The U.S. Federal Reserve announced Monday that it has finalized the factors the Reserve Bank should consider when reviewing applications for Federal Reserve payment accounts and services. The guidance creates a three-tiered review framework that provides a level of due diligence based on an applicant's level of risk.

The guidance was first proposed in May 2021, with a companion proposal published in March, and the final guidance, which will take effect after publication in the Federal Register, is "substantially similar" to them. The Fed said in a statement:

"Institutions involved in new activities and for which authorities are still developing appropriate regulatory and supervisory frameworks will be subject to heightened scrutiny."
