Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT ACT requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or changes an existing account. This federal requirement applies to all new customers and current customers. This information is used to assist the United States government in the fight against the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities.
What this means to you: when you open an account or change an existing account, we will ask for the following information: your name, address, telephone number, social security number or TIN number, date of birth, employment information, and your driver's license or state issued ID. We will make a copy of these identifying documents for our records.
