“The National Security Agency (NSA) widely monitors international payments, banking and credit card transactions. The spying is conducted by a branch called ‘Follow the Money’ (FTM). The collected information then flows into the NSA’s own financial databank, called ‘Tracfin,’ which in 2011 contained 180 million records. Some 84 percent of the data is from credit card transactions. Further NSA documents from 2010 show that the NSA also targets the transactions of customers of large credit card companies like VISA for surveillance. The NSA’s Tracfin data bank also contained data from SWIFT, a network used by thousands of banks to send transaction information securely.”
