FINTRAC is a member of the Egmont Group
In June 2002, FINTRAC became a member of the
Egmont Group of Financial
Intelligence Units (FIUs) whose purpose is to enhance cooperation and
information exchange in support of member countries' anti-money laundering
and terrorist financing regimes. Currently comprised of FIUs from 101
countries, Egmont goals are to foster communication and improve the
exchange of information, intelligence and expertise among FIUs. Gaining
membership in Egmont represents an important milestone for FINTRAC. It
allows us to strengthen relationships with FIUs from around the globe and
will facilitate the establishment of bi-lateral information exchange
agreements that will assist domestic and global efforts to detect, deter
and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
