IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens or has signatory authority on an Account. These procedures are designed to prevent crimes, such as identity theft and account fraud that helps the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities. The definition of an account covers a broad range of regular financial transactions such as deposit, transaction, asset or credit accounts or other extensions of credit.
