Customer Due Diligence of Beneficial Owners
The goal of your institution’s Customer Identification Program (CIP) is just as it sounds, to identify your customers. Those requirements went into effect back in 2003. The Customer Due Diligence for Beneficial Owners (CDDBO) rules, which has been in effect since 2018, cast the net a little wider. The goal is to identify persons that may not necessarily be customers but may have ties to accounts at your institution. Specifically, you are required to identify the beneficial owners, which includes anyone with 25% and/or more ownership or that has significant managerial control over a legal entity customer. Uncovering the beneficial owners can be quite complex for some entities and this webinar will help walk you through it.

Kevin brings years of experience and a unique perspective on regulatory matters to our clients. A self-proclaimed geek and accredited CRCM, Kevin is also a recovering attorney with experience as in-house counsel for a large regional bank and one of the leading national title insurance providers. For reasons unknown, Kevin decided to leave the safety and serenity of his desk job to seek fortune and glory as a wandering adventurer. Like a bank compliance version of Kwai Chang Caine, The Man with No Name or Don Quixote, he now travels the land seeking to help those in need and righting compliance wrongs, wherever he may find them. Kevin lives in Sioux Falls with his two children, who are surprisingly normal after having endured their father’s vivid imagination for their entire lives. He won’t admit to having any hobbies, because apparently “Regulations never sleep.” (While he does say this in his Batman voice, we’re pretty sure he’s joking.) From the looks of his Facebook page, he likes the outdoors and spending time with his large extended family (who seem like relatively normal people).
