Investopedia explains 'Concentration Account'

Concentration accounts have been under scrutiny by U.S. authorities due to the possibility of money laundering. For example, it may be difficult to trace the money trail if funds are being collected in one central source and if customer-identifying information is being separated from the transaction - this may open the door for abuse.
