Reporting other information

Question:

The CTR includes fields in Part I for “gender” (item 7), “contact phone number” (item 18), and “E-mail address” (item 19). They are not identified as “critical” fields. Do we have to ask for this information to complete the CTR?

Answer:

If you don’t have the information on file, you are not required to obtain it to complete the CTR filing, and we do not recommend that you ask for it. However, if you do have the information (e.g., you obtain it as part of the new account process and it is available in your customer database), you are required to include the information in the CTR filing. You should not complete item 7 based on observation or based on the individual’s name.
