Correspondent banking is an essential component of global finance. However, navigating its murky waters can be relatively challenging. For instance, regulators are encouraging financial inclusion but certain jurisdictions are widely recognized as having lenient anti-money laundering standards, weak regulatory supervision, or present a greater risk for corruption or terrorist financing. Meanwhile, banks are expected to have a healthy risk appetite but must remain vigilant and may be inclined to terminate relationships at the first sign of trouble to avoid potential fines and prosecutions for non-compliance.
