FinCen - Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
- Coordination with Federal Government and International Partners
- In addition to our work with insurance consumers within our own states, state insurance
regulators collaborate with our federal and international colleagues to address insurance
antifraud issues. State insurance regulators work with the U.S. Department of Treasury and other
financial regulators on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) initiatives as well as initiatives to combat
the financing of terrorism (CFT), which can involve permanent life insurance, annuities, and
other products with cash value or investment features. While the Treasury Department’s
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen) has primary responsibility in this arena, state
regulators coordinate with FinCen and monitor insurer activities to make sure they are not
engaging in these activities and are not susceptible to those acts. To cooperate and facilitate the
sharing of information, state insurance departments and FinCen have established Memorandums
of Understanding and insurance regulators notify appropriate federal regulators if an insurer is
not in compliance with AML/CFT requirements.
