“In jurisdictions that regulate credit information and personal data, a fraud examiner will generally need a legally acceptable reason for accessing such information from third parties… some common circumstances include when: the individual has given consent”.

Body language alone (e.g., avoiding eye contact) cannot be taken as proof of deception. The Manual warns against drawing conclusions from a single behavioral cue:

“Avoiding eye contact is not directly linked to deception. Such behavior could stem from cultural norms, nervousness, or personality traits. Examiners should consider clusters of behavior, context, and corroborating evidence before concluding deception”.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations, as cited in the Fraud Examiners Manual, require enhanced due diligence in correspondent banking relationships. Specifically, banks must “avoid correspondent banking with shell banks” and ensure the foreign institution is properly licensed and regulated.

This means financial institutions must confirm that the foreign correspondent bank holds the necessary licenses or certifications to operate legitimately.

Other options (branch addresses, tax statements, or client loan profiles) are not mandated under FATF’s correspondent banking due diligence requirements. The most critical factor is verifying the correspondent institution’s legal authorization (licenses/certifications) to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
