Compliance Prompt for FinCEN Section 311 Foreign Correspondent Screening
This **Luna** review prompt takes your foreign correspondent wire clearing logs and a **FinCEN Section 311** special-measure proposal, then turns the notice into live screening logic. Luna, the deepidv compliance overseer, reads your **USA PATRIOT Act** correspondent banking exposure, returns a **Section 311 exposure map** that traces every direct, indirect, and **nested transaction** touching the targeted foreign entity account, a **screening-filter configuration** that flags cover payments and intermediary hops the primary sanctions notice reaches, a due-diligence gap list rated against the special measure, and a recordkeeping spec for a supervisory inquiry. Built for BSA officers and correspondent-banking compliance leads at fintechs and banks who must prove they can intercept **indirect wire transfers** through a designated jurisdiction, not just block the named account.
How to use this prompt
- 1
Open Luna in the deepidv dashboard and paste the full prompt, or run it in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini if you are drafting the Section 311 screening design outside the platform.
- 2
Replace the INPUT section with your foreign correspondent wire clearing logs, the FinCEN Section 311 notice or proposal you are working from, the screening filters each rail runs today, and your correspondent-banking risk rules.
- 3
Run the prompt and read the Section 311 exposure map first: it traces every direct, indirect, and nested path that touches the targeted foreign entity account.
- 4
Hand the screening-filter configuration to your transaction-monitoring engineer and route the due-diligence gap list to your BSA officer; start with any nested path rated uncovered.
- 5
Re-run the prompt when FinCEN amends or finalizes the special measure and after each correspondent onboarding so the filters stay aligned before your next BSA examination.
The prompt
Luna, evaluate our foreign correspondent wire clearing logs against FinCEN's USA PATRIOT Act Section 311 proposal regarding the designated foreign entity. Configure automated screening filters to identify indirect wire transfers and nested transactions involving the targeted foreign entity account. ROLE You are Luna, the deepidv compliance overseer. You read a FinCEN Section 311 special-measure notice, trace a firm's correspondent-banking exposure to the designated entity across direct, indirect, and nested paths, and configure the screening filters that enforce the measure at the clearing rail. CONTEXT Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act lets FinCEN name a foreign entity or jurisdiction a primary money laundering concern and impose a special measure on correspondent accounts. Evasion moves through nested correspondents, intermediary banks, and cover payments so the designated entity never appears on the direct leg. A named-account block alone does not stop it. Enforcement depends on parsing SWIFT intermediary fields, resolving nested correspondents, and flagging the indirect hop inside a sub-150ms decision budget before the wire clears. INPUT, the user will paste: - The foreign correspondent wire clearing logs and the message types each rail carries (MT103, cover MT202, and equivalents) - The FinCEN Section 311 notice or proposal, with the designated entity or jurisdiction and any effective date - The screening filters and sanctions checks each rail runs today, and where in the flow they sit - The correspondent-banking risk rules and hold thresholds currently wired - Any open interpretive questions about cover payments or nested correspondents the compliance team is tracking TASKS 1. Map the firm's exposure to the designated entity across the wire clearing logs, separating direct legs from indirect and nested paths. 2. Configure automated screening filters that flag indirect wire transfers and nested transactions touching the targeted account, including cover-payment and intermediary-field parsing. 3. Rate the firm's current due diligence against the special measure and list the gaps. 4. Specify the recordkeeping and evidence retained per screened wire for a supervisory inquiry, inside the sub-150ms decision budget. OUTPUT FORMAT, return the following structured response: 1. SECTION 311 EXPOSURE MAP - Each path that touches the designated entity, rated direct, indirect, or nested, with the wire reference and the counterparty chain - The evasion pattern each indirect path exploits 2. SCREENING-FILTER CONFIGURATION - The filter placed at the clearing rail for each path, with the flag rule and the SWIFT fields it parses - Where the screening step sits in the flow, ahead of release, and its placement against the sub-150ms budget 3. DUE-DILIGENCE GAP LIST - Each special-measure obligation, rated covered, partial, or gap, with the evidence - The enhanced due-diligence step that closes each gap 4. RECORDKEEPING SPEC - The evidence bundle retained per screened or held wire, and the retention window - The escalation and SAR-referral routing when a designated-entity path is flagged Cite the Section 311 notice reference where you can. Where the wire logs or the notice are insufficient to confirm an exposure path, flag it as an open question instead of guessing.
Test it in Claude or another LLM
This prompt is built for the Luna agent inside deepidv, where Luna reads a firm's live foreign correspondent wire clearing logs against a FinCEN Section 311 notice and configures the screening filters that enforce it. You can dry-run the same workflow in any general LLM first with synthetic wire and notice data to see the exposure-map shape before pointing it at real systems.
- 1
Paste the full prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, but replace the opening 'Luna,' with a role instruction such as 'Act as a BSA and correspondent-banking compliance architect mapping foreign correspondent wire logs against a FinCEN Section 311 special measure.' Keep the four OUTPUT sections exactly as written.
- 2
Under the INPUT section, paste the synthetic sample block below so the model has wire clearing logs, a Section 311 notice reference, and current filters to evaluate.
- 3
Add one framing line: 'This is synthetic test data. Where an exposure path cannot be confirmed from the input, flag it as an open question instead of guessing, and never claim coverage the input does not support.'
- 4
Check the output shape: a Section 311 exposure map tracing direct, indirect, and nested paths, a screening-filter configuration with the flag rule for each path, a due-diligence gap list rated covered/partial/gap, and a recordkeeping spec. If any section invents a counterparty the input does not list, tighten the role line and re-run.
- 5
Once the output shape is right, run it live in the deepidv dashboard where Luna evaluates your real wire clearing logs and configures the screening filters.

FAQ
What is a Section 311 special measure?
Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act lets FinCEN designate a foreign entity or jurisdiction as a primary money laundering concern and impose special measures, including a prohibition or condition on correspondent accounts. A designation reaches indirect exposure too: payments that touch the targeted account through an intermediary or nested correspondent. This prompt maps your wire clearing logs to that exposure and configures the filters that enforce the measure.
Why screen for nested and indirect transfers, not just the named account?
A named-account block is easy to route around. Illicit flows move through a nested correspondent, a cover payment, or an intermediary bank so the targeted entity never appears on the direct leg. Luna traces those indirect paths across your clearing logs and configures screening that flags the hop, so a Section 311 measure holds against the evasion patterns it was written to stop.
Can I use this prompt outside the deepidv dashboard?
Yes. The structure works in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini as a Section 311 screening-design framework and returns the exposure map, filter configuration, gap list, and recordkeeping spec. Live screening against your real correspondent wire clearing logs only runs when it executes inside the deepidv dashboard through Luna.
