BERMUDA: Suspicious activity reporting to be extended to all trustees

The Bermuda Monetary Authority has drafted amendments to the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) legislation to extend the suspicious activity reporting obligations to non-professional trustees, and to broaden the definition of correspondent banking relationships. The existing prohibition on entering a correspondent relationship with a shell bank is to be extended to cover all financial institutions regulated under the money laundering regulations, not just banks.
