when using online services to validate your identity using your Card Number along with a combination of the
last four (4) digits of your Social Security Number, Mother's Maiden Name, three (3) digit security code,
and the Card expiration date.

account. The opt-out designation, if elected, applies to your current portfolio of accounts. Our systems will be updated
to reflect your privacy preferences within 30 days following receipt of the request.
Customer Identification Program
In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Federal law
requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each individual or entity
opening an account. This includes all personal and commercial accounts.
What This Means To Our Customers
When you open an account, you will be asked for your name, address, social security or tax identification number, date of
birth (if applicable) and other information that will allow us to identify you. You will also be asked to furnish your
driver’s license or other identifying documents. We are required to follow this procedure each time an account is opened,
even if you are a current customer.
Thank you for helping us to follow this Federally-mandated procedure.
