How long do firms have to electronically file Form BR after opening a new branch?

60 days
30 days
15 days
90 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

Firms are required to electronically file Form BR within 30 days after opening a new branch. This reflects the regulatory intent to ensure that firms keep their branch information current in a timely manner. This filing is crucial for maintaining compliance with regulatory standards and ensuring that the necessary oversight can occur. Filing within this specific timeframe helps regulatory bodies keep track of active branches, facilitates supervision, and ensures that customers and other stakeholders have access to accurate information about the firm's operations. The 30-day requirement is designed to balance the need for timely information with the operational realities of branch openings, allowing firms a reasonable period to complete the filing after a new branch is established.
