BSA/AML Policy and Program
Officer may perform a risk assessment more frequently as new products, services, or modifications are introduced that materially impact the Bank’s risk profile. The risk assessment process forms the foundation of this BSA/AML/OFAC program. Using the results of the annual BSA/AML/OFAC risk assessment, the BSA/AML Officer will: ● Identify the Bank’s BSA/AML/OFAC risk profile; ● Evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of current and anticipated BSA/AML/OFAC controls; ● Identify any BSA/AML/OFAC risks that are outside of the Bank’s risk tolerance; and ● Recommend and implement modifications to the BSA/AML/OFAC program (and the underlying strategy, policies, and procedures) as needed to bring the Bank’s BSA/AML/OFAC risk to an acceptable level. In conducting the risk assessment, the BSA/AML Officer assigns inherent BSA/AML/OFAC risk ratings to each product and service based on a formal assessment of product/service, customer, and geographic risks. The BSA/AML Officer then determines the residual risk levels by assessing the effectiveness of relevant controls in mitigating inherent risks. The BSA/AML Officer reports the results of each assessment to the Board, together with an action plan for changes to the BSA/AML/OFAC program or the Bank’s business practices necessary to mitigate control weaknesses or align residual risk levels with the Bank’s risk appetite. The BSA/AML Officer will also assess the AML risks of each Fintech Partner consistent with the methodology specified above.

If TS&J does not receive satisfactory evidence of a customer’s identity, it will not permit the customer to transact. Customer Identification Program Pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act and its implementing regulations, TS&J will develop and implement a Customer Identification Program (“CIP”) that establishes procedures for verifying the identity of each customer that opens a new account. The Bank will: ● Make a reasonable effort to determine the identity of all customers requesting bank services;
