Executive Order 14406

Restoring Integrity to America's Financial System

This executive order directs financial regulators to tighten anti-money-laundering controls and credit underwriting standards by targeting risks associated with non-work-authorized immigrants and their employers. It mandates Treasury to issue an advisory on suspicious activity patterns, propose Bank Secrecy Act regulatory changes, and directs the CFPB and banking regulators to factor immigration status and deportation risk into ability-to-repay and credit risk assessments.
