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 each person for their name, physical address, mailing address, date
of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify them. We will
ask to see each person’s driver’s license and other identifying
documents and copy or record information from each of them.
