IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES
FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
Section 326: Verification of Identification – Prescribes regulations establishing minimum standards for financial institutions and their customers regarding the identity of a customer that shall apply with the opening of an account at the financial institution.
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that on personal accounts identifies each person who opens an account. In addition, on Legal Entity accounts, we will require identification on beneficial owners and one individual that has significant managerial responsibility for the Legal Entity.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. For Legal Entity accounts, we are required to ask you for identifying information (name, address, date of birth, social security number and identification documents). We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our customers and our country.
