International Programs

FinCEN's International Programs Division works to establish and strengthen mechanisms for the exchange of information globally, and to engage, encourage, and support international partners in taking necessary steps to construct regimes to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. The International Programs Division responds to requests from Egmont Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), as well as acts as a conduit for requests from domestic law enforcement to foreign FIUs. Strategic products on topics of international interest are also produced.

FinCEN offers a wide array of technical assistance to foreign governments, providing policy recommendations and guidance, analytical training, technological advice, and staff support in order to foster the implementation of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regimes worldwide. FinCEN supports U.S. bilateral and multilateral efforts to join with other nations in a concerted fashion to combat transnational crime.
