In the case of correspondent account services relationships, the Capital Market Service Provider generally does not have direct relationships with the customers of the respondent financial institution. Therefore, there is no expectation or requirement for the Capital Market Service Provider to apply CDD on a respondent financial institution’s customer, which is, instead the responsibility of the respondent financial institution. Nonetheless, it is consistent with the risk-based approach for the Capital Market Service Provider to have some general sense of the respondent financial institution’s customer base as part of ascertaining the risks associated with the respondent financial institution itself.
