Contact Congress about S. 3441: Terrorist Financing Prevention Act of 2023

Foreign banks and digital asset services could lose access to U.S. financial systems if they knowingly help certain terrorist groups move money. Treasury would get broader tools to block risky fund transfers and enforce counter-terror finance rules.

Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Terrorist Financing Prevention Act of 2023 is a Senate bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects foreign banks, foreign digital asset businesses, and U.S. financial firms that deal with cross-border payments. It could also affect customers who rely on those services if Treasury identifies a foreign business or payment channel as tied to terrorist financing or serious money laundering risk.

Why this matters: Terrorist groups can use banks, payment systems, and digital assets to move money across borders. This bill would give the U.S. stronger tools to cut off foreign businesses that knowingly help that happen. It could make enforcement more consistent and push foreign institutions to avoid terrorist financing risks. It could also raise costs or create disruption for lawful customers if the rules reach broadly used payment channels.

Key provisions in S. 3441

• Treasury must find foreign banks and foreign digital asset facilitators that knowingly help covered terrorist groups or related sanctioned people move major amounts of money. Treasury must do this within 60 days after the bill becomes law and keep checking after that.
• The President must block or tightly limit certain U.S. accounts for any foreign bank Treasury identifies. These are correspondent and payable-through accounts, which foreign banks use to reach the U.S. banking system.
• The President must block all transactions between U.S. persons and any foreign digital asset facilitator Treasury identifies.
• The bill uses enforcement tools from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. People who break rules issued under this bill could face civil or criminal penalties.
• The government may give classified evidence to a judge privately when sanctions are challenged in court. The bill also says it does not create a new right to court review.
