The Coming Hemp Crackdown: What Financial Institutions Must Do Now

About the event

The Coming Hemp Crackdown: What Financial Institutions Must Do Now Complimentary Webinar | Presented by CAFC

A federal reclassification of intoxicating hemp products takes effect November 12, 2026 — and most financial institutions aren’t ready.

The 2018 Farm Bill created a national market for hemp-derived cannabinoid products by defining hemp as cannabis with ≤0.3% Delta-9 THC. It said nothing about Delta-8, synthetic cannabinoids, or conversion products. That loophole is now closing. The November 12 Appropriations Bill narrows the definition of hemp in ways that will effectively reclassify most intoxicating hemp-derived products as Schedule I substances — subjecting them to the same federal framework as marijuana-related businesses.

For financial institutions currently banking hemp accounts, the implications are immediate and far-reaching.

Join CAFC for this complimentary 60-minute briefing as the industry’s leading experts walk through what’s changing, what’s at risk, and the concrete steps your institution should be taking right now.

What We’ll Cover

The legislative landscape: what the ban does, what could still change, and how to plan for multiple outcomes
BSA/AML risk reassessment: how to reclassify hemp accounts and what that means for your risk tier structure
CDD and EDD: auditing your portfolio and identifying intoxicating hemp exposure before the deadline
SAR strategy: pre- and post-effective date filing frameworks, rolling SAR considerations, and interstate exposure
Credit and collateral risk: loan covenant review, inventory risk, and UCC enforceability concerns
A practical 90-day action plan your team can begin implementing today

He has served as a financial regulatory attorney, General Counsel, Chief Risk Officer, and BSA Officer at a financial institution — and was working directly with banks on cannabis compliance when the landmark 2014 FinCEN guidance was issued. He knows this space from every angle: regulator, executive, and attorney.

The New Frontier: Governing AI in AML Without Guidance
2026-04-29 12:00 - 13:00 UTC | NY
Event Description

Introducing The New Frontier: Governing AI in AML Without Guidance.

Regulators have stepped back. Historical model risk management guidance was just rescinded. Prescriptive expectations are giving way to principles. The burden now falls on financial institutions to define, adapt, and own their MRM frameworks based on their own specific set of risks.

At the same time, the updated guidance is notably silent on generative AI and agentic AI, despite many institutions already deploying or actively exploring these technologies in AML and fraud workflows. An RFI is coming. Eventual guidance is coming. But it is not here yet. That creates both risk and opportunity.

Not every institution has the internal expertise to navigate this shift. Some, particularly smaller or resource-constrained organizations, will likely pause and wait for clearer regulatory direction. Others with more mature capabilities may move forward, doing their best to build sound governance, controls, and oversight around these models in real time. In the absence of guidance, something becomes better than nothing.

This is a moment. There is clear demand for practical, experience-based direction, and institutions are actively looking for it. Not theory, not frameworks built for a different era, but honest conversation about what institutions are actually doing, what’s holding up, and where the cracks are forming. That’s exactly the conversation we’re having at the Coalition Against Financial Crime (CAFC), and we’re not going to wait until September to bring it to you.
