This Bank Secrecy Act training will explain how to train your frontline staff to ask BSA questions. It will cover Currency Transaction Report (CTR), Monetary Instrument Log (MIL) and Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) scenarios and questions and much more.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Because the frontline of any financial institution is the first line of defense, it stands to reason that ill-trained frontline staff will, in essence, be the collapse of your institution. A strong and well educated frontline staff will help develop a strong back office BSA department for your financial institution. Often times, the frontline doesn’t know why they are asking the questions or what the point of BSA truly is.
This webinar will not only give them viable scenarios and how to respond but will also explain why they are asking the questions in the first place. Another valuable section of this webinar will be teaching the frontline when questions need to be asked. Most are familiar with when they should question CTR and MIL related transactions, but being able to look at a customer’s account history can also teach them how to ask for possible SAR situations.
