Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help fight terrorism funding and money laundering activities, financial institutions are required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each individual or entity that opens an account or requests credit.

Individuals: When individuals open an account or request credit, we will ask for their name, residence address, date of birth, tax identification number, and other information that allows us to identify them. We may also ask to see a driver's license, passport, or other identifying documents.

Legal Entities: When a corporation, partnership, trust, or other legal entity opens an account or requests credit, we will ask for the entity's name, physical address, tax identification number, and other information that will allow us to identify the entity. We may also ask to see other identifying documents, such as certified articles of incorporation, partnership agreements, or a trust instrument.
