New York State Banking department issues Cease & Desist against credit union for AML deficiencies
27 June 2007

Credit unions had better check their AML/BSA programmes; that's the obvious message when such agencies as the New York State Department of Banking (NYSDB) filed a Consent Order to Cease and Desist against Niagara Frontier Federal Employees Credit Union, of Niagara Falls, New York for AML and BSA deficiencies, amongst other shortcomings.

The credit union was ordered to:

  • Revise BSA Policies & procedures to comply with Bank Secrecy Act within 60 days.
  • Revise OFAC compliance policies within 60 days.
  • Conduct an independent test of compliance with BSA and OFAC requirements within 90 days.

The report on the test was to go to the NYSDB.
