    Why AML Testing Matters in 2026

    FinCEN Final Rule (Effective Jan 1, 2026)

    SEC-registered RIAs and ERAs are now subject to BSA/AML program requirements, including independent testing.

    FINRA Rule 3310

    Broker-dealers must complete independent AML testing annually (or every two years for limited-business firms).

    State MTL & MSB Programs

    Money transmitters, fintechs, and BaaS partners face multi-state and FinCEN MSB testing expectations.

    Penalties Are Climbing

    2024–2025 AML enforcement actions averaged $5M+ per firm; even small RIAs see $25K–$250K deficiency settlements.
