The Patriot Act grants financial institutions "safe harbor" to share not only details of money laundering with each other, but also information on suspected instances of fraud and a range of other specified unlawful activities, U.S. officials clarified Friday.
A 10-page fact sheet updated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network now lists examples of information eligible for sharing through section 314(b) of the Patriot Act in response to suspected instances of fraud, such as video surveillance, IP addresses and other digital signatures in addition to transactional indicators of the crime.
Such indicators include high-value transfers to new payees; multiple accounts opened with the same names, addresses or other personal details; and logins to accounts from areas geographically distant from the holder's usual location.
