What Sets Driggs Title Apart

FinCEN's new reporting rule adds a compliance layer to qualifying transactions. We built the platform that makes it seamless for everyone involved.

No Delays at Closing

FinCEN compliance runs in parallel with your transaction timeline. Our digital workflow starts early and collects information while your closing proceeds as normal. No bottlenecks, no surprises.

Guided, Step-by-Step Forms

Every party follows a clear digital form that explains what's needed and why. Built-in validation catches errors in real time, and progress saves automatically. Most sellers finish in under five minutes.

Your Data Is Protected

All information is encrypted in transit and at rest. Secure, time-limited links mean no accounts or passwords to manage, and no credentials to compromise. Access is role-restricted and every action is audited.

End-to-End Compliance

Driggs Title handles the full lifecycle: determination, secure information collection, professional compliance review, FinCEN-compliant XML generation, and direct submission to BSA E-Filing. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Purpose-Built for FinCEN Compliance

Every number reflects a system built specifically for FinCEN's Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule (31 CFR 1031.320).

How the Process Works

Three steps from determination to filing, designed to meet FinCEN's deadline with time to spare and zero disruption to your closing.

01

Reportability Is Determined

Our 8-step questionnaire evaluates the buyer’s entity type, financing structure, property classification, and all exemptions under 31 CFR 1031.320. If a filing is required, all parties are notified with clear next steps.

02

Information Is Collected Securely

Buyers and sellers receive secure, personalized links to guided digital forms. No accounts or passwords required. Entity details, beneficial ownership, and funding sources are captured with real-time validation and automatic saving.

03

The Report Is Filed with FinCEN

Our compliance team reviews every submission for accuracy, generates FinCEN-compliant XML, and submits directly to the BSA E-Filing system. Each filing is tracked from submission through FinCEN acceptance and BSA ID assignment.

The Platform Behind the Compliance

Purpose-built for FinCEN's Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule, not retrofitted from a general compliance tool.

End-to-End Digital Workflow

From determination through filing, the entire process is digital. No paper forms, no manual data entry, no scanning or mailing.

Secure by Design

Time-limited, cryptographically unique links. No accounts or passwords. All data encrypted in transit and at rest. Every access logged for audit compliance.

Built-In Electronic Signatures

Certification is captured electronically. No printing, scanning, or mailing required. All signatures are stored and fully auditable for compliance records.

Real-Time Status Tracking

Every filing is tracked from draft through FinCEN acceptance, with status timelines, acknowledgement processing, and BSA tracking ID assignment.

Automated Validation

All 111 report data fields validated against FinCEN’s schema before submission. Address verification, format checking, and completeness rules catch errors early.

Direct FinCEN Integration

Filings submitted directly to FinCEN’s BSA E-Filing system via secure SFTP, not through a third-party intermediary. Acceptance confirmed in real time.
