The Patriot Act grants financial institutions legal "safe harbor" to share details not only of money laundering, but also information on suspected instances of fraud and a wide range of other specified unlawful activities, U.S. officials clarified Friday.
A 10-page fact sheet authored by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network newly 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 as well as potential indicators of the crime.
Other indicators of fraud eligible for sharing 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.
