Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN)

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a U.S. government agency that helps combat money laundering and other financial crimes. It collects and analyzes information about suspicious financial activities to detect and prevent illegal actions like fraud, drug trafficking, and terrorism financing. FinCEN works with banks and other financial institutions to ensure they report any unusual transactions. By promoting transparency and cooperation, it helps protect the financial system from abuse and supports law enforcement in criminal investigations.
