Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN)

An activity of the Department of the Treasury (TREAS DEPT) that supports law enforcement investigative efforts and fosters interagency and global cooperation against domestic and international financial crimes. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN) provides United States (U.S.) policymakers with strategic analyses of domestic and worldwide money laundering developments, trends, and patterns. The FINCEN works toward those ends through information collection, analysis, and sharing, as well as technological assistance and implementation of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and other TREAS DEPT authorities.
