The Government has engaged with the financial services sector on the review of the funding of Islamist extremism in the UK.

This includes giving verbal guidance to the Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Taskforce on the review’s findings and discussing with the group its approach to managing risks around non-violent extremism. The Government has also discussed the review with the British Bankers’ Association (now part of UK Finance).
