Intermex’s goal is to ensure the complete financial safety and security of its agents and customers. As such, Intermex is in full compliance with all state and federal regulations and is actively involved in supporting anti-money laundering activities. Money laundering is an illegal activity that undermines the moral and financial stability of the countries we do business with.

In addition, Intermex is in full compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and the Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994. To be fully compliant with all federal and state regulations, Intermex created a Compliance and Bank Secrecy Act department, under the direction of an experienced Compliance Officer. This department is responsible for the compliance of all federal and state regulations, to prevent and discover fraudulent or illegal transactions, specifically but not limited to money laundering schemes.

Intermex is a non-bank financial institution regulated by the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service of the Federal Government and by the Department of Banking and Finance of the State of Florida, as well as by the Banking and Finance Division of those states where Intermex holds an operating license.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), an arm of the Department of the Treasury, is responsible for the registration process of all money transmitters, check cashers, currency exchangers, money orders and traveler’s checks businesses that are non-banking financial institutions under the umbrella of Money Service Businesses (MSB )

Intermex recognizes the importance of the BSA and Patriot Act and expends great effort to protect clients, agents and the company itself from those who would use remittance services to commit felonies, or launder money involved in illegal activities.

Intermex’ compliance systems and procedures are independently audited by Kroll and Associates, State regulatory agencies and partner banks compliance departments.  Intermex has established the industry benchmark in preventing illicit activity through it’s remittance system.
