April 15, 2026
Since its inception in 2015, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) Rapid Response Program (RRP) has facilitated the interdiction of $1.8 billion and the recovery of over $1 billion in stolen proceeds on behalf of 5,790 U.S. victims. RRP is a partnership between FinCEN, U.S. law enforcement, and foreign partners working together to help victims and their financial institutions recover stolen funds sent abroad as the result of cyber-enabled fraud. As the financial intelligence unit (FIU) of the United States, FinCEN uses its authority to share financial intelligence rapidly with counterpart FIUs and encourages foreign authorities to stop and repatriate the fraudulent transactions using authorities under their respective legal and regulatory frameworks. To date, the RRP has confronted cyber threats involving 96 foreign jurisdictions. RRP’S IMPACT SINCE JANUARY 20, 2025 More than $268.2 million in stolen funds interdicted and $157.3 million recovered on behalf of U.S. victims. Phone Scams $33.9 million interdicted Business E-mail Compromise $120.5 million interdicted Investment Fraud $40.2 million interdicted Activating the RRP Once law enforcement refers a victim’s complaint involving a foreign beneficiary account to FinCEN, the RRP will contact the foreign FIU to encourage the interdiction and repatriation of the stolen funds and will work with the foreign FIU to provide status updates, financial intelligence, and procedural information to law enforcement. The victim or their financial institution must file a complaint with law enforcement. Law enforcement reviews the complaint and refers the case to FinCEN, activating the RRP. RRP shares the financial intelligence with the foreign FIU in an attempt to recover the proceeds and provides information back to law enforcement. Are you a victim of a cyber-related fraud? TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! A victim should immediately contact their financial institution to report fraudulent activity and request assistance. Please do not contact FinCEN directly. A victim or their financial institution should file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) (www.IC3.gov) and/or contact the nearest USSS field office (www. secretservice.gov/contact/field-offices).
