Which term is the Money Services Business under FinCEN regulations?

The term FinCEN uses to designate entities engaged in certain financial activities under the Bank Secrecy Act is Money Services Business, abbreviated MSB. FinCEN defines an MSB to include categories like currency dealers or exchangers, check cashers, money transmitters, issuers or sellers of traveler’s checks or money orders, and providers of prepaid access. The other options don’t fit this regulatory designation: malware is not a regulated financial category, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency rather than the regulatory label for a business, and 314(b) refers to a specific information-sharing program under FinCEN, not the umbrella term for regulated entities.
