Are your Cash Correspondent Banks segregating client cash?

Under the many global banking rules (i.e. UK CASS, SEC Rule 15(c)3-3) regulated firms upon receipt of client funds, must promptly place all client money into one or more client bank accounts, separately and identifiable from the firm’s own proprietary bank accounts, even in instances where the money concerned is held for only a short time before being paid onward.

Based on the 356 Cash Correspondent Monitoring questionnaire submissions for 2021, 71.6% of all cash correspondent banks do keep client cash is segregated and identified. However, most alarmingly, 7% of respondents were stated they did not segregate and identify client cash.

Do you understand what your bank does with client money?
