FSA: Banks’ management of high money-laundering risk situations

This report describes how banks operating in the UK are managing money-laundering risk in higher risk situations. It focuses in particular on correspondent banking relationships, wire transfer payments and high-risk customers including politically exposed persons (PEPs). PEPs are individuals whose prominent position in public life may make them vulnerable to corruption. The definition extends to immediate family members and known close associates.
