This is screen 1 of 7 used to configure information about how your credit union’s files are to be processed by CU*BASE. Use Enter to save and continue to the next screen.

IMPORTANT: Online credit unions are not able to access this screen. If you would like any of these settings to be changed for your credit union, contact a CU*BASE Client Service Representative. Self-processing credit unions should also consult a Client Service Representative for advice before making changes to these settings. Remember that some features used in a service bureau environment are not appropriate in the in-house environment.

Automated Filing of CTRs to FinCEN

This screen activates Automated Filing of CTRs (Currency Transaction Reports) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Once this feature is activated credit unions’ completed and locked CTR forms are sent directly from CU*BASE to FinCEN. This eliminates the time consuming step of re-entering the information into the FinCEN website. Refer to the Work with CTR Forms screen for more details on processing a CTR. FinCEN will also return a file with errors that can be worked. Refer to the first CTR fill in screen for information on how this error information can be viewed.

Important Note: Once the feature is activated, it will only affect CTRs going forward. CTRs locked prior to activation will not be sent to FinCEN, but will instead need to be manually entered in the FinCEN website. To make it easier to keep track of what you’ve sent and not sent, make sure you are all caught up on outstanding reports before asking us to activate the feature for you.

There is a monthly fee charge for this feature.

IMPORTANT: Online clients must first sign an authorization form, which is on Page 2 of this form.
Self-processing clients: Please contact a CRS before activating this feature.
NOTE: CTRs fall off of the automated log after 180 days. It is recommended that you print a copy of the CTRs for your five-year retention requirement. CU*BASE is should not be considered your long-term repository for CTRs.

Type of processor	A (AS/400) is the only value allowed. This code represents whatever IBM happens to be calling its processor these days (iSeries, i5, System i, POWERi, etc.) (In the past, there were also separate codes for System 34, System 36, etc.)
