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 or organization opening an account (including a deposit account, loan, or safe deposit box). What does this mean for you?

Personal accounts and certain business/association accounts: We will ask for your name, street address, date of birth, and Social Security Number. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

Accounts for formal businesses/associations: We will ask for the business name, street address and Federal Employer ID Number. We may also ask for copies of documents confirming the organization of the business/association, and will require a resolution specifying those persons authorized to act on the account.
