Banks will need to scrutinize transactions more closely, which might affect the speed of some international operations.
Key points
Foreign banks assisting terrorists may lose the ability to hold accounts in the U.S.
The U.S. Treasury Department will be able to more easily identify banks supporting terrorism.
The goal is to cut off funding for terrorist groups that target U.S. citizens.
