Summary of FinCEN’s AML/CFT Program Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
On June 28, 2024, the United States Department of the Treasury’s (the U.S. Treasury) Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (the NPRM) intended to strengthen and modernize financial institutions’ anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) programs, consistent with the broad goals of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML Act). The NPRM would amend existing regulations to expressly require that AML/CFT programs be effective, risk-based, and reasonably designed, enabling financial institutions to focus their resources and attention in a manner consistent with their risk profiles. The NPRM’s proposed amendments are based on changes enacted by the AML Act, which are a key component of the U.S. Treasury’s objective of a more effective and risk-based AML/CFT regulatory and supervisory regime.

It also applies to organizations that monitor the behavior of data subjects online.
