To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What does this mean 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 ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
IF WE DO NOT HAVE YOUR FUNDS TRANSFER AGREEMENT IN OUR FILES, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXECUTE TRANSFERS.
We value our relationship and it is important for us to safeguard your privacy and ensure that your funds are protected against fraudulent activity at all times. For this reason, we are providing you a link to our Electronic Funds Transfers Disclosure, Funds Transfer Agreement and contract.
