A Beneficial Owner is:

Check MarkEach individual who owns 25% or more of the company.

Check MarkOne individual who has significant managerial responsibility for the company.

Why We Need this Information

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.

 Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act requires that financial institutions identify and verify the identity of the beneficial owners of all legal entity customers at the time a new account is opened, maintenance an account or apply for a service. The identification and verification procedures for beneficial owners are very similar to those you currently follow as individual customers. 

When you open an account, maintenance an account or apply for a service, we will ask you to identify the beneficial owners of your company. You will need to provide the following for each beneficial owner that will allow us to identify and verify the identities of your beneficial owners:

Check MarkName

Check MarkStreet Address

Check MarkSocial Security Number/ITIN

Acceptable Forms of Identification:
