About the UN–FinCEN International Victim Compensation Commission (UNFIVCC)

UN–FinCEN International Victim Compensation Commission (UNFIVCC).

UNFIVCC is an international commission established to support victims of financial crime through victim assistance, public awareness, international cooperation, and the administration of compensation initiatives in accordance with applicable legal authorities and approved compensation programs.

Financial crimes continue to affect millions of individuals, businesses, and communities worldwide, often resulting in devastating financial losses and emotional hardship. These crimes frequently involve sophisticated cross-border networks that require coordinated international responses. UNFIVCC was established to help address these challenges by providing a centralized platform where victims can access information, report financial crimes, seek assistance, and, where applicable, participate in eligible compensation programs.

The Commission is committed to promoting transparency, accountability, professionalism, and fairness while working alongside relevant authorities and stakeholders to strengthen global efforts against financial crime.

Who We Are

UNFIVCC is dedicated to advancing victim-centered approaches to combating financial crime by fostering collaboration, encouraging public awareness, and supporting lawful compensation initiatives derived from recovered assets where legally authorized.

Our work focuses on creating accessible services that help victims navigate complex reporting and compensation processes while promoting confidence in international efforts to combat financial crime.

We strive to serve as a trusted resource by providing:

  • Victim assistance and guidance
  • Financial crime reporting services
  • Compensation program information
  • Public education and fraud prevention resources
  • Secure online claim and reporting systems
  • Transparency throughout the application and review process

Every initiative undertaken by the Commission is guided by the principles of integrity, impartiality, accountability, confidentiality, and respect for those affected by financial crime.

Why the Commission Was Established

Financial crime has become increasingly sophisticated, crossing international borders and impacting victims regardless of nationality or location. Fraud schemes, cyber-enabled financial crimes, investment scams, identity theft, business email compromise, online banking fraud, cryptocurrency-related fraud, and other forms of financial exploitation continue to evolve, creating significant challenges for victims and enforcement authorities alike.
Many victims face uncertainty after experiencing financial loss. They often struggle to identify reliable sources of information, understand reporting procedures, or determine whether compensation opportunities exist under applicable legal processes.
UNFIVCC was established to help address these challenges by providing a centralized platform that supports victims through education, reporting services, and access to information about compensation initiatives where available.
The Commission seeks to contribute to a coordinated international response by encouraging collaboration among governments, law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, financial institutions, and other relevant stakeholders to strengthen efforts against financial crime and improve outcomes for victims.
