Financial Complex, Building No. 1, The Carenage, St. George's, Grenada, W.I.

    Welcome

    The Financial Intelligence Unit wishes to officially welcome you to our website. We view this as an extremely important venture, as we seek to provide an opportunity for Financial Institutions, Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) and other stakeholders to access pertinent information and updates on Trends, Typologies and other current issues relating to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing matters.
     
    This site is designed to be interactive and user friendly with supporting links to interface at different levels. It is our hope that this initiative will strengthen the existing platform for deeper collaboration and cooperation with our Local, Regional and International partners.
