IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
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 identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
The information we request of you will primarily be used to provide you with the products and services you requested, but will also assist us in the nation’s effort to fight against terrorism. The information you provide us will remain secure, while making sure that our country’s financial institutions are free from misuse by terrorists and money launderers.
