Questions and Answers

When completing the currency transaction report (CTR), are we required to list the social security number of the employee who is conducting the deposit transaction on behalf of our customer?

No.  Line 39 of the CTR asks for the employer identification number (EIN) of your financial institution.  If your institution does not have an EIN, then you should use the social security number of the principal owner of your organization.
