Bank Compliance Monitor: Regulator Circulars

Regulator Circulars Monitor lists circulars and regulatory documents from six financial and cyber regulators: the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ), the Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), the US Federal Reserve (SR letters), the OCC (bulletins), the FDIC (financial institution letters) and FinCEN (AML advisories). It gives bank compliance teams one feed of regulatory updates in one schema. Each record gives the reference number, the title, the date, the document type, topic tags such as aml or cybersecurity, and links to the official page. Compliance teams and compliance AI agents use it to track new rules.

The Actor saves metadata and links only. It never copies the document text.

Empty fields and why:

• Central Bank of Jordan: about 35% of titles carry no reference number, and about 44% carry no issue date. The Actor leaves those fields empty. It does not guess.
• Central Bank of Jordan: the Arabic and English lists are separate. One circular can appear as two records, one per language.
• Central Bank of Jordan: links open the circulars list page. The bank has no page per circular.
• NCA: issueDate is empty. NCA shows a publish date (publishedAt). For many older documents this date is 2 June 2022, which looks like a site migration date.
• US regulators: pdfUrl and fileUrls are empty. Open pageUrl for the letter and its attachments.
• NCA: most documents have no reference code. referenceNumber is set only when the page shows one, such as ECC-2:2024.

Regulatory updates monitoring: how to use it

1. Run the Actor with the default input to see the newest 100 documents from all six regulators.
2. Pick Topics or Countries to narrow the feed. For example topic aml and country US.
3. Add keywords to keep only matching documents. For example stablecoin or غسل.
4. Narrow by date or type. Issued in the last (days), Issued from and Issued to use the issue date, else the publish date; documents with neither date are kept. Document types keeps types that contain your words, for example circular, advisory or SR letter. Filtered documents cost nothing.
5. Turn on Monitor mode and schedule the Actor daily. Each run then returns only documents it has not returned before.

The Actor reads each regulator in parallel and starts at most one request per second on each site. It keeps NCA document pages for 3 days in a key-value store named regulator-circulars-cache, so repeat runs read only new or older pages. New NCA documents have new pages, so they appear on the next run.

Compliance monitoring topics

Each record gets topic tags from plain keyword rules on the title, summary and category. English words match whole words. Arabic words match inside words. A document can have several topics, or none. Rules can miss or mis-tag a document, so treat tags as a first filter.

Topic	Covers
aml	Money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions, KYC, beneficial ownership
cybersecurity	Cybersecurity, information security, operational resilience, IT risk
capital	Capital, Basel, liquidity, stress tests
consumer	Consumer protection, complaints, fair lending, financial inclusion
payments	Payments, transfers, cards, cheques, clearing
digital-assets	Crypto, stablecoins, virtual assets, fintech, AI
fraud	Fraud and scams
credit	Loans, credit, mortgages, microfinance
governance	Governance, risk management, compliance, third-party risk
reporting	Call reports, reporting forms, financial statements
supervision	Supervision, examinations, enforcement, licensing, mergers
fx-exchange	Foreign exchange and money exchange companies
islamic	Islamic finance
climate	Climate, ESG, green finance

Regulator circulars input options

Option	Default	Meaning

Keywords	None	Keep only matching documents
Topics	None	Keep only documents tagged with one of these topics

Regulator circulars FAQ

Which regulators does it cover?

The Central Bank of Jordan, the Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority, the US Federal Reserve, the OCC, the FDIC and FinCEN. The table above shows what the Actor reads from each.

Why not SAMA, the UAE, Qatar or Bahrain central banks?

SAMA's rulebook blocks automated access in its robots.txt. The central banks of the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain require written permission to reuse their material. The Actor adds a regulator only when its site and terms allow it.

Does it download the full text of each circular?

No. It saves the title, reference number, dates and official links. Open pdfUrl or pageUrl to read the document on the regulator's site.

How do I get only new circulars?

Turn on Monitor mode and schedule the Actor daily. Each run then returns only documents it has not returned before. Use a different Monitor name (monitorName) for each watch list.

Can I filter by topic?

Yes. Pick Topics, such as aml or cybersecurity. For finer control add Keywords in English or Arabic, such as stablecoin, غسل or ECC. Keywords match the title, summary, reference number, type and category.

Can an AI agent use it?

Yes. Agents can find and run it through the Apify MCP server or the Apify API. All six regulators share one output schema.
