Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you pull credit for new deposit account applications?

Under the requirements of the Patriot Act, all banks must do an identity check on a new customer. They use "customer identification programs" (CIP) that compare your name, address, date of birth, and other facts to the information contained on your credit report. Your credit score will not be damaged by that step.

The CIP regulations require institutions to implement reasonable procedures for verifying the identity of any person seeking to open an account, to the extent that is reasonable and practicable.
