FORT WASHINGTON, PA – Banker’s Academy, the leading global provider of training solutions to the financial services industry, announced today its launch of a new Compliance program for non-bank residential mortgage lenders and originators (RMLOs).
The training is designed to help RMLOs comply with new rules issued by the US Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), requiring RMLOs to establish anti-money laundering (AML) programs and file suspicious activity reports (SARs).
“With our comprehensive footprint and rich heritage as a leader in serving the financial services industry, we’re uniquely qualified to design and deliver tailored programs to meet these requirements,” said Dr. Rick Burghli, CEO of Banker’s Academy. “These are important new rules for RMLOs, and we’re ready and eager to help our clients meet the requirements in a timely manner.”

1) Establish AML programs that include:
- Development of internal policies, procedures, and controls.
- Designation of a compliance officer.
- Ongoing employee training.
- Audits to test implemented programs.
2) File SARs pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act:
