CTR Batch Filers –Deadline is Approaching

If you are a CTR batch filer, will you be ready to submit your CTR forms to FinCEN in the new XML based file by June 1, 2018?

On August 18, 2017, FinCEN announced the updated Currency Transaction Report (CTR) would be made available on the BSA E- Filing System on August 28, 2017.  Batch filers had nine months from the August 28th “go-live” date to adhere to the new XML specification, rather than the current ASCII based file.

 

The June 1st deadline is quickly approaching and the BSA E-Filing System will only accept ASCII based batch files until May 31, 2018.  Make sure you and your vendor are prepared to meet the June 1, 2018, deadline.

 

Also, if you are a discrete filer and still utilizing templates or saved versions of the previous CTR report, FinCEN will no longer accept these versions after May 31, 2018.
