#1228037 - 08/06/09 12:52 PM CTR for cash for another bank
Anonymous

We cash a large cashier's check on another local bank, brought in by the branch manager of that bank. CTR Part 1 is the manager's personal information. Do we need the other's bank information, or do we treat it strictly as an individual cashing a check?

Was the cash for the bank's use? If so, a CTR is not required for another financial institution.

Yes it was for another bank's use. Does the amount matter--it was for over $50,000?

A CTR is required unless you exempt them, which is very easy now that a DOEP is not required for them. While the initial DOEP and annual review are not a requirement, a bank still needs to take the same steps to verify the customer's initial eligibility for the exemption and document it.

If you decide not to exempt them, the CTR should be completed with the bank's information in section A and the manager's information in section B of Part I.

No, it doesn't matter the amount. All banks and government entities are exempt from CTR filings.

In reality, you don't exempt them. You verify that they are a bank and entitled to the exemption given to them in the regulation. All you have to once you've done that is add the bank to your exemption list so you don't have to go through the exercise again later.

I agree. You verify that they are a bank and add them to the list. My point was that you can't just go off the idea that all banks are exempt and so you don't have to file any CTR's. That's not the case. You may not have to go through a formal exemption process with a DOEP, but you still have to acknowledge that you've exempted them by adding them to the list. Unless you do that, you should file a CTR.

Actually, this was changed earlier this year and all banks are exempt along with all government entities. I learned this the other day in Ken Golliher's BSA training.

I'm aware of the change that took place in January, but are saying that there's no need verify that they're eligible, add them to your exempt persons list, and document it? You can simply just not file on them?

So---No CTR necessary and no need to add them to an exempt list? That is also my opinion.

You have to verify that they are eligible. Then add them to your exempt list and you are done.

Is there a requirement to have an exemption list?

They are a community bank. What do I have to verify?

"Is there a requirement to have an exemption list?"

You have to document compliance with the exemption rules.

31 CFR § 103.22 (d)(5)(x) Documentation. The records maintained by a bank to document its compliance with and administration of the rules of this paragraph (d) shall be maintained in accordance with the provisions of §103.38.
