Feds Issue First-Ever Order Against Credit Union for Cannabis Guideline Noncompliance

Mar 24th | TG Branfalt

The federal National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board last month issued its first-ever administrative order against a financial institution for non-compliance with Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) rules for serving the cannabis industry.

The order against Michigan’s Live Life Federal Credit Union includes a consent to a cease-and-desist in which the credit union – without admitting to any wrongdoing – must “implement an automated system to effectively monitor and identify all transaction for suspicious activity” which must “include functions to support compliance with FinCEN requirements for Marijuana-Related Businesses (“MRB”).”
