FinCEN special measure (active final rule) — US financial institutions prohibited from correspondent accounts / certain fund transmittals for this entity (31 U.S.C. § 5318A / FEND Off Fentanyl Act)
FinCEN 311 Active Measures catalogs 13 jurisdictions, financial institutions, and account types designated by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network as primary money laundering concerns, informing correspondent banking due diligence and enhanced monitoring programs.
FinCEN Section 311 & 9714 Special Measures identify financial institutions, jurisdictions, and classes of transactions designated as "primary money laundering concerns" under the USA PATRIOT Act (31 U.S.C. § 5318A), the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act (Section 9714), and the FEND OFF Fentanyl Act (Section 2313a). These designations impose the "Fifth Special Measure," which prohibits U.S. financial institutions from maintaining correspondent or payable-through accounts with the designated entities.
Currently designated entities include: Al-Huda Bank (Iraq), Bank of Dandong (China/DPRK), Bitzlato (Russia/crypto), CIBanco, Intercam and Vector Casa de Bolsa (Mexico), Commercial Bank of Syria, FBME Bank (Tanzania), Huione Group (Cambodia), and PM2BTC (crypto). Jurisdictions designated include Burma, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Proposed measures target Convertible Virtual Currency Mixing as a class of transactions.
These are among the most severe U.S. sanctions measures, effectively cutting off designated entities from the U.S. financial system. Financial institutions must implement these prohibitions immediately upon final rule publication. Official source: FinCEN Special Measures.
