Our Privacy Policy protects the privacy of your personally identifying information that you provide to us.

USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE

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, social security number and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

In addition, all potential clients will be verified through Chexsystems and/or Business Verify to assist in the identification process and to ensure current and past bank accounts were maintained in good standings with their present and past financial institution(s).

If you would like to expedite the account opening process, our new account worksheet may be completed in advance.

NOTICE OF CHANGES IN FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

All funds in a “noninterest-bearing transaction account” are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.

The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs").  It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.

For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit www.fdic.gov.
