Would you mind giving a few examples that are commonly enforced? I can think of flagging deposits over x units, request to provide proof of how cash is obtained and blocking transactions with international banks that might be loose on the obedience.

<p>I'm not sure if I'm using the term correctly but there's something that's referred to as <em>compliance in banking</em>.

# What is banking compliance

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-01-26)

I'm not sure if I'm using the term correctly but there's something that's referred to as *compliance in banking*. Am I correct to understand that it's the process of obeying the laws and regulatory guidelines for financial institutions in general? Or is there a more specific meaning to the term?

What would be two or three common examples of such compliances?
