BREAKING NEWS! Is Your Bank Prepared for This New Rule?

FinCEN issued a final rule requiring certain entities to file with FinCEN reports that identify two categories of individuals: the beneficial owners of the entity, and individuals who have filed an application with specified governmental authorities to create the entity or register it to do business.

"The rule is effective January 1, 2024. Reporting companies created or registered before January 1, 2024, will have one year (until January 1, 2025) to file their initial reports, while reporting companies created or registered after January 1, 2024, will have 30 days after creation or registration to file their initial reports. Once the initial report has been filed, both existing and new reporting companies will have to file updates within 30 days of a change in their beneficial ownership information. FinCEN is committed to implementing these statutory obligations in a robust manner while minimizing burdens on reporting companies.

The reporting rule is one of three rule-makings planned to implement the CTA. FinCEN will engage in additional rule-makings to: (1) establish rules for who may access beneficial ownership information, for what purposes, and what safeguards will be required to ensure that the information is secured and protected; and (2) revise FinCEN’s customer due diligence rule. In addition, FinCEN continues to develop the infrastructure to administer these requirements, including the information technology system that will be used to store beneficial ownership information in accordance with the strict security and confidentiality requirements of the CTA."

FinCEN Issues Final Rule for Beneficial Ownership Reporting to Support Law Enforcement Efforts, Counter Illicit Finance, and Increase Transparency

New Beneficial Ownership Rules: What You Need to Know 

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), requires new and existing state corporations, tribal corporations, limited liability companies, and other similar entities both domestic and foreign to report personal identifying information to FinCEN for their natural-person beneficial owners and for the applicants who establish or register the entities. This expands on why financial institutions were asked to start gathering this information to begin with-to identify the beating hearts behind these businesses and to discourage the use of shell companies by money launderers.  In this compliance webinar will review both the final and proposed rules from FinCEN, including the impact to your CDD program. 

In addition,  we will provide effective ways to gather and verify beneficial owner information, and present best practices for obtaining information to verify the identity of your accountholder and to establish the purpose of and the anticipated activity for the account. Obtaining all of this information is just part of the process. What are you doing with it once you have it? How do you know when something is outside the “norm” for an accountholder? What triggers will require you to update the information on file?
