Important Information You Need to Know About Opening A New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

Types of Information You Will Need to Provide

When you open an account, we are required to collect information such as the following from you:

  • Your name
  • Date of birth
  • Address
  • Identification number
    US Citizen: taxpayer identification number (Social Security Number)
    Non-US Citizen: taxpayer identification number, passport number and country of issuance, alien identification card number, or government-issued identification showing nationality, residence and a photograph of you.

    You may also need to show your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

If Your Identity Cannot Be Verified

We may not be able to open an account for you.

We thank you for your patience and hope that you will support the financial industry’s efforts to deny terrorists and money launderers access to America’s financial system.
