You must file a report of Foreign Bank And Financial Accounts (FBAR) because of the requirements below. When you file Form 8938, you will enter one bank account and when the entry is finished you will answer "yes' to "I have other financial assets to enter.....", then enter the second bank.

Who Must File an FBAR:

  1. the United States person had a financial interest in or signature authority over at least one financial account located outside of the United States; and
