BSA Modernization Is Coming: What FinCEN’s AML/CFT Proposal Means for Community Financial Institutions
On April 7, 2026, FinCEN issued a proposed rule aimed at modernizing financial institutions’ AML/CFT programs under the Bank Secrecy Act. The proposal is not a final rule, but it does signal a meaningful shift toward more effective, risk-based AML/CFT programs focused on outcomes, not just procedural checklists.
In this Beyond the Vault session, we’ll provide a high-level overview of the proposed rule, what community financial institutions should be watching, and why now is the time to evaluate—not overhaul—your current AML/CFT program. We’ll also discuss practical ways financial institutions can prepare for future changes, strengthen program effectiveness, and think more strategically about technology, documentation, and risk management.
