The CTR database files in CU*BASE have a 3-month retention period, so there is a period of time where the form can be reviewed and reprinted before it is purged from the CU*BASE database. The retention of CTR forms is currently set by regulation at 5 years. Your credit union is responsible for retaining the final paperwork for the required period. CU*BASE should not be considered your long-term repository for CTRs.
It is recommended you print your CTR forms via the Print Form button in Tool #991 Work with CTR Forms.
