The Central Bank Reporting (CBR) Form is used to capture the transaction details required by the central bank and report those details electronically on printed forms.
Notes:
When thresholds apply, they are based on the currency of the country of residency. Therefore, when the payment is in a currency other than the resident currency, the equivalent threshold amount is calculated in the resident currency.
Central Bank Reporting of payments from a Resident Account (more commonly known as an On-Shore account) to a Non-Resident Account (more commonly known as an Off-Shore account) is generally done by the bank holding the resident account.
The domicile of the beneficiary is not known to CitiDirect; therefore, CitiDirect will not "Know" if the payment is to a Resident or Non-resident beneficiary. As a result, when a resident account is used to initiate a payment, entering CBR data is optional. It is up to you to determine if such reporting is required.
