What changed

FinCEN changed the comment timeline for an existing proposed rule involving Huione Group.

Most nonbank financial firms will treat this as a monitoring item unless they have direct exposure to the entities or typologies covered by the proposal. Firms with sanctions, AML, or cross-border payment exposure may want to review the proposal and submit comments if affected.
