The Oyster Difference

Oyster Consulting realizes that each AML program is unique. Our compliance professionals will create a customized program aligned to your firm’s business model and operating environment, while adhering to all requirements and best practices of FINRA Rules, Customer Identification Program (CIP), Financial Crimes Network (FinCEN), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and the USA PATRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act. 

Regulatory Background

Broker-dealers are required under FINRA Rule 3310 to establish and maintain an Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Compliance Program.
