Setting up EZTeller to Create CTR batches For E-Filing Through FinCEN

You want to start using CTR E-Filing through FinCEN and need to know how to configure Superview to create batches.

 


Environment:

EZTeller

Before you can start BSA/CTR E-Filing in EZTeller, you must submit a test file to Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The BSA E-Filing System website, http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/main.html, has a link under the User Quick Links section called 'BSA E-Filing System, Batch File Testing Procedures' that lists FinCEN's requirements.


To get started:

  1. Contact FinCEN and establish a secure login to their web site.
  2. You will be assigned a test Transmitter Control Code (TBSATEST). 
  3. Log into Superview and select Admin Bank as your workgroup, for your test records.
  4. Select Profile Options > Modules > Click OK, for Group Change Warning > CTR:
  • Under Electronic Filing Options, select BSA E-Filing, click Apply and OK.
  1. Select Bank > CTR Filing and complete the  Bank CTR Information screen. Select Self-Filing, click OK.
  2. Click on CTR > CTR Main Menu, select #3 - Customer Information.
  3. Create new customer records (John Test 000-11-1111,  Mary Test 000-22-2222, etc.).
  4. Click CTR > CTR Main Menu > select #4 - Force Currency Transaction Reporting (CTR).
  5. Force 51 CTR records for the test customers.

Note: EZTeller has many customers that E-File. You only need to force basic transactions to fulfill their requirement.

  1. Click on CTR > CTR Main Menu, select #7 - Electronic Filing.
  2. Select Forms in the date range entered.
  3. Modify the Transaction Date(s) under The last electronic filing was None, for the dates the forced CTR records were created. Click OK.
