The Financial Integrity for National Security Act (FINS Act) aims to combat financial crime by increasing regulatory oversight of wire transfer service providers like Western Union and MoneyGram. It amends existing law to include these providers under anti-money laundering regulations and the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring the Treasury Secretary to implement new rules within 180 days. This will help prevent the exploitation of these services by international criminal organizations for activities like human trafficking, drug trade, and terrorism. The new regulations will take effect one year after enactment of the Act.

It mandates retailers to disclose relationships with these countries and requires review and potential termination of existing agreements. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is directed to investigate and provide determinations on national security implications. The Act defines key terms to clarify the scope and enforcement of these provisions.
