What Does Error Code SBE04 Mean?

“Reporting Company information entered in Type of filing Items 1(e)-(h) cannot be matched to an existing Reporting Company. Please try again. If this problem persists, please contact the FinCEN Contact Center for assistance.”

Error Code SBE04 means there’s a mismatch between the details you entered and the existing records in the FinCEN database. This can happen when you’re updating previous reports or correcting past submissions.

How to Fix It:

Double-Check Your Entries:

  • Ensure that the Legal name, TIN, and country/jurisdiction are entered accurately.
  • Match these details with previous reports to avoid inconsistencies.

Maintain Consistency:

  • Use the information from the most recently filed report when updating or correcting.
  • Avoid using details from the initial report if there have been updates since.

Utilize Automation Tools:

  • Automation tools can minimize human errors, ensuring accurate data entry and consistency across all reports.
