USA Patriot Act

Section 326 requires Financial Institutions to verify the identity of account holders to prevent the use of the U.S. banking system in terrorist and other illegal activity.

Important Notice 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.

In some cases, identification for existing customers may be requested so the bank can ensure that it knows the true identity of our customers.

Beginning May 11, 2018, new federal regulations require all banks to ask business customers who are opening an account for the identifying information (name, address, date of birth, social security number) of the business’ “beneficial owners". The rule defines a beneficial owner as:
 

  • Each individual that owns 25 percent or more of the company; and
  • One individual that has the authority to exercise control of the business (such as a CEO, executive officer or treasurer)

 
This information is required under the Bank Secrecy Act and is intended to assist the government and law enforcement in the ongoing fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
