The Terrorist Financing Targeting Center (TFTC) is a multilateral body created to strengthen cooperation among seven countries -Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the United States -to disrupt terrorist financing networks and related activities of mutual concern.

Based on the "Memorandum of Understanding on Countering the Financing of Terrorism" signed on May 21, 2017, the TFTC aims to counter terrorist financing networks through three lines of effort:

  1. identifying, tracking, and sharing information about terrorist financing networks and related activities of mutual concern:
  2. coordinating joint disruptive actions including sanctions designations and spurring law enforcement action: and
  3. offering capacity-building assistance to counter the financing of terrorism and related risks.
