Account Opening and Selection Notice
05/05/2019
For account opening, my bank requires a separate application, signature card, and Uniform Single-Party or Multi-Party Account Selection Notice. Is there a regulation/law/code that requires all of these to match? While auditing, I noticed POD selection and information missing from an application; however, the beneficiary has been named [properly] on the selection notice. Do I need to have the customer complete a new application?

Adding to Time Acct. After Initial Funding
04/28/2019
Can we put a cap on how much may be added to a time account after the initial funding? For example, if a customer opens a time deposit with $5,000 and then wants to add $100,000, we would not allow that. Can we put a restriction in place that you could not add more to the account during the term than the original amount, so if the account was opened with $5,000 that they could not add more than an additional $5,000? Also can we allow an HSA CD to be a time account, or are there restrictions on this?
CTR for an ITF Account-Filing Guidance
04/28/2019
We need to do a CTR for an ITF account because the custodian came in and withdrew over $10K. For filing guidance we see examples of deposits, but not of withdrawals. Should the beneficiary of the trust be on the CTR assuming that funds withdrawn were for them? All we know is that the beneficiary walked out with the money. Also, should "ITF" be shown on the CTR anywhere?
