Policy/Procedures:

Money laundering is conducting or attempting to conduct a financial transaction knowing that the transaction is designed in whole or in part to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership, or control of the proceeds of unspecified unlawful activity.  To assist the federal government in detecting, preventing and eradicating criminal and terrorist financing activity, Bobzilla will take all of the necessary steps to comply with applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations. 


Bobzilla will maintain an anti-money laundering program in accordance with the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by the USA Patriot Act, and other applicable federal laws and regulations.  The program is reasonably designed to prevent Bobzilla donations from being used to facilitate money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities.  The program includes: 


  • Procedures to verify customer identification and retain necessary identifying and transactional information; 
  • A designated compliance officer to coordinate compliance with the program;
  • Suspicious activity reporting procedures and document retention guidelines for any suspicious activity reports and support documentation;
  • Training and education of appropriate personnel concerning their responsibilities under the program, including suspicious activity reporting; and 
  • Independent review to monitor and maintain an adequate program

Concerns regarding transactions that are unusually large or that appear suspicious and questions regarding money laundering in general should be directed to Bobzilla at info@bobzilla.org
