To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. This notice answers some questions about our firm's Customer Identification Program. What types of information will I need to provide? When you transact securities business with us, we may be required to collect the following information: Legal entity name Address Identification number: U.S. citizen: taxpayer identification number (employer identification number) Non-U.S. citizen: taxpayer identification number or alternative identifying documents A corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity may need to provide other information, such as its principal place of business, local office, employer identification number, certified articles of incorporation, government-issued business license, a partnership agreement or a trust agreement. U.S. Department of the Treasury, SEC, and FINRA rules already require you to provide most of this information. These rules may require you to provide additional information. What happens if I don't provide the information requested or my identity can't be verified? We may not be able to carry out transactions for you
