U.S. regulators are ramping up enforcement against money services businesses operating near the southwest border, targeting illicit financial flows tied to criminal organizations and human trafficking networks. The comprehensive examination aims to strengthen oversight of cross-border fund transfers and block channels used for cartel-related money laundering. This intensified scrutiny reflects growing focus on compliance within the financial services sector, particularly for businesses handling high volumes of international transactions. The crackdown signals stricter monitoring of remittance services, alternative payment systems, and digital money transfer platforms that operate in high-risk border regions.
