On November 28, FinCEN issued an alert as part of Treasury’s efforts to combat exploitation of the U.S. financial system by individuals without legal status seeking to remit potentially illicit funds. The alert, consistent with Executive Order 14159, urged money services businesses to be vigilant in “detecting, identifying, and reporting suspicious activity” related to cross-border funds transfers involving individuals without legal status in the U.S. FinCEN specifically requested that financial institutions use the suspicious activity report (SAR) key term “FIN-2025-Alert003” in SAR field 2 (“Filing Institutions Note to FinCEN”) and the narrative when filing reports of possible violations.
