FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network)

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the US Department of the Treasury tasked with fighting money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes. FinCEN collects and analyzes financial intelligence, sharing it with a global network of regulators, financial institutions and law-enforcement agencies. All financial institutions must have anti-money laundering procedures in place, and report anything suspicious to FinCEN in the form of a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
