Daily Compliance Brief — OFAC Targets Xinbi Guarantee Cyber Scam Infrastructure

September 10, 2026

Signal

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Xinbi Guarantee and two supporting entities on September 9, 2026, targeting infrastructure linked to cyber scams, fraud, and money laundering. According to the Treasury press release, Xinbi operated an illicit online marketplace connecting scam centers with financial, technological, and other service providers.

The action identifies links between Xinbi Guarantee, digital asset services, money laundering networks, and Southeast Asian scam operations. Treasury stated that the marketplace had processed more than $24 billion in digital assets and fiat currency since its inception around 2022.

The designations also target SafeW Technology and Anwen Technology, which OFAC identified as providers of encrypted communications and digital wallet infrastructure supporting Xinbi's operations.

Why it matters

Financial institutions and virtual asset service providers should assess exposure to the designated entities, associated wallets, and related counterparties, including indirect relationships through payment and technology providers.

Transaction monitoring should account for scam-related activity involving digital assets, online marketplaces, encrypted communications, and Southeast Asian counterparties, particularly where multiple services appear connected to the same network.
