Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC)

The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) is Canada's financial intelligence unit, a specialized agency created to collect, analyze and disclose financial information and intelligence on suspected money laundering and terrorist activities financing. Created in July 2000, the Centre is an integral part of Canada's engagement in the global fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities. The Centre was established by the Proceeds of crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA).

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.
