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 a mortgage loan account.

What this means to you:  When you open a mortgage loan 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.

The information being requested and observed is for compliance with the requirements of Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act implementing customer identification and verification requirements.  The information in no way will be used in making the credit decision on your completed application.
