财政部提议切断瑞士银行 MBaer 进入美国金融体系的规则
2026 年 2 月 26 日
MBaer 向伊朗和俄罗斯提供财政支持
华盛顿——今天，美国财政部金融犯罪执法网络 (FinCEN) 提出了一项规则，如果最终确定，将切断 MBaer Merchant Bank AG (MBaer’s) 进入美国金融系统的权限，因为该银行向与俄罗斯和伊朗有关的非法行为者提供金融支持。如果最终确定，拟议规则将禁止所涵盖的美国金融机构为 MBaer 或代表 MBaer 开设或维持代理账户。
美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特 (Scott Bessent) 表示：“MBaer 代表与伊朗和俄罗斯有关的非法行为者通过美国金融体系输送了超过一亿美元。” “银行应该注意到，美国财政部将利用我们当局的全部力量积极保护美国金融体系的完整性。”
自成立以来，MBaer 及其员工为洗钱和非法金融活动提供了便利，包括促进与俄罗斯洗钱有关的腐败行为以及代表与伊朗结盟的外国恐怖组织（包括伊斯兰革命卫队及其圣城军）进行洗钱和恐怖主义融资。 MBaer 是各种非法行为者获取美元的关键接入节点，使美国国家安全面临风险并破坏美国金融体系的完整性。
根据《美国爱国者法案》第 311 条，FinCEN 在发现有合理理由断定在美国境外运营的金融机构存在主要洗钱问题时，可能会要求所涵盖的金融机构采取某些“特别措施”。今天，FinCEN 发布了拟议规则制定通知 (NPRM)，阐述了这一发现，并提议实施第五项特别措施，该措施将禁止所涉国内金融机构为 MBaer 或代表 MBaer 开设或维持代理账户。关于 NPRM 的书面评论可以在联邦公报发布后 30 天内提交。
举报计划
FinCEN 针对违反《银行保密法》以及某些制裁和国家安全法的行为制定了举报奖励计划。如果提供可采取行动的信息的个人的举报导致成功的执法行动，则可能有资格获得奖励。 FinCEN 鼓励拥有相关信息的个人提交举报提示，并在其网站上了解有关 FinCEN 举报计划的更多信息：https://www.fincen.gov/whistleblower-program 。

Treasury Proposes Rule to Sever Swiss Bank MBaer’s Access to U.S. Financial System
February 26, 2026
MBaer Provides Financial Support to Iran and Russia
WASHINGTON —Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) proposed a rule that, if finalized, would sever MBaer Merchant Bank AG (MBaer’s) access to the U.S. financial system as a result of its financial support to illicit actors linked to Russia and Iran. If finalized, the proposed rule would prohibit covered U.S. financial institutions from opening or maintaining a correspondent account for, or on behalf of, MBaer.
“MBaer has funneled over a hundred million dollars through the U.S. financial system on behalf of illicit actors tied to Iran and Russia,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent . “Banks should be on notice that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively protect the integrity of the U.S. financial system using the full force of our authorities.”
Since its inception, MBaer and its employees have enabled money laundering and illicit finance activities, including by facilitating corruption linked to Russian money laundering and money laundering and terrorist financing on behalf of Iran-aligned foreign terrorist organizations, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its Quds Force. MBaer is a critical access node to the U.S. dollar for a wide variety of illicit actors, putting U.S. national security at risk and undermining the integrity of the U.S. financial system.
Under section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, FinCEN, upon finding that reasonable grounds exist for concluding that a financial institution operating outside of the United States is of primary money laundering concern, may require covered financial institutions to take certain “special measures.” Today, FinCEN published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) setting out this finding and proposing to impose special measure five, which would prohibit covered domestic financial institutions from opening or maintaining a correspondent account for or on behalf of MBaer. Written comments on the NPRM may be submitted within 30 days of its publication in the Federal Register.
Whistleblower Program
FinCEN maintains a whistleblower incentive program for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and certain sanctions and national security laws. Individuals who provide actionable information may be eligible for awards if their tip leads to a successful enforcement action. FinCEN encourages individuals with relevant information to submit whistleblower tips and learn more about FinCEN’s Whistleblower Program on its website: https://www.fincen.gov/whistleblower-program .
