Beneficial Ownership Rules Have Changed. What Should AML Teams Review?

Knowing who owns or controls a business is an important part of understanding financial crime risk.

In the US, FinCEN continues to focus on using financial intelligence to combat illicit finance, including money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes.

But the regulatory approach to beneficial ownership reporting has changed.

As of August 2026, US companies and US persons are exempt from reporting beneficial ownership information to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act.

Certain foreign entities registered to do business in the US remain subject to reporting requirements.

For financial institutions, this raises important considerations:

✅Customer due diligence: Can your institution establish who ultimately owns or controls a business?

✅Risk assessment: Are ownership structures and related risks adequately assessed?

✅Ongoing monitoring:Can changes in customer activity or ownership-related information trigger further review?

✅AML controls:Do your policies and procedures reflect current regulatory requirements?

Regulatory reporting requirements may change, but financial institutions still need effective, risk-based AML controls to identify and manage exposure to financial crime.

At SightSpan, we work with banks, fintechs, and financial institutions to review AML controls, identify gaps, and strengthen their approach to financial crime risk.

Illicit finance is no longer just a financial crime issue. It’s a national security concern.

It’s a pleasure to see our CEO, John Walsh, invited to speak at the 33rd Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., this December.

He will join Dr. Oonagh McDonald, CBE, former UK Member of Parliament, to address a subject with far-reaching implications for governments, financial institutions, and global security.

“Their discussion, “The New Financial Battlefield: Illicit Finance and National Security,” addresses a challenge that demands attention beyond the compliance function.

For financial institutions and policymakers alike, understanding where financial crime intersects with national security is becoming increasingly important.

We look forward to seeing John bring his perspective to this important discussion in December

Will you be attending the Forum in December? Connect with John Walsh on Capitol Hill as leaders come together to discuss the future of financial intelligence and national security.

There’s something special about being in a room with people who bring different experiences, ideas, and perspectives to the same conversation.

That was part of what made the Future Banking Summit a great experience for Anca Herinean, our VP, European Operations.

Ancuta joined Mihaela Zamfiratu for a discussion on AML compliance, with Luminița Mândrilă moderating the panel. She also had the opportunity to connect with fellow speakers Daniel Marius Staicu, Vali Mureșan, and Rebecca Georgiana Marina.

Thank you to future banking for bringing everyone together and making the event such a great experience.

We’re glad Ancuta was part of it, sharing her perspective on AML compliance and connecting with others working across financial services.

Payments fraud: Are institutions sharing enough information?

Fraud rarely stops at the boundary of one financial institution.

A transaction that looks suspicious to one bank may be connected to activity another institution has already seen. When those signals remain separate, opportunities to identify and disrupt fraud can be missed.

On October 7, the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced a new way for community bankers to report suspected payments fraud and highlighted information sharing between financial institutions.

The message for financial institutions is worth considering: detecting suspicious activity matters, but so does the ability to connect relevant information across institutions.

Is your institution equipped to identify weaknesses before they become bigger problems?

At SightSpan, our professionals help financial institutions assess AML controls, conduct audits and reviews, and identify gaps in their financial crime risk management programmes.

What a great day at PayTech Global Summit 2026 in Miami!

We were pleased to have SightSpan Founder & CEO John Walsh - Theboard Advisor join an impressive group of payments and banking professionals for an engaging panel discussion on the future of payments.

The conversation explored the evolving payments landscape, including AI, stablecoins, and cross-border payments, and the opportunities and questions these developments present for the financial services industry.

One important distinction emerged:
Efficiency is not the same as transformation.

AI can help organizations automate processes, identify patterns, reduce costs, and do more with fewer resources.

But the bigger question is what these gains mean for the people and businesses using the financial system.

📌 Can new technologies make cross-border commerce more accessible?

📌 Can they reduce barriers to financial participation?

📌 And can they create better ways for people and businesses to transact, save, and build wealth?

📌 These are the questions that will continue to shape the future of payments.

We’re glad to have been part of the conversation at PayTech Summit 2026.

A big thank you to the PayTech Global team for bringing together professionals and industry voices for meaningful conversations around the future of payments.

Is your AML system detecting risk, or just generating alerts?

It's easy to assume more alerts means better coverage, but that's not always the case.

In fact, a system that generates thousands of alerts can create a different problem: investigators spending significant time reviewing activity that ultimately does not indicate relevant risk.

The real question is what those alerts are helping the organisation identify.

Are they:
✅Highlighting genuinely suspicious activity?
✅Helping investigators identify patterns across transactions and accounts?
✅reducing unnecessary false positives?
✅Identifying emerging typologies earlier?
✅Giving investigators enough context to make better decisions?

As financial crime becomes more complex, the volume of alerts alone tells us very little about the effectiveness of an AML program.

A strong transaction monitoring system should not simply generate more work.

It should help an organisation distinguish relevant risk from activity that only appears unusual.

That makes the quality of detection, investigation and decision-making just as important as the number of alerts being generated.

For financial institutions, this raises an important question:

Is your AML program measuring how many alerts it produces, or how effectively those alerts help identify and investigate risk?

At SightSpan, we help financial institutions evaluate their AML and financial crime frameworks, including risk assessments, transaction monitoring, controls and investigative processes.
