Financial industry veteran and former IRS Special Agent will strengthen BSA/AML processes, further Bank’s commitment to risk management

Customers Bank, the $22 billion asset subsidiary of Customers Bancorp (NYSE: CUBI), has appointed Allen Love as Chief Compliance and AML Officer. In this role, Love will be responsible for leading the Bank’s enterprise-wide compliance program, ensuring it continues to evolve as regulatory expectations increase.

Love will immediately begin work on strengthening Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) protocols for the company’s digital asset business in support of the Bank’s recent agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

He is a former Special Agent with the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CID) and has an extensive background in Financial Crimes Risk Management. As a financial industry veteran in top compliance roles, Love has also performed reviews that resulted in the implementation of procedures that enhanced BSA/AML and fraud control environments at institutions across the U.S.
