FinCEN’s mission is to safeguard the financial system from illicit use and combat money laundering and promote national security through the collection,
analysis, and dissemination of financial intelligence and strategic use of financial authorities.
REMINDER: As of April 1, 2013, financial institutions must use the new FinCEN reports, which are available only electronically through the BSA E-Filing System. FinCEN is no longer accepting legacy reports. For more information, click here.
In May 2010, FinCEN began efforts to modernize its information technology (IT) infrastructure to improve the collection, analysis, and sharing of FinCEN data. The list below of frequently asked questions and answers provides details on the program.
