I'm still having a problem. The message on the helpline says they are having an issue with uploading CTRs. I'm trying to file a SAR. Is anyone else having a problem today?

Yes, it has something to do with an update they did or we did and they are not compliant with each other. They are working on fixing it.

The only way I could get mine through was "opening a new form" field on the site and transferring all the information into the form then submit it, if you save it and try to pull it at a later date it will freeze up.

A CU, Where Regs Don't Apply
We're still using a workaround that requires me going to IT and using one of their computers without the latest Windows patch applied. One of our guys emailed in about the problem and was told the problem was the latest Windows patch that was installed. They recommended we uninstall the patch. He laughed. So they want us to open back up known system vulnerabilities, but if we did that and got compromised, we'd be in violation of our security measures and patch management policy. Nice try FinCEN! Trying to get us written up/hacked into. smirk

FinCEN now has a notice on the website about the cause of the problem and possible workarounds. I tried using Chrome and had the same problem. I went back to IE and finally got it to work by dragging my saved pdf into the filing website.

Is anyone else experiencing a problem filing on FINCEN BSA E-file site? I can't get the forms (CTR or SAR) to open.

This thread will "stick" at the top of the forum for a couple days so people won't have the inclination to start new threads...

Matt B- my IT dept did the same thing for me, worked!

Something about if you are using internet explorer to open saved files.

Good luck everyone, hope they fix soon.

I can open new CTRs and SARs, but am unable to reload a saved file. I noticed this after I did an update on my computer. My IT person was not able to determine what the problem was, so I had come to the conclusion that it was a FinCEN issue. I hope they are able to resolve the problem soon.....
