Title: ●Consideration of Principals and Agents Within the Regulation of Money Services Businesses; Revision of Registration Requirements 
Abstract: The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), is reviewing the regulations implementing the Bank Secrecy Act regarding money services businesses (MSBs) with a focus on enhancing its efficiency and effectiveness for the industry, regulators, law enforcement, and FinCEN in safeguarding the U.S. financial system from the abuses of terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crime. Our goal is to revise the MSB rules to reduce the number of entities defined as MSBs so that regulatory requirements are applied to those entities that are in the best position to ensure compliance.
