USA Patriot Act
What is the USA Patriot Act?
The USA Patriot Act was enacted in 2001 in response to the
9/11 terrorist attacks. It requires financial
institutions to verify the identity of all people that do
business with them.
Customer Identification Requirements
In accordance with the USA Patriot Act, applicants for new
accounts or services are requested to provide current
picture identification that verifies identity including
name, address, social security number and other identifying
information.
In some cases, identification will be requested for current
account holders if original documentations were not obtained
with the opening of the account.
In all cases, protection of our customers’ identity and
confidentiality will be maintained as required under the
Privacy Act.
