How often must credit unions review exemptions granted to members?

Credit unions are required to review exemptions granted to members at least annually. This is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulations while also managing risks effectively. By conducting annual reviews, credit unions can reassess the eligibility of members for exemptions based on current information, transactions, and any changes in circumstances that may affect their risk profile. This practice helps maintain the integrity of the credit union's operations and ensures that the exemptions remain justified and compliant with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and related regulations. Regular reviews support vigilance in monitoring activities and reinforce the importance of ongoing due diligence in the context of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.
