COVID-19: Bank Secrecy Act Reporting Requirements and Suspicious Activity Reports

Bank Secrecy Act officers have discovered that the COVID-19 pandemic has spawned all manner of scams, price gouging, and even terrorist activities. FinCEN Advisories reveal a dizzying array of fraudulent transactions, all aimed at taking unfair advantage of Uncle Sam, the financial industry, and vulnerable Americans.

For example:

Fraudulent cures, tests, vaccines, and other services
Non-delivery scams
Price gouging and hoarding of medical materials
Imposter scams in which the bad guys pretend to be government officials, NGOs, universities, or legitimate charities
Money-mule schemes, especially with unemployment compensation, in which one individual transfers ill-gotten money on behalf of another
Bitcoin boondoggles on behalf of terrorist organizations like ISIS

The Bank Secrecy Act requires your financial institution to identify and report these growing illegal schemes in suspicious activity reports.

What federal relief legislation has changed the requirements?
What are some examples of suspicious activity reports related to the pandemic?
