in the original agency agreement. • Wire Transfers For every wire transfer received by Intermex all information required by regulation implementing the Bank Secrecy Act must be obtained and retained for a period of 5 years. In addition for each wire transfer initiated by Oklahoma agents for $1,000 or more, Intermex will maintain all information required by the Oklahoma State Banking Department for a period of at least 3 years. All information must be recorded in Intermex Form 1025 submitted at the time of the payment or transmittal order, with appropriate valid identification, as needed One valid piece of identification will be kept on file along with the following information:. The following information must be obtained: • Name and address of the originator • Type of identification presented and reviewed, such as: Driver’s License, State Identification Card, Social Security number, Alien Identification Card, Passport Number and Country of Issuance, Cedula, or other official identification, with photograph • Amount of payment order • Execution date • Payment instructions received with payment order including: Name and address of beneficiary Any other information pertaining to the beneficiary as included in the payment order. All record keeping requirements as mandated by the Bank Secrecy Act for currency transactions apply to Wire Transfers. A log for cash transactions between $3,000 and $10,000 inclusive will be maintained, and a CTR will be filled out for all cash transactions of more than $10,000. Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR-MSB) will be filed in accordance with the guidelines provided hereunder.

• Suspicious Activity Report – SAR-MSB Fincen Form 109

Intermex is required to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR-MSB) for transactions aggregating

$2,000 or more that involve potential money laundering or violations of the Bank Secrecy Act. Any transaction conducted, or attempted by, at or through Intermex and involving or aggregating $2,000 or more in funds or other assets, if Intermex knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect that:

1. The transaction involves funds derived from illegal activities, or is intended or conducted in order to hide or disguise funds or assets derived from illegal activities (including without limitation, the ownership, nature, source, location, or control of such funds or assets) as part of a plan to violate or evade any law or regulation or to avoid transaction reporting requirements under Federal law.

2. The transaction is designed to evade any regulations promulgated under the Bank Secrecy Act.

3. The transaction has no business or apparent lawful purpose, or is not the sort in which the customer would normally be expected to engage, and the financial institution knows of no reasonable explanation for the transaction after examining the available facts, including the background and possible purpose of the transaction.

The Bank Secrecy Act requires the filing of a currency transaction report (CTR) whenever a currency transaction exceeds $10,000. If a currency transaction exceeds $10,000 and is suspicious, both a CTR (reporting the currency transaction) and a SAR (reporting the suspicious or criminal aspects of the transaction) must be filed. If the suspicious transaction equals or is below $10,000, only a SAR should be filed.

• Examples of Suspicious Transactions

The following are several examples of suspicious transactions:

1. A customer reduces a cash transaction from $15,000 to $9,000 after you inform him/her that a CTR must be filed.

2. A small local business makes transactions between $9,000 and $9,500 in cash every day, and you

know that business does not generate that amount of cash. A costumer, who you know or suspect is involved in an illegal business, makes transactions of $9,500 in cash several times a week.

3. Two or more individuals, who are obviously together, conduct separate cash transactions just under $10,000, each.

4. A customer exchanges small denomination bills ($5s, $10s, $20s) for large denomination bills

($50s, $100s).

5. A business that is not normally cash-intensive suddenly increases the amount of cash transactions.

6. A customer initiates a large number of wire transfers that are not consistent with his normal ordinary course of business.

These are only a few examples of suspicious transactions. Any CASH transaction of $2,000 or more that appears suspicious must be reported on a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the address below, or as implemented by Intermex reports may be electronically submitted to http://bsaefiling.FinCEN.treas.gov/main.html.

• Structuring and Money Laundering It is a Federal crime to structure a transaction. A “structured” transaction behalf of other persons, conducts or attempts to conduct one or more is considered to exist when a person acting alone, or in conjunction with, or on transactions in cash, in any amount, at one or more locations or branches of the Agent or at different financial institutions, on one or more days, in any manner for the purpose of evading BSA reporting or record keeping requirements. It also is a crime to assist a customer in structuring a transaction. If the Agent suspects that a customer is structuring transactions but turns a blind eye to that activity and fails to ask questions, the Agent may be found guilty of structuring. Examples:

Juan Garcia brings in $2,000 in cash and asks to send the money to Carmen Vera in Colombia. The next day Mr. Garcia brings in $2,000 in cash and asks to send the money to Jorge Vera in Colombia. Juan Garcia may be attempting to evade the BSA Wire Transfer Record keeping requirements. If the Agent determines that Mr. Garcia is structuring transactions, he or she must NOT complete the transaction. In addition, the Agent must follow the procedures for handling suspicious transactions.

The Agent sees Donna Green and Sue Smith enter the Agency together and speaking with each other. Each hands over less than $10,000 in cash and asks to send the money to Canada. The orders requested Ms. Green and Ms. Smith send both to Andrew White and total more than $10,000. Donna Green and Sue Smith may be attempting to evade the CTR reporting requirements. If the Agent determines that Ms. Green and Ms. Smith are structuring transactions, he or she must NOT complete the transactions. In addition, the Agent must follow the procedures for handling suspicious transactions. • Money Laundering Statutes It also is a Federal crime for any person to knowingly engage in any commercial or financial transaction or international transportation or transmission of funds with the proceeds of drug trafficking or other criminal activity. Knowledge may be established by proving that the person was “willfully blind” or “deliberately indifferent” to the source or origin of the funds. Examples

Jack King brings in $49,500 in cash and asks to send it to his mother in Europe. He mentions to the Agent that he has made money selling drugs and wants to share it with his mother. The Agent has knowledge that the funds used for the transfer are proceeds of drug trafficking. Because the Agent knows the funds are criminally derived, he or she must NOT complete the transaction. In addition, if the Agent completes the transaction that he or she knows or suspects may involve the proceeds of drug trafficking or other criminal activity, he or she may be guilty of money laundering.

Mark Lee is unemployed. He asks to send $15,000 to his father in Asia. Because this is a suspicious transaction, the Agent must question Mr. Lee about the source of the funds. Only if the Agent is fully satisfied that the funds are legitimately derived, may he or she complete the transaction. If the Agent does not question Mark Lee about the source of the funds in order to establish that the funds are not proceeds of criminal activity, and the funds are the proceeds of drug trafficking or other criminal activity, the Agent may be considered to be willfully blind to the source of the funds. If the Agent completes the transaction, he or she may be guilty of money laundering.

• Procedures for Handling Suspicious Transactions

Upon becoming aware of a suspicious transaction or activity, the Agent must investigate the situation.

1. If the transaction or activity appears to represent structuring to evade BSA reporting or record keeping requirements, or other criminal or unusual activity and no reasonable explanation is apparent, the transaction must NOT be completed. In addition, the Agent must file a SAR report in accordance with the BSA requirements and Intermex policies and procedures, and must send a copy of the SAR to Intermex, by fax.

2. If the transaction or activity being reported on a SAR appears to be part of an ongoing scheme, the Agent should consider notifying, by telephone the IRS (either by calling the local IRS/Criminal Investigation Division office or the IRS Hotline number, 1-800-CTRS), and should notify Intermex Compliance Department.

3. A transaction that is reported on a SAR may also require reporting on a CTR, if it involves more than $10,000 in cash on one business day.

4. The Agent MUST NOT NOTIFY any person he/she has been reported on a SAR.

The Bank Secrecy Act Policy, The BSA Compliance Program and the Procedures for the timely completion of the Currency Transaction Report (CTR), Suspicious Activity Report (SAR), the Monetary Instrument Log, Wire Transfer Log and Record Retention Schedule, fulfill Intermex’s commitment to actively participate in the eradication of money laundering and other financial crimes, as required by law and regulation.

ACTA DE SIGILO BANCARIO

El Acta de Sigilo Bancario (BSA) fue creado por el Congreso el año 1970 para combatir el lavado de dinero y otros crímenes financieros. El BSA requiere que muchas instituciones financieras generen un “camino de papeles” haciendo reportes manteniendo información de ciertas transacciones. Estos reportes son suministrados al Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos a la dependencia Red de Control de Crímenes Financieros (FinCEN). FinCEN colecta y analiza la información para darle soporte a las entidades investigadoras policiales y de proveer a los encargados de promulgar políticas con análisis estratégico de procesos, patrones y tipologías de lavado de dinero a nivel mundial. Los requisitos de reportes y almacenamiento de información son aplicados a bancos, cajas de ahorro, cooperativas incluyendo negocios de servicios de dinero (MSB). Aparte de esta guía general, hay otros requisitos que pudieran ser obligación de un MSB específico. Por favor visite la página web www.fincen.gov para más información.

Cuando criminales tratan de esconder o disfrazar la procedencia de dinero ilegal convirtiéndolo en fondos que aparentan ser legítimos se llama lavado de dinero. Cada año los lavadores de dinero tratan de ocultar la procedencia de dinero ilícito pasando cientos de millones de dólares por el sistema financiero, incluyendo negocios de servicio de dinero (MSB). El lavado es mas éxito cuando los criminales no tienen que dejar un “rastro de papel” que una el dinero al crimen cometido. Los organismos policiales pueden seguir “rastro de papel” creado por los reportes y la información de las instituciones financieras. Siguiendo los requisitos federales de mantenimiento de información y reportes, usted puede ayudar a los organismos policiales a prevenir que los criminales se escapen -con sus ganancias- de ser penalizados.

Actividades Sospechosas Una actividad sospechosa es una transacción o el intento de hacer una transacción o un patrón de transacciones que usted sabe, sospecha o tiene motivos para sospechar y reúne alguna de estas condiciones:

Contiene dinero de alguna actividad criminal

Esta diseñada para evadir requisitos del Acta de Sigilo Bancario, ya sea por estructuración u otros medios.

Aparenta no tener sentido de negocios o algún otro sentido legal y que otros

factores pertinentes no provean de una explicación razonable.

Utiliza a un negocio de servicios de dinero para facilitar el crimen. Ejemplos de posibles actividades sospechosas:

Un empleado utiliza una identificación falsa, o varias identificaciones en ocasiones diferentes (nombres y direcciones pueden ser diferentes)

Dos o mas clientes utilizan el mismo documento (con fotos y nombres diferentes)

Estructuración Diseñar una transacción con el propósito de evadir requisitos de reportes u obtención de información es “estructurar”. La estructuración es un crimen federal, y tiene que ser reportado mediante un Reporte de Actividad Sospechosa (SAR). Ejemplos:

Un cliente separa una transacción grande en dos o más transacciones pequeñas.

Un hombre quiere hacer una transacción de $12,000 en efectivo. Pero sabiendo que hay que reportar transacciones de más de $10,000, procede a partir las transacciones en dos de $6,000 cada una.

Una transacción grande es partida en dos o mas para ser efectuadas por dos o mas

personas.

Una mujer quiere hacer un envío de $5,000, pero sabiendo que hay que reportar transacciones de más de 3,000; ella hace un envío de $2,500 y le dice a su amiga que haga otro envío de $2,500.

Rev 01/21/10 Property of Intermex

Señales de Alerta

Hay muchos factores que pueden ser “señales de alerta” que nos indiquen que una transacción pueda ser sospechosa. Al observar estas señales deberíamos hacernos algunas preguntas como:

¿La cantidad de dinero parece ser muy grande para el cliente típico, o el negocio de servicios de dinero?

¿El cliente hace este tipo de transacciones mas frecuentemente que lo normal?

¿El tipo de transacción parece ser normal para este cliente o negocio?

Ejemplos:

El cliente presenta identificación falsa.

Dos o más clientes usan el mismo documento.

El cliente cambia los montos después de saber que tiene que presentar identificación.

El cliente hace transacción justo por debajo de los límites de reporte.

Dos o más clientes, tratando de evadir el reporte de BSA, aparentan estar

trabajando juntos para partir la transacción en dos o mas.

Un cliente, tratando de evadir el reporte BSA, utiliza servicios de dos o más negocios de dinero (MSB) en el mismo día para partir la transacción.

Si es obvio que un cliente a cometido un crimen –como por ejemplo ofrecer una coima o haya admitido un crimen- la ley requiere que uno reporte en un SAR si la cantidad es de $2,000 o mas. Recuerde:

Usted tiene 30 días para reportar un SAR después que usted supo de una transacción o un patrón de transacciones o actividades sospechosas.

Cuando usted reporta una actividad sospechosa la ley lo protege de

responsabilidad civil.

La ley no le pide acusar a nadie de un crimen – usted solo tiene que reportar en un SAR si usted sospecha de una actividad que la cantidad es de $2,000 o mas.

Rev 01/21/10 Property of Intermex

Si se presenta una situación urgente, contacte a las autoridades pertinentes inmediatamente; después remita un SAR.

Es ilegal decirle a cualquier persona envuelta en las transacciones que se ha

enviado un SAR.

PROGRAMAS DE ANTI-LAVADO DE DINERO

Todos los MSBs están requeridos por el gobierno, de mantener en funcionamiento un programa de anti-lavado de dinero (AML). La regulación federal que requiere que los MSBs desarrollen y mantengan un programa de anti-lavado esta el 31 CFR 103.125. Cada programa deberá ser desarrollado de acuerdo al riesgo que cada negocio posea en cuanto a ubicación, tamaño, naturaleza y volumen de los servicios financieros que este provea. Por ejemplo, un MSB grande que procesa un alto volumen de envíos en Los Angeles, tiene un riesgo mas alto que un cambiador de cheques pequeño en Idazo. Por lo tanto, el remesador en California deberá tener un programa de anti-lavado mas complejo, de acuerdo al riesgo mas alo que este posee, que el negocio mas pequeño en Idaho que es de bajo riesgo en cuanto a lavado de dinero. Un programa eficaz es diseñado para prever que el MSB sea utilizado y facilite el lavado de dinero. Un programa de Anti-lavado eficaz tiene que estar por escrito y deberá:

Incorporar políticas, procedimientos y controles internos razonablemente diseñados para asegurar el cumplimiento con las leyes BSA;

Designar un oficial de cumplimiento responsable por vigilar día a día el

cumplimiento de las leyes BSA;

Proveer educación y entrenamiento a los empleados; y

Tener un proceso de revisión independiente para monitorear y mantener el programa.

OFICINA DEL CONTROL DE ACTIVOS EXTRANJEROS (OFAC)

La Oficina del Control de Activos Extranjeros (OFAC) del Departamento del Tesoro administra y aplica sanciones económicas basadas en la política exterior de los Estados Unidos y de seguridad nacional que atacan ciertos gobiernos, grupos terroristas, narcotraficantes internacionales y todos aquellos que estén tras el desarrollo de armas de destrucción en masa. Intermex ha implementado un sistema de filtros OFAC que protege a la empresa de los individuos que son específicamente designados como personas o entidades bloqueadas. Todas las transacciones de envíos pasan a través del filtro, ya sea al entrar o salir de los Estados Unidos. El sistema inmediatamente detecta una similitud y transfiere la transacción a un archivo especial que es revisado por el departamento de cumplimiento. Luego se procede a la verificación de la identidad del individuo retenido por el filtro por medio de la suministración de los documentos de identidad. Si la similitud resulta negativa, la transacción será procesada inmediatamente, y el envío llegara a su destino. Si el sistema detectara un apersona bloqueada, Intermex deberá bloquear la transacción y seguir los reglamentos y regulaciones estipuladas por la Oficina del Control de Activos Extranjeros.

PENALIDADES CIVILES Y CRIMINALES Penalidades tanto civiles como criminales pueden ser adjudicadas por violaciones de las leyes y regulaciones de anti-lavado. Estas penalidades pueden ser multas y también pena de cárcel. Un MSB que no cumple con los requisitos del BSA puede recibir penas hasta de $500 por negligencia y por violaciones adrede: la cantidad de la transacción (hasta $100,000) o $25,000. Bajo algunas circunstancias, los negocios pueden ser culpables por crímenes cometidos por los empleados. La pena máxima por violar las regulaciones BSA es una multa hasta de $500,000 o prisión por un término de 10 años o ambos. Por lo tanto, es imperativo que los empleados sean entrenados y educados de cómo cumplir con las regulaciones BSA, y que exista un sistema funcionando que asegure que los empleados están cumpliendo con las leyes y regulaciones de Anti-lavado. Los MSB pueden ser de mucha ayuda para el gobierno federal en lucha contra el lavado de dinero. Por lo menos, los MSBs deberán diligenciar los reportes correctamente, enviarlos a tiempo, crear y mantener el programa adecuado de cumplimiento y seguir las sugerencias que el Departamento del Tesoro provee.

THE BANK SECRECY ACT

The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) was enacted by Congress in 1970 to fight money laundering and other financial crimes. The BSA requires many financial institutions to create “paper trails” by keeping records and filing reports on certain transactions. These reports are submitted to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). FinCEN collects and analyzes the information to support law enforcement investigative efforts and to provide U.S. policy makers with strategic analyses of domestic worldwide money laundering developments, trends and patterns. The BSA’s reporting and recordkeeping provisions apply to banks, savings and loans, and credit unions as well as other financial institutions, including money services businesses (MSBs). In addition to the general guidelines provided here, other BSA requirements may apply to a specific MSB. Please visit www.msb.gov for more regulatory information.

MONEY LAUNDERING

When criminals try to hide or disguise the source of their illegal money by converting it to funds that appear legitimate, the process is called “money laundering.” Every year, money launderers try to cover up the illegal source of their money by funneling hundreds of millions of dollars through financial institutions, including money services businesses (MSBs). Money laundering is most likely to be successful when criminals avoid leaving a “paper trail” of transactions linking the money back to their crime. Law enforcement can follow the “paper trail” created from reports and records of financial institutions. By following federal recordkeeping and reporting requirements, you can help law enforcement prevent criminals from getting away with – and profiting from – their crimes.

Rev 01/21/2010 Property of Intermex – Reproduction prohibited

Suspicious Activity Suspicious activity is any conducted or attempted transaction or pattern of transactions that you know, suspect or have reason to suspect meets any of the following conditions:

Involves money from criminal activity. Is designed to evade Bank Secrecy Act requirements, whether through structuring

or other means. Appears to serve no business or other legal purpose and for which available facts

provide no reasonable explanation. Involves use of the money services business to facilitate criminal activity.

Examples of Possible Suspicious Activity:

A customer uses a false ID, or multiple IDs on different occasions (name, address, or identification number may be different).

Two or more customers use the same or similar IDs (photo or name may be different).

Structuring Designing a transaction to evade triggering a reporting or recordkeeping requirement is called “structuring.” Structuring is a federal crime, and must be reported by filing a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). Examples

A customer breaks a large transaction into two or more smaller transactions. A man wants to conduct a transaction involving $12,000 in cash. However, knowing that the cash threshold of more than $10,000 for filing a CTR would be met, he conducts two cash transactions of $6,000 each.

A large transaction is broken into two or more smaller transactions conducted by

two or more people. A woman wants to send a $5,000 money transfer, but knowing that the threshold of $3,000 or more for recording of funds transfers would be met; she sends a $2,500 money transfer and asks her friend to send a $2,500 money transfer.

Rev 01/21/2010 Property of Intermex – Reproduction prohibited

Red Flags There are a number of possible factors, or “red flags,” which signal that an activity or transaction might be suspicious. Observing a “red flag” should trigger some questions, such as:

Is the amount of the transaction unusually large for the typical customer or for the MSB?

Does the customer make the same or similar transactions more frequently than normal?

Does the type of transaction seem unusual for the customer or the MSB? Examples:

Customer uses fake ID. Two or more customers use similar IDs. Customer changes a transaction after learning that he or she must show ID. Customer conducts transactions so that they fall just below amounts that require

reporting or recordkeeping. Two or more customers, trying to evade BSA requirements, seem to be working

together to break one transaction into two or more transactions. Customer, trying to evade BSA requirements, uses two or more MSB locations or

cashiers on the same day to break one transaction into smaller transactions. If a customer does something obviously criminal – such as offering a bribe or even admitting to a crime – the law requires you to file a SAR if it involves or aggregates funds or other assets of $2,000 or more. Remember:

You have 30 calendar days to file a SAR after becoming aware of any suspicious transaction or pattern of suspicious transactions or activities that are required to be reported.

When you report suspicious activity, the law protects you from civil liability. You are not being asked to accuse customers of criminal activity – you are only

required to file a SAR if you believe the activity is suspicious and involves $2,000 or more.

If a situation seems to require immediate attention, contact the appropriate law enforcement authority right away; then file a SAR.

It is illegal to tell any person involved in the transaction that a SAR has been filed.

Rev 01/21/2010 Property of Intermex – Reproduction prohibited

RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS Intermex Form 1025 Intermex must receive a completed form 1025 for money transfers to Colombia of $1,000 or more, for money transfers from Oklahoma State of $1,000 or more and for money transfers to all other countries of $2,000 or more. The form must be legible, fully completed and signed both by the agent and the remitter. One valid form of picture identification document from the remitter must be submitted by fax prior to Intermex processing the transaction. When a US identification document is presented, for money transfers of $3,000 and more (Oklahoma for $1,000 or more), a copy of the Social Security Card or ITIN (IRS Individual Taxpayer ID Number) must be provided. Acceptable forms of identification include: US Driver’s License Consular ID Card US Identification Card Foreign Electoral Card US Employment Authorization Card Cédula de Identidad US Resident Alien Card US Military Card Passport In addition to the established limits, Intermex will analyze sender frequency and accumulated amounts, requiring the sender to provide form 1025 at that time. Money Transfers of $3,000 or More (Oklahoma for $1,000 or More) MSBs that accepts an instruction to send or to pay a money transfer must obtain and record specific information for each money transfer of $3,000 or more (Oklahoma for $1,000 or more), regardless of the method of payment. The requirement to record funds transfers requires an MSB to verify by remitter or beneficiary: 1. Verify customer ID 2. Record customer and transaction information. 3. Sender must provide certain information to the receiving MSB or other receiving

financial institution. 4. Keep the record for 5 years from the date of transaction.

Rev 01/21/2010 Property of Intermex – Reproduction prohibited

Cash Purchases of Monetary Instruments of $3,000-$10,000 inclusive MSBs that sell money orders or traveler’s checks are required to record cash purchases involving $3,000 - $10,000, inclusive. Multiple cash purchases of monetary instruments totaling $3,000 or more must be treated as one purchase which must be recorded if: 1. They are made at the same time, or 2. The MSB has knowledge that such purchases occurred during one business day. To record a money order or traveler’s check sale for cash of $3,000-$10,000, inclusive you must: 1. Verify and record customer information, including ID. 2. Record transaction information – amount, date of sale and serial number(s) for each instrument. 3.

Involves more than $10,000 in either cash-in or cash-out, and

Is conducted by, or on behalf of, the same person, and

Is conducted on the same business day. Multiple cash transactions are considered to be one transaction on which a CTR must be filed if the MSB has knowledge that:

They are by or on behalf of the same customer during one business day, and

They are conducted at one or more branches or agents of the same MSB, and

They total more than $10,000 in either cash-in or cash-out. To File a CTR you must:

1. Verify and record customer ID.

2. Record customer transaction information.

3. Make a copy of the completed CTR.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS

Each MSB is required by law to have an effective anti-money laundering (AML) compliance program. The regulation requiring MSBs to develop and maintain an AML compliance program is contained in 31 CFR 103.125.

Each program must be commensurate with the risks posed by the location, size, nature and volume of the financial services provided by the MSB. For example, a large money transmitter with a high volume of business located in the Los Angeles area is at higher risk than a small check casher with a low volume of business located in Boise. Therefore, the large California money transmitter would be expected to have a more complex AML compliance program, commensurate with its higher risk, than the smaller Idaho check casher, who is at lower risk of being used to facilitate money laundering. An effective program is one designed to prevent the MSB from being used to facilitate money laundering.

Each AML compliance program must be in writing and must: Incorporate policies, procedures and internal controls reasonably designed to

assure compliance with the BSA; Designate a compliance officer responsible for day-to-day compliance with the

BSA and the compliance program; Provide education and/or training of appropriate personnel; and

Provide for independent review to monitor and maintain an adequate program.

OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSET CONTROL (OFAC)

The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Intermex has implemented an OFAC filter system that safeguards against those individuals that are specially designated nationals or blocked persons. All wire transactions flow through the filter, whether leaving or entering the United States. The OFAC system immediately detects a possible match and transfers the money transfer transaction to a special file that is reviewed by the Compliance department. Consequently, the verification of the identity of the individual detected by the system must take place by way of obtaining and inspecting a valid identification document. If a false positive match is obtained, the money transfer will be immediately released for payment. If a positive match is verified, Intermex must block the transaction and follow all rules and regulations stipulated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES

Civil and criminal penalties can be imposed for violations of anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Penalties can result in substantial fines and in prison terms. Any MSB that fails to comply with BSA reporting and record keeping requirements faces possible civil penalties of up to $500 for negligent violations and the greater of the following two amounts for willful violations: the amount involved in the transaction (up to $100,000) or $25,000. Under certain circumstances, businesses can also be held criminally liable for the acts of their employees. The maximum criminal penalty for violating a BSA requirement is a fine of up to $500,000 or a term of imprisonment of up to 10 years, or both.

It is therefore important that employees are thoroughly trained on how to comply with BSA regulations and that a system is in place to ensure that employees are following all anti-money laundering laws and regulations.

MSBs can do a great deal to help the federal government in its anti-money laundering efforts. At a minimum, MSBs should file all BSA reports accurately and in a timely fashion, create and maintain accurate BSA records for the requisite time period, establish and maintain appropriate compliance programs and follow all Treasury Department guidance related to the BSA.

If an MSB knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect that any transaction or activity is suspicious and it involves or aggregates funds or other assets of $2,000 or more, ($5,000 or more if identified by issuers from a review of clearance records), it must file a SAR.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance program –All MSBs are required to

develop and implement an AML compliance program.

If an MSB provides either cash-in or cash-out transactions of more than $10,000 with the same customer in a day, it must file a CTR.

If an MSB provides money orders or traveler’s checks for cash of $3,000-

$10,000, inclusive, to the same customer in a day, it must keep a record.

If an MSB provides money transfers of $3,000 or more (Oklahoma for $1,000 or more) to the same customer in a day, regardless of the method of payment, it must keep a record.

4 OFICINA DE CONTROL DE BIENES EXTRANJEROS (OFAC)

ESPAÑOL

Protegiendo Nuestra Seguridad Nacional: La Importancia de Cumplir con

la Oficina de Control de Bienes Extranjeros (OFAC) para las Empresas de Servicios Monetarios

Hace unos meses, un individuo entró en una Casa de Cambio grande y pagó dinero en efectivo para enviar un giro a otro país. Ya que la cantidad era pequeña, la casa de cambio no obtuvo información adicional de identificación del remitente. Cuando el nombre del remitente se buscó en la lista de la OFAC, se encontró una coincidencia exacta en la lista de Terroristas Globales Especialmente Designados de la OFAC. Adicionalmente, el beneficiario estaba en el último país donde se sabía que el terrorista había estado. En el momento en que la Casa de Cambio buscó en la lista, el remitente ya no estaba en la oficina. La Casa de Cambio intentó contactar varias veces al remitente para obtener información adicional que hubiera llevado a conocer si él era o no el terrorista, y además esperó varios meses antes de avisar a la OFAC. Luego, de hecho resultó que el remitente era un terrorista y su dinero debio haber sido bloqueado de inmediato. Como consecuencia, la Casa de Cambio enfrenta posibles penalidades por su negligencia, y se perdió un punto importante en la lucha contra el terrorismo. La Importancia del Cumplimiento con la OFAC La narración anterior ilustra varios puntos que las Empresas de Servicios Monetarios (ESM) deben tener en cuenta: 1) Las ESM no pueden ignorar la responsabilidad de cumplir con la OFAC Las ESM son una alternativa importante a las instituciones bancarias tradicionales y pueden ser utilizadas por terroristas y narcotraficantes para transferir dinero dirigido a propósitos delictivos. Si las ESM no adoptan los procedimientos necesarios para proteger las transacciones, se crean medios que facilitan el movimiento de dinero de delincuentes y amenazan la seguridad nacional. 2) Es ilegal facilitar la transferencia de dinero a una Persona Especialmente Designada, sin importar el monto de la transacción. Contrario a lo que generalmente se cree las regulaciones de la OFAC no hacen excepciones a transacciones pequenas. Una ESM puede ser castigada por procesar una transacción de cualquier monto si una Persona Especialmente Designada o de la lista de Personas Bloqueadas de la OFAC toma parte en la transacción. Impedir e informar todas las transacciones que involucran objetivos sancionables, sin tener en cuenta el monto, puede prevenir un acto terrorista u otra actividad que amenace la seguridad nacional americana y los objetivos de su política extranjera.

3) La OFAC recomienda que las ESM recolecten toda la información del remitente y del beneficiario antes que el remitente abandone la oficina. Para determinar si el participante de una transacción está en la lista de Personas Especialmente Designadas de la OFAC, la ESM debe recolectar toda la información necesaria acerca del remitente antes que este salga de la oficina. El principio, "conocer al cliente", incluye pedir documentación que compruebe la identidad del cliente para ser comparada con los individuos y entidades de la lista de Personas Especialmente Designadas de la OFAC. Si la ESM no obtiene la información mientras el remitente está en la oficina, puede ser imposible obtenerla despues. Esto puede impedir la posibilidad de determinar si hay una coincidencia con la lista de la OFAC, lo cual puede causar un retraso en la notificación a las autoridades competentes, cuando se trata de un criminal. 4) Cuando una ESM descubre que una Persona Especialmente Designada de la lista OFAC está involucrada en una transferencia de dinero, la OFAC debe ser notificada de inmediato. Es sumamente importante que la ESM llame a la OFAC si determina que una Persona Especialmente Designada de la lista de la OFAC esta enviando o recibiendo una transferencia de dinero. Conocer la ubicación exacta de un terrorista o de un narcotraficante conocido, es muy importante para las autoridades competentes. Las ESM tienen la responsabilidad de mantener está información actualizada. ¿Qué es la OFAC? La Oficina de Control de Bienes Extranjeros (OFAC por sus siglas en inglés) es una oficina del Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos. La OFAC está autorizada por el Presidente para administrar y reforzar los programas de sanciones del gobierno estadounidense. Estos programas incluyen tanto sanciones para países como Cuba, Irán, y Sudán, como sanciones para individuos y entidades cuyos nombres aparecen en las listas de Nacionales Especialmente Designados y Personas Bloqueadas. En el sitio web www.treas.gov/ofac se pueden consultar las versiones más recientes de estas listas (SDN) e información acerca de los programas de los paises sancionados. Las sanciones económicas son usadas por el gobierno estadounidense para prevenir que los países, entidades, e individuos, usen el sistema financiero estadounidense para propósitos que van contra la política extranjera de EE.UU. y sus objetivos de seguridad nacional. Lista de Nacionales Especialmente Designados y Lista de Personas Bloqueadas La OFAC y el Departamento de Estado han “señalado” oficialmente a varios agentes extranjeros y organizaciones de fachada, así como terroristas, organizaciones terroristas, y narcotraficantes. Las personas señaladas y las entidades identificadas se incluyen en las listas de la OFAC que contienen más de 5,000 variantes en los nombres de individuos, entidades gubernamentales, compañías, y buques mercantes localizados en todo el mundo. Para cerciorarse que las transacciones ilícitas involucrando países, personas y entidades de la lista OFAC no sean procesadas, muchos bancos norteamericanos y corporaciones están usando un sofisticado software de “interdicción” desarrollado por el sector privado, para marcar las transacciones cuestionables que deben ser revisadas. Si este software marca una

transacción como coincidencia potencial con alguna entrada en las listas de la OFAC, se deben seguir ciertos pasos descritos en la próxima sección, para verificar que la coincidencia es real antes de llamar a la OFAC o tomar alguna acción con respecto al hallazgo. Cómo Determinar si se encuentra una coincidencia con las Listas de la OFAC El software de interdicción es una herramienta que ayuda a identificar coincidencias potenciales con la lista de la OFAC. Con el uso de este software inevitablemente habran muchos "positivos” falsos. Como consecuencia, se deben tomar ciertos pasos de “la debida diligencia” para cerciorarse que una coincidencia es una buena coincidencia, es decir, para determinar si un individuo que hace parte de las instrucciones de pago está en la lista de la OFAC. La siguiente puede ser utilizada como guía para determinar si hay una buena coincidencia: 1. Si la coincidencia está en la lista de países objetivo o está en alguna otra lista (por ejemplo, Lista del Departamento de Comercio EE.UU. o PEP, la CIA, Países no Cooperativos, Lista Consolidada Canadiense (OSFI), Participantes Inhabilitados por el Banco Mundial, Archivo de Oficiales Bloqueados, o funcionarios del gobierno de un País Señalado) cual fue la coincidencia?

• Si el nombre está en las listas de la OFAC o de países objetivo, continúe con el paso 2.

• Si está en alguna otra lista, debe avisar al “guardián” de esa lista.

Para preguntas sobre: (1) La Lista de Personas y Entidades Denegadas, por favor avise a la Oficina de Industria y Seguridad del Departamento de Comercio EE.UU. en el 202-482-4811, (2) Lista de personas solicitadas por el FBI o cualquier otra lista del FBI, revise el sitio web www.fbi.gov/contact/fo.htm, (3) Lista de Participantes Inhabilitados, por favor avise a la Oficina de Control del Comercio en Materiales de Defensa del Departamento de Estado EE.UU., 202-663-2700, o (4) Ley del Secreto Bancario y Ley Patriota USA, por favor avise a la Red para el Combate del Delito Financiero (FinCEN) en el 1-800-949-2732.

• Si usted no está seguro quien debe ser avisado, contacte al proveedor del software de interdicción que le avisó de la coincidencia.

• Si usted no puede identificar la coincidencia, debe avisar al proveedor del

software de interdicción. 2. Una vez establezca que hay una coincidencia con las listas de la OFAC o países objetivo, se debe evaluar la calidad de la coincidencia. Compare el nombre del individuo o la entidad en las instrucciones de pago con el nombre en la lista de la OFAC. ¿El nombre en la lista es de un barco o de una compañía? ¿Es el nombre de un hombre y la persona en la transacción es una mujer, o viceversa?

• Si la respuesta es si a cualquiera de las dos preguntas, no existe una coincidencia válida.

• Si la respuesta es no, continúe con el paso 3.

3. ¿Qué parte del nombre de la persona en la transacción se encuentra en la lista? ¿Solo el nombre o el apellido?

• Si la respuesta es si, no existe una coincidencia válida.

• Si la respuesta es no, continúe con el paso 4. 4. Compare la entrada completa de la lista de la OFAC con toda la información que tiene en las instrucciones de pago. Una entrada en esa lista a menudo tiene, por ejemplo, el nombre completo, la dirección, la nacionalidad, el pasaporte, la identificación de contribuyente, el número de cedula, el lugar de nacimiento, la fecha de nacimiento, nombres anteriores y seudónimos. ¿Faltan algunos de estos datos en las instrucciones del pago?

• Si la respuesta es si, obtenga más información y vuelva a compararla con el registro en la lista.

• Si la respuesta es no, continúe con el paso 5.

5. ¿Hay similitudes importantes o coincidencias exactas entre la información proporcionada por el remitente y la entrada en la lista de la OFAC?

• Si la respuesta es sí, por favor llame al 1-800-540-6322. • Si la respuesta es no, usted no tiene una coincidencia válida. *

* Si usted tiene razón para creer que al permitir a esta persona hacer negocios en los Estados Unidos violaría cualquier Regulacion, debe llamar a la línea 1-800-540-6322 y explicar lo que sabe o cree. Poniendo la “Debida Diligencia” en Práctica Para determinar si un individuo o una entidad está o no en la lista de la OFAC, se debe recolectar la mayor información como posible y realizar una comparación entre los datos de las personas en sus instrucciones de pago y los individuos y entidades en la lista de la OFAC. El siguiente es un ejemplo sobre cómo una ESM puede poner en práctica la “Debida Diligencia” . Un individuo entra en la oficina de una ESM con la intención de hacer una transferencia de US$200.00 a un individuo en Colombia. Él diligencia las instrucciones de pago: Orden del pago Remitente: Francisco Perdomo; 12345 Calle Principal, Ciudad, Estado, EE.UU. Codigo Postal 11111; Número de teléfono: (122) 456-7890 Institución que Recibe: Banco Agrario de Colombia; Bogotá, Colombia, Beneficiario: Eugenio Menezes; Carrera 0, 12-34, Bogotá, Colombia, Cuando se revisan los datos de la transacción a través del software de interdicción de la ESM, el empleado ve las siguientes alarmas:

El Remitente, Francisco Perdomo, es una coincidencia potencial con Eugenio Vargas Perdomo.

El Beneficiario, Eugenio Menezes, es una coincidencia potencial con Francisco

Dorneles de Menezes. Con esta información marcada, el personal de la ESM debe determinar si los individuos involucrados en la transacción son realmente los individuos de la lista de la OFAC. Si se obedecio al principio de "Conocer al cliente", ¿se obtuvo la identificación válida de Francisco Perdomo cuando entró en la oficina? ¿El proporcionó un documento válido como una licencia de conducir, un pasaporte u otra forma de identificación? Si no se hizo esto, tal vez falló la Debida Diligencia con respecto a la OFAC. ¿Qué sucede si quien entró a la oficina era Eugenio Vargas Perdomo? En la lista de la OFAC, el Sr. Perdomo es un Narcotraficante Especialmente Designado de Colombia. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos ha identificado su fecha de nacimiento como Noviembre 18 de 1969, su lugar de nacimiento es una ciudad de Colombia y su número de cédula es 17344616. (El número de cedula es el equivalente colombiano de un numero al Seguro Social de EE.UU.) Adicionalmente, el Sr. Perdomo usa el seudónimo Francisco Dorneles De Menezes. Ahora hay suficientes similitudes entre los nombres en las instrucciones de pago, que son una combinación de nombres y alias en la lista de la OFAC, que ameritan recolectar mas información del cliente y llamar a la línea de emergencia de la OFAC. Usted debe comparar la fecha de nacimiento, el lugar de nacimiento, y otra informacion para estar seguro que su cliente y cualquier otro individuo en las instrucciones de pago no está en la lista de la OFAC. Avisando a la OFAC Para cualquier pregunta con respecto al cumplimiento con la OFAC, por favor visite nuestro website: http://www.treas.gov/ofac O llame a la OFAC través de uno de los siguientes teléfonos: Línea de Emergencia de Cumplimiento: 1-800-540-6322 Fax : 202-622-2426 Correo de Emergencia (sólo para giros bancarios): [email protected]

Protecting Our National Security: The Critical Nature of OFAC Compliance for

Money Service Businesses

A few months ago, an individual walked into a large Money Service Business (MSB) and paid cash to send a wire overseas. Because the amount was small, the MSB did not obtain additional identifying information from the remitter. When the remitter’s name was run against OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list, it was an exact match to that of a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. In addition, the beneficiary was located in the country where the terrorist was last known to be. By the time the MSB ran its OFAC scan on the name, the remitter was no longer in the office. The MSB attempted several times to contact the remitter to obtain additional information which would have either definitively identified him as the terrorist or cleared him, but the MSB waited several months before contacting OFAC. As it turns out, the remitter was in fact a terrorist target and his funds should have been blocked immediately. The MSB now faces possible civil penalties for its negligence, and an important lead in the fight against terrorism was lost. The Importance of OFAC Compliance The above scenario illustrates a number of key points for MSBs to keep in mind: 1) MSBs cannot ignore their OFAC compliance responsibilities. MSBs are an important alternative to traditional banking institutions and may be used by terrorists and narcotics traffickers to transfer money for nefarious purposes. If MSBs neglect to adopt procedures for screening transactions, this creates an available means for criminals to move money and threatens U.S. national security. 2) It is illegal to facilitate a money transfer to an SDN, regardless of the amount of the transfer. Contrary to a common misconception, the OFAC regulations do not contain an exception for deminimis transactions. An MSB may be penalized for processing a transaction of any amount if a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person (SDN) is a party to the transaction. By interdicting and reporting all transactions involving sanctions targets, regardless of the amount, you may well prevent a terrorist act or other activity that threatens to undermine U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives. 3) OFAC recommends that MSBs collect all information on the remitter and the beneficiary before the remitter leaves the office. To determine if a party to a transaction is on OFAC’s SDN list, the MSB should collect all necessary information from the remitter before he or she leaves the office. This “know your customer” principle entails asking for documentation proving the identity of your customer in order to compare it to the individuals and entities on the SDN list. If the MSB does not validate the identity and contact information of the remitter before he or she leaves the office, it may be unable to obtain the information at a later time. This will make it impossible to determine whether or not there is a true match to the list and delay notification of law enforcement when a criminal is involved.

2

4) When an MSB discovers that an SDN is involved in a funds transfer, OFAC should be notified immediately. It is absolutely critical that an MSB call OFAC if it determines that an SDN is originating or receiving a funds transfer. Knowing the exact location of a known terrorist or narcotics trafficker is valuable information for law enforcement. MSBs have a responsibility not to let the information become outdated! What is OFAC? The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is an office of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. OFAC is empowered by the President to administer and enforce the U.S. government’s sanctions programs. These programs include both country sanctions, such as Cuba, Iran, and Sudan, as well sanctions placed on individuals and entities whose names are place on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) list. See www.treas.gov/ofac for the most recent version of the SDN list and country sanctions program brochures. Economic sanctions are used by the U.S. government to prevent targeted countries, entities, and individuals from, among other things, accessing the U.S. financial system for purposes that are contrary to U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives. Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List OFAC and the Department of State have officially “designated” numerous foreign agents and front organizations, as well as terrorists, terrorist organizations, and narcotics traffickers. The designated persons and entities are identified on OFAC’s SDN list, which contains over 5,000 variations on names of individuals, governmental entities, companies, and merchant vessels located around the world. To ensure that illicit transactions involving targeted countries and SDNs are not processed, many U.S. banks and corporations are using sophisticated “interdiction” software, developed by the private sector, to flag questionable transactions for review. If such software flags an item as a potential match to OFAC’s SDN list, certain “due diligence” steps outlined in the next section of this brochure should be taken to verify whether it is an actual match before contacting OFAC or taking action with regard to the match. How to Determine if You Have an Exact Match to the SDN List Interdiction software is a tool to help identify potential matches with OFAC’s SDN list. Inevitably, there will be many “false positives” with the use of this software. Therefore, certain “due diligence” steps should be taken to ensure that a “hit” is a “good hit,” i.e., to determine whether an individual or entity on your payment instructions is on the SDN list. The following is a guide on how to determine if you have a “good hit” when evaluating potential matches against the SDN list: 1. Is the “hit” or “match” listed on the payment instructions against OFAC’s SDN list or targeted countries, or is it “hitting” for some other reason (i.e., Commerce Control List or PEP, CIA, Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories, Canadian Consolidated List (OSFI), World Bank Debarred Parties, Blocked Officials File, or government official of a designated country), or can you tell what the hit is?

• If the name is hitting against OFAC’s SDN list or targeted countries, continue to Step 2 below. • If it is hitting for some other reason, you should contact the “keeper” of whichever other list the match is

hitting against. For questions about: (1) The Denied Persons List and the Entities List, please contact the Bureau of Industry and Security at the U.S. Department of Commerce at 202-482-4811, (2) The FBI’s Most Wanted List or any other FBI-issued watch list, please see the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s website at www.fbi.gov/contact/fo/fo.htm, (3) The Debarred Parties List, please contact the Office of Defense Trade Controls at the U.S. Department of State, 202-663-2700, or (4) The Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act, please contact the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) at 1-800-949-2732.

• If you are unsure whom to contact, please contact the provider of the interdiction software that told you there was a hit.

• If you cannot tell what the hit is, you should contact the provider of the interdiction software which told

3

you there was a hit. 2. Now that you have established that the hit is against OFAC’s SDN list or targeted countries, you must evaluate the quality of the hit. Compare the name of the individual or entity on your payment instructions with the name on the SDN list. Is th e name on the SDN list a vessel or a company rather than an individual (or vice-versa)? Is the name on the SDN list a male’s name whereas the person on your payment instructions is a female?

• If yes to either question, you do not have a valid match.* • If no, please continue to Step 3 below.

3. How much of the SDN’s name is matching against the name on your payment instructions? Is only one of two or more names matching (i.e., just the last name or just the first name)?

• If yes, you do not have a valid match.* • If no, please continue to Step 4 below.

4. Compare the complete SDN entry with all of the information you have on the matching name on your payment instructions. An SDN entry often will have, for example, a full name, address, nationality, passport, tax ID or cedula number, place of birth, date of birth, former names and aliases. Are you missing a lot of this information for the name on your payment instructions?

• If yes, go back and get more information and then compare your complete information against the SDN entry.

• If no, please continue to Step 5 below. 5. Are there important similarities or exact matches between the information provided by the remitter and OFAC’s SDN entry?

• If yes, please call the Hotline at 1-800-540-6322. • If no, you do not have a valid match.*

* If you have reason to know or believe that allowing this person to do business in the United States would violate any of the Regulations, you should call the hotline and explain this knowledge or belief. Putting “Due Diligence” into Practice Determining whether or not an individual or entity is on the SDN list requires collecting as much information as possible and performing a comparison between the parties on your payment instructions and the individuals and entities on the SDN list. The following is an example of how an MSB might approach “due diligence.” An individual enters an MSB office intending to send a $200.00 funds transfer to an individual in Colombia. He promptly prepares the following payment instructions :

Payment Order Originator/By-Order Party: Francisco Perdomo; 12345 Main Street, Anywhere Town, US 11111; Phone Number: (122) 456-7890 Account-With Institution: Banco Agrario de Colombia; Bogota, Colombia Beneficiary: Eugenio Menezes; Carrera 0, 12-34, Bogota, Colombia

4

When the above transaction data is run through the MSB’s interdiction software, the employee sees the following alerts: ü The by-order party, Francisco Perdomo, is a potential match to Eugenio Vargas Perdomo. ü The beneficiary, Eugenio Menezes, is a potential match to Francisco Dorneles de Menezes.

With this information flagged, your staff must now determine whether the individuals involved in this transaction are actually the individuals on the SDN list. Have you complied with the requirement to “know your customer?” Did you obtain valid identification on Francisco Perdomo when he walked into your office? Did he furnish a valid driver's license, passport, visa or other form of I.D.? If you did not ask these questions , then you may have "missed the boat" in exercising your due diligence with respect to OFAC compliance. What if the actual person who came into your office was Eugenio Vargas Perdomo. On the SDN list, Mr. Perdomo is a Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker Kingpin (SDNTK) located in Colombia. The U.S. Government has identified his date of birth to be November 19, 1969, his place of birth to be in Colombia, and his cedula number as 17344616. (A cedula number is the Colombian equivalent of a U.S. social security number.) Additionally, Mr. Perdomo uses the alias Francisco Dorneles De Menezes. There are enough similarities between the names on your payment instructions, which are a combination of the SDN’s name and alias, and the individual on the SDN list to merit collecting much more information from your customer and calling the OFAC Hotline.

Determining Whether Transactions Meet theReporting Threshold.

Only cash transactions that, if alone or when aggregated,exceed $10,000 should be reported on the CTR.Transactions shall not be offset against one another.

If there are both Cash In and Cash Out transactions thatare reportable, the amounts should be consideredseparately and not aggregated. However, they may bereported on a single CTR.

If there is a currency exchange, it should be aggregatedseparately with each of the Cash In and Cash Out totals.

Example 1: A person deposits $11,000 in currency to hissavings account and withdraws $3,000 in currency fromhis checking account. The CTR should be completed asfollows:

Cash In $11,000 and no entry for Cash Out. This isbecause the $3,000 transaction does not meet the reportingthreshold.

Example 2: A person deposits $11,000 in currency to hissavings account and withdraws $12,000 in currency fromhis checking account. The CTR should be completed asfollows:

Cash In $11,000, Cash Out $12,000. This is becausethere are two reportable transactions. However, oneCTR may be filed to reflect both.

Example 3: A person deposits $6,000 in currency to hissavings account and withdraws $4,000 in currency fromhis checking account. Further, he presents $5,000 incurrency to be exchanged for the equivalent in FrenchFrancs. The CTR should be completed as follows:

Cash In $11,000 and no entry for Cash Out. This isbecause in determining whether the transactions arereportable, the currency exchange is aggregated witheach of the Cash In and Cash Out amounts. The result isa reportable $11,000 Cash In transaction. The total CashOut amount is $9,000, which does not meet the reportingthreshold. Therefore, it is not entered on the CTR.

Example 4: A person deposits $6,000 in currency to hissavings account and withdraws $7,000 in currency fromhis checking account. Further, he presents $5,000 incurrency to be exchanged for the equivalent in Frenchfrancs. The CTR should be completed as follows:

Cash In $11,000, Cash Out $12,000. This is because indetermining whether the transactions are reportable, thecurrency exchange is aggregated with each of the CashIn and Cash Out amounts. In this example, each of theCash In and Cash Out totals exceed $10,000 and mustbe reflected on the CTR.

Items 30-33. Check the appropriate item(s) to identifythe following type of transaction(s):

30. Wire Transfer(s)31. Negotiable Instrument(s) Purchased32. Negotiable Instrument(s) Cashed33. Currency Exchange(s)

Item 34. Deposits/Withdrawals. Check this item toidentify deposits to or withdrawals from accounts, e.g.demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, timedeposits, mutual fund accounts, or any other accountheld at the financial institution. Enter the accountnumber(s) in Item 35.

Item 35. Account Numbers Affected (if any). Enterthe account numbers of any accounts affected by thetransactions that are maintained at the financial institutionconducting the transaction(s). If necessary, use additionalsheets of paper to indicate all of the affected accounts.

Example 1: If a person cashes a check drawn on anaccount held at the financial institution, the CTR shouldbe completed as follows:

Indicate negotiable instrument(s) cashed and providethe account number of the check.

If the transaction does not affect an account, make noentry.

Example 2: A person cashes a check drawn on anotherfinancial institution. In this instance, negotiableinstrument(s) cashed would be indicated, but no accountat the financial institution has been affected. Therefore,Item 35 should be left BLANK.

Item 36. Other (specify). If a transaction is not identifiedin Items 30-34, check Item 36 and provide an additionaldescription. For example, a person presents a check topurchase “foreign currency.” If multiple (more than one)foreign currencies are involved in the transaction, enterthe amount of the largest foreign currency transaction initem 26a or 27a and that currency’s country-code oforigin in item 29. Then check box 36 and enter theadditional foreign currencies amount(s) and country-code(s) of origin in the space provided.
