FinCEN

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury. Its mission is to safeguard the financial system from the abuses of financial crime, including money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. FinCEN serves as the U.S. financial intelligence unit, supporting law enforcement investigations and fostering domestic and international cooperation.

FinCEN administers the Bank Secrecy Act and other regulatory functions to protect the integrity of the financial system. It provides strategic analysis of domestic and global financial trends and patterns to U.S. policymakers, while coordinating with partner agencies to combat national security threats and financial crime.
