Which provision allows information sharing among financial institutions?

Sharing information between financial institutions to detect and prevent illicit activity is allowed under a provision that provides a safe harbor for such collaboration. This section explicitly authorizes financial institutions to share information with each other about known or suspected terrorists or other illicit activity, and to coordinate their efforts while maintaining certain confidentiality safeguards. That explicit permission to exchange information across institutions is what makes it the correct choice. The other items describe internal monitoring or procedural aspects that don’t authorize cross-institution sharing.
