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 institution to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means to you:  When you open an account, we will ask you for a name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you.  We will also ask to see your driver's license and/or other identifying documents.
