We use your social security number to setup your account and verify your identity when you want to access or make changes to your account.
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 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 also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents. We may use information from third parties to help us determine if we should open your account or keep your account open.
