It is co-chaired by the United States of America and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The center, that had already sanctioned individuals and groups linked to terrorism, was created to enhance multilateral efforts among the US and the Gulf countries; Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE); to counter regional money laundering and terrorist financing networks. TFTC members counter these networks through three primary lines of effort: identifying, tracking, and sharing information about terrorist financing networks; coordinating joint disruptive actions; and offering capacity-building training and assistance in countering the financing of terrorism.
