Do the beneficial ownership requirements in the new customer due diligence final rule that takes effect May 11, 2018, include any new signage requirements for banks? Our forms vendor called to promote signs that describe the rule’s requirements, but we were not aware that we needed new signs.

No, the final customer due diligence rule that takes effect on May 11, 2018, does not include new signage requirements for banks, and it does not revise the existing customer identification program (CIP) signage requirements. Whether you wish to purchase and post signs regarding the new beneficial ownership requirements is a business decision for your bank.
