Important Information About Opening An Account
On September 11, 2001, our lives changed forever. In an effort to protect you and our country, the USA PATRIOT ACT was signed into law. 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. We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our customers and our country. When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see your drivers license or other identifying documents.
You authorize Dedham Savings to obtain a consumer report on you for the purpose of verification of your identity and information that you have provided to us. Upon request, you agree to provide personal identification, such as a driver’s license, when conducting certain transactions. For deposit accounts, Dedham Savings may obtain any credit reference necessary, including but not limited to ChexSystems.
Electronic Signatures
