Under Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) rules, a financial institution managing blocked funds:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

OFAC regulations require that blocked funds must be placed into an interest-bearing account, held separately, and reported to OFAC. This does not require preauthorization from OFAC.

However, no debits or credits may occur without OFAC authorization, including:

* settling standing bills or checks (A),

* charging interest or loan/corporate card fees (C),

* deducting credit-card service charges (B).

Only OFAC can authorize movement or use of blocked property.


OFAC blocked property rules for interest-bearing retention.

Prohibition on debits, credits, and unauthorized transactions involving blocked funds.

C is tricky. Charging interest without a license? Not safe.

Wait, so I can't use my blocked credit card? That's just cruel. I'm going with C.

C is the way to go. Gotta keep that interest rolling in, even on a frozen account!

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. No deductions from a blocked account without OFAC approval.

I thought that funds in a blocked account couldn't just be placed in an interest-bearing account without OFAC's approval, but I need to double-check that.

I feel like charging interest from a frozen account might require some sort of OFAC license, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think I came across a similar question about service charges on frozen accounts, and it seemed like they were generally prohibited.

I remember studying that OFAC has strict rules about managing blocked funds, but I'm not sure if they allow debiting for standing checks.

B seems like the safest bet here. The question is specifically asking about prohibited actions, so that's likely the correct answer.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is B. The question clearly states that the financial institution is "strictly prohibited" from deducting service charges.

Hmm, this seems tricky. I'll need to carefully review the OFAC rules to determine the right approach.
