Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Its main role is to combat financial crimes, such as money laundering and terrorism financing. FinCEN collects, analyzes, and shares financial information to help law enforcement and other agencies detect and prevent these crimes. It also sets regulations to ensure that financial institutions report suspicious activities and comply with anti-money laundering laws. By doing so, FinCEN plays a crucial role in protecting the financial system and promoting national security.
