USA PATRIOT ACT
Verification of Identity
On September 11, 2001, our lives changed forever when our
country was attacked by terrorists. In an effort to
protect you and the United States of America, on October 26,
2001, President Bush signed into law the USA Patriot Act.
One section of the USA Patriot Act states
that banks must:
| 1. Verify the
identity of any person seeking to open an account
relationship or who routinely conducts other banking
transactions. This shall include but is not
limited to Loans, Deposits, Purchases of Cashier
Checks and Money Orders, Investments, Trusts and/or
Safe Deposit Boxes; |
| 2. Maintain records
of the information used to verify the person's
identity including name, address and other identifying
information. |
The Bank of Richmondville will follow this law
by obtaining picture identification and verifying other
information given by the customer.
We proudly support all efforts to protect and
maintain the security of our customers and our great
country. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly
appreciated.
