We are in our soft launch period for beneficial ownership and here's what we are experiencing already:
One customer was confused by the form (I used the model with some modifications). At the very top it states, "Person
s opening an account on behalf of......" Our new accounts rep explained that only one person's name needed to be entered. I will be revising the form to eliminate the "s".
One call asking if a minor should be reported as a beneficial owner. I said "yes" if they actually were a beneficial owner. I'm trying to find out more about this.
One loan officer reported that "no one is a beneficial as his customer owns 100% of the entity!" I banged my head against the wall on this one.
Some confusion regarding non-profits. I'm having to remind them that they are not excluded from the Rule, just the Beneficial Owner Prong.
Would love to hear what others are experiencing!
