FinCEN Seeks Comments on Proposed Survey of the Costs of AML/CFT Compliance

Immediate Release

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on a proposed Survey of the Costs of Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Compliance. The proposed survey seeks to gather information on the direct compliance costs incurred by non-bank financial institutions (such as casinos and card clubs; money services businesses; insurance companies; dealers in precious metals, precious stones, or jewels; operators of credit card systems; and loan or finance companies) with AML/CFT compliance requirements and, to the extent these expenses overlap with those of other activities (such as fraud monitoring), the amount attributable to AML/CFT compliance. Responses will aid in understanding the financial impact of these regulations and will be used to shape deregulatory proposals consistent with the Executive Orders of the Trump Administration. Responses will not be used for supervisory or enforcement purposes. Written comments are welcome and must be received on or before December 1, 2025.
