The guidance clarifies the CIP and BO requirements applicable to introducing brokers (IBs) under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The guidance provides regulatory clarity to certain IBs who lack access to the information needed to comply with CIP and BO obligations. The guidance eliminates duplicative efforts without impacting money laundering or terrorist financing risk, as the customer due diligence obligations will continue to be performed by the futures commission merchant (FCM) that carries the customer account. The particular IBs subject to this guidance do not introduce their customers’ accounts to FCMs. The IBs do not receive or have access to the customer identification and financial information obtained by FCMs, or the monthly account information issued by FCMs. This guidance clarifies that these IBs are not required to carry out CIP and comply with BO requirements.
