introduced to combat money laundering and the financing of
terrorism. Once the concern primarily of banks, governments
have expanded regulations and requirements for compliance
since the late 1990s. Now all financial service providers,
including those working with low-income communities, are or

framework and national measures for Anti-Money Laundering
(AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) could
have far-reaching effects. |
