Summary
The private sector, including but not limited to banks, plays a vital role in countering the financing of terrorism. The success of the private sector has been uneven when it comes to countering the financing of terrorism. In some cases, this has resulted in groups gaining access to funds in furtherance of their objectives. The chapter also points to the importance of true collaboration between the public and private sectors in combatting the financing of terrorism.
