The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the United States Department of the Treasury has issued an advisory regarding all financial transactions into or out of Antigua and Barbuda.
The advisory states that revisions to Antigua and Barbuda anti-money laundering rules and regulations may weaken the government's ability to effectively supervise this area. In addition, the supervision of the offshore banking sector has been transferred to the new International Financial Sector Authority, whose management includes representatives of the institutions supervised by the Authority. Please see the attached FinCEN Advisory: Issue 11.
Any information which you may have concerning this matter should be brought to the attention of:
