SUMMARY:Ouch....Chargeback Insights
DESCRIPTION:Chargebacks are a complicated matter when they happen nowadays given that there has been a liability shift from the merchant to the issues in most cases due to the use of 3D Secure\, EMN\, TAP and PIN\, as well as things like Interac e-transfers\, Pre-authorized Debit\, and wallet providers. \nThis shift still hasn’t stopped most banks\, credit unions\, and others involved in the chargeback process from dealing with Money Service Businesses\, Payment Services Providers\, and Crypto companies very differently than traditional merchants. In some cases\, very punitively. \nIn this presentation\, we will look at what a chargeback is\, the reasons for chargeback occurring\, and how best to deal with them not only when they happen\, but what steps to take to prevent them from happening in the first place\, where possible. \nAll participants will receive a certificate of attendance and access to the recording.

SUMMARY:Most Payment Services Providers are now considered MSBs!  Have you registered with FINTRAC yet?
DESCRIPTION:On April 27\, 2022\, new regulations were introduced by the Department of Finance enacting requirements specifically targeted towards Payment Services Providers (PSP) and crowdfunding platforms.  FINTRAC has recently sent a follow-up notice on July 21\, 2022\, related to the fact that there is an expectation that ALL PSPs\, with very few exceptions\, register with FINTRAC. The notice can be found here: link \nThe intent of FINTRAC’s notice is to most likely capture entities that would be covered under the changes coming as part of the new Retail Payments Activity Act.  With the rescinding of PI-7760 by FINTRAC\, most entities providing third-party payments services must immediately register with FINTRAC.   \nIn this session\, we have brought together industry experts to provide information related to the following; \n\nWhere did this come from and why now?\nWhat does it mean to PSPs and the associated definition?\nConsequences of not registering.\nScope of responsibility\nSuggested Steps to take\nWhat does it mean to MSB/FMSB who are servicing PSPs or being serviced by PSP?\n\n  \nFollowing the presentation\, there will be a short Q&A/Panel to answer any questions you may have! \nJoin us on Aug 25/22 from 1-3 pm! \nRegister Button \nPresenters: \n\n\n\nMarc Lemieux – Lead counsel at Lemieux Business Law\nAmber Scott – Founder & CEO – Outlier Solutions Inc.\nPeter Morcos – Founder & Practice Leader – Reliance Compliance Solutions Inc.

SUMMARY:Best Practices/Insights for Dealers in Virtual Currencies
DESCRIPTION:Most Dealers in Virtual Currencies (DiVC) in Canada now have had a full year’s experience under the Proceeds of Crime\, Money Laundering\, and Terrorist Finance Act and associated regulations (PCMLTFA/R). At that time\, DiVCs had to navigate this new world as administered by FINTRAC. Sometimes on their own\, with the assistance of others\, and most likely some seasoned veterans within the AML/CTF community in Canada. As we embark on the second year\, new insights will surely be gleaned as more examinations and maturity starts to sprout or blossom amongst the DiVC community. To this end\, the Canadian MSB community has been honoured with an inside view from some of the most seasoned veterans In Canada today! Participants will be guided through strategies for “Reasonable Measures\, Transaction Monitoring/Controls\, and Best Practices” related to DiVC in Canada. Join us as Rodney MacInnes(Outliers)\, Giles Dixon(Bitfinex)\, Charlene Cieslik (local coin)\, Marcelle Dadoun (theAMLshop\, Peter Morcos(Reliance Compliance)\, Paul Burak (Shakepay)\, and Joseph Iuso (Bitbuy) and don’t miss your chance to learn and ask questions! \n\nCMSBA Members\, please sign in to the CMSBA website (canadianmsb.org) to get your code for MEMBER ONLY 100% off the general ticket price. \n\nClick here to buy the tickets

SUMMARY:AML 2.0 - A New Way to Look at Money Laundering (ML)
DESCRIPTION:This in-depth look at basic money laundering will provide participants with a new perspective of money laundering that builds on the dated three stages of the money laundering model. Different crimes generate proceeds which are managed by criminals and launderers in a multitude of ways. \nUnderstanding the predicate crimes\, sources of criminal proceeds and terminology will allow MSB owners and operators to improve their transaction monitoring and reporting programs whether face to face or through automated means. Linking this updated means to understand the laundering of the proceeds of crime also assists people to better understand the relevant legislation underlying the reporting requirements. \nCriminals including money launderers who are just as responsible as those who commit crimes for profit use a tremendous variety of techniques to obscure dirty money. When discussing money laundering\, I like to start at the beginning which means starting with the predicate crimes and offences that GENERATE the proceeds of crime. John Broome\, a noted academic and AML professional from Australia\, describes six stages of money laundering. Describing money laundering by way of the three stages\, placement\, layering and integration limits one’s understanding about how the source of funds matters\, why wealth is hidden and ultimately what criminals are able to do with the potentially vast wealth they have accumulated as a result of criminal activities. I think there is tremendous value in understanding and applying these concepts as a teaching tool for staff of reporting entities\, intelligence and law enforcement officers.
