## Source summary

The Bank Policy Institute and The Clearing House Association submitted a joint comment on the FDIC's proposed Bank Secrecy Act and sanctions-compliance standards for FDIC-supervised permitted payment-stablecoin issuers. The associations describe the proposal as part of the GENIUS Act framework and argue that overlapping, interdependent rulemakings and generally 60-day comment periods make coordinated review difficult.

## Why it matters

BSA and sanctions controls determine how regulated stablecoin issuers screen counterparties and flows, which directly affects whether stablecoins can serve cross-border settlement and remittance use cases. This is an advocacy comment on a proposed U.S. rule, not a final requirement or evidence that the associations' recommendations will be adopted.

## Key numbers
