The New York Fed, on behalf of the Federal Reserve System, offers correspondent banking and custody services to foreign central banks and international monetary authorities (FIMA) and the System Open Market Account (SOMA) to facilitate their official financial operations, as well as support financial stability operations in the U.S. and abroad. The Central Bank and International Account Services (CBIAS) area of the New York Fed’s Markets Group serves the U.S. dollar reserve management needs of its official customers by offering payments, custodial, clearing and settlement, collateral management, and investment and liquidity services. CBIAS has a long history of providing safe and efficient banking services to its customer base by managing over $7 trillion for FIMA customers and SOMA with transaction volume presently exceeding $300 billion per day. CBIAS maintains operating locations in New York City (FRB-NY) and Richmond, Virginia (FRB-R).

The Account Transaction Monitoring (ATM) and Account Risk Analytics (ARA) staff units are two of three units within the Account Risk Management (ARM) Directorate within CBIAS. The ARM Directorate is responsible for risk management activities for its international account services. As the first line of defense for the FRBNY on these international accounts, ARM is principally focused on implementing anti-money laundering (AML), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) compliance, and fraud programs. The ATM staff conduct day-to-day operations and analytic initiatives related to account control, legal and reputational risk management activities associated with fraud, AML, and OFAC monitoring. The ARA staff supports and coordinates analysts with responsibility for the administration and operation of account control and legal and reputational risk management activities and the execution of AML and OFAC compliance programs.
