FinCEN’s insignia reflects its distinct role in protecting the financial system from illicit activity,
combating money laundering and terrorist financing, and advancing national security by leveraging financial intelligence.
The design integrates key elements that symbolize our mission:
-
The globe signifies FinCEN’s global reach, authority, and responsibility in addressing financial threats across borders.
-
Binary code, spelling “FinCEN,” represents the vast financial data we analyze to help safeguard the economy,
protect communities, and ensure the integrity of the U.S. financial system.
-
The eagle, positioned at the center, stands for the strength, resolve, and unity of the American people,
and reflects FinCEN’s unwavering commitment to national protection.
-
The shield highlights our focus on national security and our role as a frontline defense against financial crimes.
-
The bank silhouette represents the complexity of the financial infrastructure we help regulate, oversee, and secure.
Together, these symbols illustrate FinCEN’s commitment to protecting the U.S. financial system and supporting a secure, transparent global economy.
