Regarding a Beneficial Owner Certification: ABC, LLC (Borrower) is 100% owned by DEF, Inc. DEF, Inc. is 33.33% owned by 3 individuals. Would I need to list the individuals as having 25% or more ownership on the certification, even though they are not owners of ABC, LLC?

We think we heard Brian Crow say, at TopGun Mar. 2020), that if we acquire a loan from a non-covered institution, that did not collect Beneficial Ownership certification from a legal entity borrower, we now must do so. I'm looking for citation of that requirement in Regs or guidance etc. We're about to do exactly that scenario.

How would I complete a CTR for an estate? The Trust Dept. opened deceased customer's safe deposit box and found $75,000 in cash. Funds were then
deposited into a trust fund. I know the trust employee will be the transactor but how do we handle the "on behalf of"? Do we just put customer's name even though he is deceased? There's no where to put "The Estate of ..."

We are a de novo bank and our BSA officer mentioned that it was "recommended" by FDIC regulators that banks need to check their
correspondent banks on OFAC anytime they send or receive a wire from them. To me this seems pointless and quite excessive. We send/receive wires
through PCBB and I can't see us needing to check OFAC lists for their name daily. Is this really necessary?

XYZ, LLC was opened with a certification of two individual signers owning 10% and 16% of the company. However XYZ’s company agreement stated that another LLC (ABC, LLC) owned 90% and one individual (one of the signers) owned 10% interest of the company. The ABC, LLC was not indicated on the certification.
Based on the XYZ’s company agreement, do we need to request beneficiary ownership information on the ABC owners?
