Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office (STRO), Commercial Affairs Department

The Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office (STRO) is Singapore's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). It acts as a central agency in Singapore for receiving, analysing and disseminating reports of suspicious transactions, known as Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs). Under Section 39 of the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act (CDSA), it is mandatory for any person to lodge an STR if he has "reason to suspect" that any property is connected to criminal activity. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.

The STRO is authorized to share information that obtains from suspicious transactions reports with its foreign counterparts by signing a memorandum of understanding. This information sharing is guided by the principles of reciprocity and confidentiality.

STRO is a member of the Egmond Group.
