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 apply for an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see a copy of your government-issued photo ID such as a passport or driver’s license.
