Identification of accounts for both FATCA and CRS use Indicia. The key criteria are largely the same with differences as detailed below.

2. A US registered or correspondence address
3. A US place of birth
4. Other details, such as “care of” address, holding address or PO Box
5. Power of attorney or signatory authority granted to a person in the US
6. Standing instructions to transfer funds to an account in the US or directions received from a US address
7. A US telephone number

CRS Indicia
