6.3.1.1 Information About Where the Transaction was Conducted or Attempted

Provide information about the physical location where the transaction took place or was attempted. For example, if the transaction was conducted at:

• A branch, provide the reporting entity location number of that branch.
• An automated teller machine (ATM), provides the reporting entity location number of that ATM.

For the following situations, provide the location number of where the transaction was processed – this could be a branch location or a head office location, depending on your business process:

• There is no physical location (for instance, the transaction was conducted online).
• The location where the transaction occurred does not belong to your business (for instance the location of a white label ATM that you do not own).

Note:

Informationabout a location that does not belong to your business can be provided in the narrative section of the Suspicious Transaction Report.

1. Select the reporting entity location number from the drop-down list. Based on your selection, the rest of the fields such as City, Country, and so on are auto-filled.
   This represents information about where the transaction took place. For example, if the client deposited cash at Branch 1, then select the location number that is associated with Branch 1.
   If the client conducts a transaction online, then select the location number that is associated with the location that processes the client's online instructions – this could be a branch location or head office location, depending on your business process. The location number is created and assigned to you by FINTRAC during the enrollment process to the FINTRAC Web Reporting System (FWR), and maintained by your FWR administrator.
2. To remove the existing transactions from the list, select the required transaction from the list and click Delete. The selected transaction is removed.
3. To valid the transaction, click Validate to authenticate the details.
