15. Filing a SAR
Your generated SAR can be automatically sent to FinCEN with live tracking of the results.
With the Unit21 case management system, you may select viable cases and create a FinCEN SAR report (FinCEN is the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a US government agency).
Our SAR filing dashboard pre-populates items for you based on generic information (ie SSN/TIN/EIN) in the SAR template and information from the case.
File a SAR
- Log into your Dashboard.
- Navigate to the Cases page and select any case or continue from the case created in step 14.
- Select Create a FinCEN SAR:

As the report is received by FinCEN, the state will change accordingly. You can also file CARs and amendments as needed.
Can I submit multiple reports at once?
No, we do not support batch filling SARs.
