Adding an Institution

FinCEN requires that location information be provided for the individual transactions that comprise a CTR. The CTR Institutions dialog box lets you add or maintain the location information for your credit union branches and other institutions where your members may complete transactions. You should add each of your credit union branches to the CTR Institutions dialog box.

To access the CTR Institutions dialog box, click Administration within the BSA Reporting menu on the Portico Explorer Bar. On the Administration menu, click Maintenance, then click CTR Institutions.

To view/maintain the details of an existing institution click the Details icon button on the CTR Institutions window.
To add a new institution, click Add on the CTR Institutions window or click New on the CTR Institutions dialog box. On the CTR Institutions dialog box, select the credit union branch from the Credit Union Branch drop-down list and click the green arrow to populate the fields with the host branch information. The credit union branch name and address from the Credit Union Profile - Credit Union tab will automatically appear. At least one batch transmitter record must be created in order to use CTR eFiling on the BSA website.
