Keeping Records

You must keep records for each account you must report on an FBAR that establish: 

  • Name on the account, 
  • Account number,
  • Name and address of the foreign bank, 
  • Type of account, and 
  • Maximum value during the year. 
  • The law doesn’t specify the type of document to keep with this information; it can be bank statements or a copy of a filed FBAR, for example, if they have all the information. 

You must keep these records for five years from the due date of the FBAR.
