Important information 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 will also ask to scan your drivers license or other picture identification documents for our photo identification program.

Thanks for you understanding and help in this critical effort. The war on terrorism will be fought on many fronts, and this is one of them.
