As specified on the attached Designated Coordinator Registration form, the Designated Coordinator will be able to execute regulatory transactions and submit beneficial ownership report filings on behalf of the bank and its insiders. The Coordinator will also be authorized to provide access to the electronic Beneficial Ownership Filings system to other bank staff as well as to individuals not employed by the bank who need to file these reports. The FDIC will rely on the actions taken by the Coordinator and those users given access to the filing system by the Coordinator. Thus, it is important for the bank to carefully choose the Coordinator and to implement controls that address the operational risks inherent in on-line transactions. After a Designated Coordinator has been assigned and the FDIC has received the completed registration form, FDIC connect staff will provide that individual with technical guidance for using FDIC connect .
