CTR stands for ‘Currency Transaction Report’, while FTR stands for ‘Foreign Transaction Report’. A CTR FTR Report is the report filed with Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) to report cash transactions of over N5,000,000 for individuals and N10,000,000 for corporate bodies in compliance with section 10(1) of Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act (MLPA), 2011. This report comprises of local currencies and foreign currencies hence it’s dual name, CTR FTR.

WHAT ARE THE CTR FTR TYPES?
Currency Transaction/ Foreign Transaction types include NIP, NAPS, NEFT, Cheques, Cash deposits, Cash withdrawal, Transfer, FXFT, RTGS and REMITA, Investment Booking Transactions, Managers Cheque etc.

For reporting purposes, the transaction types could be INWARD / INFLOWS or OUTWARD / OUTFLOWS. It all depends on if the reporting institution is the receiving / destination bank or the bank giving out / source of the fund in transaction. For instance; if John who operates an ABC Bank account sends an X amount to Mag who is an XYZ Bank user, then, the transaction type is inward for XYZ Bank (Mag’s bank) but Outward for ABC Bank (John’s bank).

Another example; when an NIP Transaction is carried out. When it comes to reporting, the NIP transaction will be regarded as NIPInward if the reporting bank is receiving the value or NIPOutward if the bank is giving out the value.

The transaction types represent the different payment service platforms and they are explained briefly below.

NIP (NIBSS INSTANT PAYMENT)

NIP is an e-payment solution designed by NIBSS to service the banking industry. It is the only point to point funds transfer service that guarantees instant value to the beneficiary. NIP is majorly offered via a bank’s internet banking, mobile and bank branch platforms for individuals and body corporates. To a bank, NIBSS Instant Payment can either be inward or outward.

The drawer writes the various details including the monetary amount, date, and a payee on the cheque, and signs it, ordering his/her bank, known as the drawee, to pay that person or company the amount of money stated. The transactions that involve the use of a cheque fall under “cheques” in the Compliance planet and they could be inward or outward clearing.

RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement)
RTGS is a specialist funds transfer systems where the transfer of money or securities takes place from one bank to another on a “real time” and on a “gross” basis. Settlement in “real time” means a payment transaction is not subjected to any waiting period, with transactions being settled as soon as they are processed. “Gross settlement” means the transaction is settled on one-to-one basis without bundling or netting with any other transaction. “Settlement” means that once processed, payments are final and irrevocable.

RTGS systems are typically used for high-value transactions that require and receive immediate clearing. That is, payments that need to be settled urgently. RTGS transactions could be either inward or outward.
