FINTRAC at a glance

FINTRAC is Canada's Financial Intelligence Unit. We assist in the detection, prevention and deterrence of money laundering and terrorist activity financing.

The nature of our work is rapidly evolving to keep pace with ground-breaking technological advances, the globalization of financial products and services, and the increasing sophistication of national and international criminal and terrorist organizations. By ensuring a robust regulatory compliance regime and the timely production of actionable financial intelligence, we play an integral role in the global fight against organized crime groups, cybercriminals, human traffickers, terrorist organizations and others who would seek to undermine or abuse Canada's financial system.
