OFAC and Account Closing

Answered by:

Question:

If the OFAC list now contains a name that matches our customer’s name, should we immediately close the account?

Answer:

Definitely not. For one thing, it might be a false positive. For another thing, if it’s really your customer that is on the OFAC list, you have to freeze the account and report it to OFAC, not close it.
