FBAR Filing, Not Just FBAR Preparation
Why We Built FBAR Direct
Filing an FBAR should be straightforward. But most people are stuck choosing between two bad options: preparation tools that make you navigate the government portal yourself, or CPA firms that charge hundreds of dollars for the exact same filing.
We built FBAR Direct to be the better alternative: CPA-quality filing at a fraction of the cost. A guided service that takes 10 minutes and files directly to FinCEN through the official BSA E-Filing System — no portal navigation required, no expensive professional fees.

How to Verify Any FBAR Filing Service
Before using any FBAR filing service, verify these credentials:
- Ask for their FinCEN BSA E-Filing registration credentials
- Verify they submit through FinCEN's official BSA E-Filing system
- Confirm you'll receive a BSA tracking ID after filing
- Check for transparent pricing with no hidden fees
- Look for E&O (Errors and Omissions) insurance coverage
- Read reviews on BBB and Trustpilot
Warning: Some FBAR filing services are not legitimate. If a service cannot provide FinCEN registration credentials or a BSA tracking ID after filing, your FBAR may not have been filed with FinCEN.
