We may, under the following circumstances, rely on the performance by another financial institution (including an affiliate) of some or all of the elements of the our customer identification program with respect to any customer that is opening an account or has established an account or similar business relationship with the other financial institution to provide or engage in services, dealings, or other financial transactions: Such reliance is reasonable under the circumstances, when the other financial institution is subject to a rule implementing the antimoney laundering compliance program requirements and is regulated by a Federal functional regulator; and when the other financial institution has entered into a contract with us requiring it to certify annually to us that it has implemented its anti-money laundering program; and that it will perform (or its agent will perform) specified requirements of the customer identification program. What happens if I don’t provide the information requested or my identity can’t be verified? Our firm may not be able to open an account or carry out transactions for you. If our firm has already opened an account for you, we may have to close it. We thank you for your patience and hope that you will support the financial industry’s efforts to deny terrorists and money launderers access to America’s financial system.
