Transactions that carry higher risk require more careful review, and the term for that group is risky transactions. This label signals that these transactions trigger enhanced due diligence and more stringent monitoring because they present greater potential AML/CTF risk. In a risk-based compliance approach, all customers undergo some level of due diligence, but only those transactions flagged as risky—due to patterns, counterparties, geography, size, or behavior—receive escalated scrutiny, additional documentation, and possibly escalation or reporting.

The other options refer to processes or systems rather than a category of transactions. Customer due diligence is the baseline process for understanding who the customer is; an Interim Final Rule is a regulatory action, not a category of transactions; and an electronic OFAC reporting system relates to sanctions screening and reporting, not the grouping of transactions that need heightened review.
