The FDIC monitors compliance with the BSA-related regulations by conducting on-site examinations of every FDIC-supervised depository institution.

Civil money penalties and regulatory enforcement actions may be imposed for noncompliance with money laundering regulations which can endanger the bank’s capital and earnings. Furthermore, banks may be criminally prosecuted for willful violations of money laundering statutes that could ultimately lead to termination of FDIC insurance.”
