Nature of the Apparent Violations

GEICO provided an automobile insurance policy without an OFAC license to an individual named as a Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker ("SDNTK") pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act. The apparent violations involved the receipt of two premium payments totaling $2,265, occurring on or about September 2006 to June 2007.

How OFAC Determined the Penalty

OFAC determined that GEICO did not voluntarily disclose this matter to OFAC and that the apparent violations constituted a non-egregious case. The base penalty for the two apparent violations was $11,000, which equals the settlement amount.

Compliance Takeaways

GEICO does not screen its existing policyholders database for SDNs as the SDN list is updated but only on an annual basis. GEICO has committed to making improvements to remedy this gap in its OFAC compliance program.
