FinCEN is dedicated to strengthening global frameworks for the exchange of financial intelligence and supporting international partners in their efforts to develop and enforce systems to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes.
As part of its mission, FinCEN responds to requests from Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) that are members of the Egmont Group, and serves as a liaison between domestic law enforcement agencies and foreign FIUs. Additionally, FinCEN produces strategic reports for both law enforcement and FIUs on subjects of international importance.
FinCEN collaborates with foreign governments to provide policy guidance, technical expertise, analytical training, and staffing support, helping to advance the implementation of robust anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) frameworks worldwide. By supporting U.S. bilateral and multilateral initiatives, FinCEN contributes to global efforts aimed at fighting transnational crime in a coordinated and effective manner.
