Our company has been using Chesapeake Compliance Consultants, LLC to conduct the Independent review for the past three years.  The reviews were conducted by the president of Chesapeake Compliance Consultants,  Mr. Neil Goldstein.

The way he handled the review showed excellent experience and knowledge, He is friendly, easy to deal with and above of all he will answer any question related to the MSB or/and banking issues.  As a result, we highly recommend to any MSB to seek his company’s assistance when needed.

We have been using Chesapeake Compliance Consultants for the past several years for our independent review required by The Bank Secrecy Act and have been completely satisfied. Neil is very knowledgeable about the MSB Industry and Anti-Money Laundering Policies and Procedures. He is very helpful and thorough in his review. One thing I liked was the recommendation section of the review, it is here that Neil gives his expert advice on how to make your policies and procedures more efficient and effective. Our tellers are better prepared in helping our customers and have better knowledge of the Anti Money Laundering Policies and Procedures and reporting requirements because of Neil. I find our experiences with Neil to always be pleasant and professional. I would highly recommend Chesapeake Compliance Consultants.

Charlie Wards Inc

I have been in the check cashing business for 30 years and serve as the compliance officer for my company.  Neil Goldstein, of Chesapeake Compliance, has always been able to answer any of my questions regarding compliance issues or provide me with the correct interpretation of regulations.  He saved me much frustration in assisting me in transitioning my state check cashing license to the NMLS system, as the state was requiring, and proved proficient with the process. He also helped develop a procedure for me to monitor transactions to ensure I’m in compliance with regulations.  It’s nice to have a compliance resource who is so experienced in the check cashing business.

I had an audit by the IRS for my Money Service Business and passed with flying colors.  I owe this good report to Neil Goldstein of Chesapeake Compliance.  Neil’s excellent independent review provided my the information and insight to make my compliance program strong.  I have confidence I can pass any examination whether its government, my bank or one of my vendors.
