We have a procedure for centralized BSA reporting, at our main branch. A customer at one of our branches is now eligibile for exemption, and our BSA Officer at the main branch is filing the exemption. All of our branches operate under the same tax ID number, which may or may not matter. We believe we do not check the box under item #19 and that this exemption will be good at each of our branch locations. Are we thinking correctly?

Thank you,

As long as you are one financial institution, the exemption is good bank wide, across all branch offices.
