1/11/2005 USA PATRIOT Act Monitor News Release: FinCEN
revises MSB Registration Form
FinCEN Form 107, Registration of Money Services Business, has been revised effective
January 2005 and is available for immediate use. Previous versions will not
be accepted after June 2005. The Form can be downloaded from the FinCEN website
at http://www.fincen.gov/reg_bsaforms.html.
The new form, as was the former Treasury Form, TD F 90-22.55, is filed with
the IRS Computing Center in Detroit. Registrants must describe the types of
money services business activities they conduct (issuing, selling or redeeming
traveler's checks or money orders, currency dealing or exchanging, check cashing,
and/or money transmitting), the number of branches and the agents authorized
to conduct each MSB activity, the states in which the registrant, its agents,
or branches are located, and the primary transaction account for the registrant's
MSB activities. The form comes with three pages of instructions. The editors
of the Monitor are preparing an MSB compliance checklist for operators of money
services businesses.
