Providing voluntary information about suspicions of money laundering or of the financing of terrorist activities.

FINTRAC is only able to receive voluntary information from the public about suspicions of money laundering or of the financing of terrorist activities.

It is important that voluntary information providers give as much information as possible concerning their suspicions, including the identifying information on the person(s) or organization(s) that may be involved in the suspicious activities.

You can provide your name and/or other personal identifying information if you wish to do so. Names and other personal identifiers of voluntary information providers are protected under privacy legislation, however, FINTRAC may, in rare circumstances, have to disclose this information under a production order or certain other compulsory processes.

FINTRAC will make the determination as to whether the voluntary information will be provided to law enforcement. If you believe that the information you provide is serious and requires an immediate law enforcement response, then you may also wish to provide this information directly to your local law enforcement agency.

There are a variety of methods to provide voluntary information about suspicions of money laundering or of the financing of terrorist activities.
