The Federal Service for Financial Monitoring

What The Federal Service for Financial Monitoring does

The Federal Service for Financial Monitoring (Rosfinmonitoring) is a federal executive body of the Russian Federation, established in 2001, that functions as the country's statutory Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) under Federal Law No. 115-FZ. It is responsible for combating the legalization of criminally obtained incomes, countering terrorist financing, and countering the financing of weapons of mass destruction proliferation, while also increasing transparency in public finance. The agency's core mandate is to receive, analyze, and disseminate financial intelligence to law enforcement and supervisory authorities, conduct national risk assessments, and maintain the unified register of organizations under AML/CFT supervision.

Rosfinmonitoring's product surface centers on the Personal Account digital portal (portal.fedsfm.ru), through which regulated entities submit mandatory AML/CFT reports, verify registration status, and access consolidated terrorist and extremist lists compiled pursuant to UN Security Council resolutions. Supporting systems include the Transparent Blockchain government and educational modules applying distributed-ledger technology to enhance transparency, official databases of terrorist- and extremism-associated individuals and organizations, and a Compliance Council advisory network with regional chapters. Educational and international cooperation products include the International Olympiad on Financial Security, the Financial Security journal (50 issues published as of July 2026), the International Training and Methodological Center for Financial Monitoring (MUMCFM), and the International Network Institute in the field of AML/CFT.

The agency operates from its Moscow headquarters (ul. Vozdvizhenka 8/1) and ten interregional directorates covering all federal districts of Russia, including a newly established directorate for the DPR, LNR, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions. Operations are funded through the federal budget of the Russian Federation — there is no commercial pricing. The agency is a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, and the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (EAG), and coordinates Russia's preparation for the FATF 5th round of mutual evaluations. The Interagency Commission on AML/CFT matters, chaired by the Director, brings together relevant ministries and agencies to coordinate national policy implementation.
