If you do not have access to the Web, or cannot access the forms, contact Patrick Carroll at patrick.carroll@dbo.ca.gov or by telephone at (415) 263-8559 to make other arrangements. The DBO does not mails out hard copy report forms and diskettes. Instead, reporting institutions download, store and print the call report forms in Excel format from the DBO Web page. Some of the web links to download and save the forms and instructions have changed. If you have saved those links to the Favorites Center on your Internet browser you may need to update them. Also please note that while electronic version of the Schedule U may be emailed, submission of the signed, hard copy via U.S. postal mail is still required.

Submitting Schedule U

Every institution has a “Department of Business Oversight (DBO) file number” which should be entered in the appropriate place on the report. For your convenience, a list of DBO numbers is attached. Institutions that formerly reported on Schedule T please notice that a new file number has been issued your institution for reporting on Schedule U. Do not use the number that you formerly used for reporting on Schedule T.

Send the completed report as an email attachment to callreport@dbo.ca.gov. Please put your institution name and call date in the subject line of the message. The report must be emailed by Friday, January 31, 2014.

Keep a copy of the signed, executed report in a file at the institution.

Schedule U was required on a quarterly basis, beginning March 31, 2003 from each national bank, federal savings bank, or foreign (other state) bank that is authorized to conduct trust business in California, regardless of the amount of fiduciary assets held as part of that business.

Schedule U is in an Excel format that is to be filed electronically AND in hard copy. The report filed electronically will not contain the required signatures from the two certifying officers. The report filed in hard copy must contain the required signatures from the two certifying officers.

Very truly yours,
