On October 14, 2025, the OFAC and FinCEN, in close coordination with the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO), took complementary actions against criminal networks responsible for targeting citizens of the United States and other allied nations through online scams and the laundering of stolen funds. OFAC has sanctioned 146 targets within the Prince Group Transnational Criminal Organization, a Cambodia-based network led by Chen Zhi, known for online investment scams targeting Americans and others globally.

On October 9, 2025, FinCEN issued answers to four Frequently Asked Questions to clarify certain requirements related to suspicious activity reports (SARs). The FAQs were issued jointly with the Board, the FDIC, the NCUA, and the OCC.

On October 9, 2025, FinCEN renewed its Geographic Targeting Orders (GTOs) that require US title insurance companies to identify natural persons behind shell companies used in non-financed purchases of residential real estate. The terms of the GTOs are effective beginning October 10, 2025.

On September 30, 2025, FinCEN issued a notice and request for comments on the proposed renewal, without change, of existing information collection requirements found in BSA regulations concerning information sharing between government agencies and financial institutions. 

On September 30, 2025, FinCEN announced that it will postpone reporting requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Residential Real Estate Transfers Rule (RRE Rule) until March 1, 2026. FinCEN stated that this is to provide industry with more time to comply while still adequately protecting the U.S. financial system from money laundering, terrorist financing, and other serious illicit finance threats.
