FinCEN Alert on Bulk Cash Smuggling and Repatriation by Mexico-Based Transnational Criminal Organizations
FinCEN requests that financial institutions reference alert FIN-2025-Alert001 in Suspicious Activity Report field 2 and field 36(z) using the key terms "FIN-2025-BULKCASH" and "BULKCASH". The alert outlines typologies where Mexico-based transnational criminal organizations smuggle bulk cash into Mexico and repatriate it to the U.S. via armored car services and air transport to launder illicit proceeds. It provides specific red flag indicators for depository institutions and armored car services to detect these cross-border movements and reminds institutions of their reporting obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act.
