FinCEN — Financial Crimes Enforcement Network

Parent: U.S. Department of the Treasury. Domains in this note: fincen.gov.

What they regulate

FinCEN administers Bank Secrecy Act rules and related AML programs, including money services business (MSB) registration. FinCEN registration is not SEC/FINRA broker-dealer registration, not a state insurance producer licence, and not FMCSA authority. Crypto/MSB and FX desks should still verify the correct primary registers. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. FinCEN home — BSA/AML administration and MSB registration context — not an SEC broker-dealer license.
  2. MSB / BSA resources — Confirm MSB registration and AML obligations on FinCEN tools; securities still need SEC/FINRA.

No. MSB registration under BSA rules is separate from SEC/FINRA broker-dealer or investment-adviser registration.

Does FinCEN licence freight brokers?

No. Property freight brokerage authority is an FMCSA path.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
