MSB Call Report Adoption

The NMLS MSB Call Report is a uniform form that will be completed by MSB companies, licensed in states that require their licensees to submit the report. States that adopt the report, adopt all sections of the report, with the exception of optional Section IV(b), and entities licensed in the state will be required to complete submission of the report in accordance with the schedule detailed in MSB Call Report: Reporting Frequency.

For companies licensed in multiple states that adopt the report, the company-level sections only need to be completed in the system once per submission. A company holding more than one license type in a single state is only required to submit one NMLS MSB Call Report for that state. A company licensed in multiple states will complete a separate State Transactions Detail (Section II(b)) for each state that adopts the NMLS MSB Call Report and in which the company is licensed.

Section IV(b), State Transactions Destination Country Detail, is an optional section for states to adopt. This section provides functionality for states to receive state transactions destination country data to be submitted as part of the report on an annual basis.
