NEW QUESTION # 48
A bank has a zero-tolerance policy for conducting activity with sanctioned entities or countries. The bank is asked to act as an intermediary to process a remittance. An analyst blocks the remittance because its destination is a sanctioned country. Which is the appropriate step for the analyst to take?
- A. Escalate the wire for consideration and processing.
- B. Process the wire because it falls under a license/exemption to sanctions for the provision.
- C. Process the wire and file a suspicious activity report to the regulator.
- D. Reject and return the remittance and notify the sending bank of the return for compliance reasons.
Answer: D
Explanation:
When a bank has a zero-tolerance stance regarding sanctioned jurisdictions and no applicable license or exemption exists, the appropriate response is to reject and return the remittance, informing the sending bank that the transaction cannot be processed for sanctions compliance reasons.
Escalation for consideration is inconsistent with a zero-tolerance policy. Filing a SAR does not authorize processing a prohibited payment. Processing on the assumption of a license without one presents regulatory violations.
Reference:
Requirement to reject prohibited transactions absent authorization.
Policy alignment with sanctions prohibitions and geographic restrictions.

NEW QUESTION # 61
A person designated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) as a Specially Designated National (SDN) sets up a company in a tax haven country to receive income from a consultancy business. Which is correct with respect to the company?
- A. It cannot be sanctioned by OFAC because it is set up in a tax haven country.
- B. It is not subject to OFAC sanctions
- C. It can transact freely in USD through a bank account held with a non-US Bank.
- D. It cannot transact through a US Bank, as it is owned by an SDN.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Under OFAC's 50 Percent Rule, any entity owned 50% or more by one or more SDNs is considered automatically blocked, even if it is not explicitly listed. The jurisdiction of incorporation (e.g., tax haven) does not exempt the entity from OFAC sanctions.
Because the SDN owns the company, the entity is also subject to OFAC prohibitions and cannot transact through the US financial system, including any USD-clearing banks, whether located inside or outside the United States.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect because OFAC sanctions apply regardless of where the company is registered and because USD transactions create a US nexus.
Reference:
OFAC 50 Percent Rule on ownership and blocking.
Prohibitions on US financial institutions processing transactions involving SDNs or SDN-owned entities.

- B. Currency and notional value of the transaction
- C. Agents, intermediaries, and financial institutions
- D. Free text fields
- E. Effective day of the payment
- F. Remitter and beneficiary
Answer: C,D,F
Explanation:
Sanctions and Compliance Domains specify that sanctions screening must include all fields that contain names, identifiers, or descriptive information that could reveal a connection to a sanctioned party or jurisdiction. This includes:
* Remitter and beneficiary fields - Core parties to the transaction must always be screened.
* Agents, intermediaries, correspondent banks, and financial institutions - These fields often contain additional parties that may be sanctioned or present sanctions exposure.
* Free text fields - These can include narrative descriptions, vessel names, ports, goods, or locations that may represent sanctions risk.
Currency, value, dates, and internal references do not contain identifiers relevant to sanctions screening and therefore are not required screening fields.
Reference:
Screening obligations across all relevant message fields containing parties or descriptive identifiers.
Inclusion of free-text and intermediary fields in standard sanctions screening scope.
