To update, change, add, or delete your financial institution's point of contact information on FinCEN's distribution list for receiving Section 314(a) Information Requests, you must contact your primary federal supervisory agency. Financial Institutions subject to supervision by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Office of Thrift Supervision should provide information for Section 314(a) points-of-contact on the institution's quarterly Call or Thrift Financial Report. Credit unions subject to supervision by the National Credit Union Administration should update their 314(a) points of contact (POCs) in the on-line credit union profile on the Contacts Tab.

The following items must be provided to update or add your financial institution's POC information: financial institution name and charter number or other identifier; point of contact name and title, mailing (street number, P.O.
