Important Information About Procedures for Establishing a Relationship with Ben

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 establishes a relationship or carries out a transaction with the financial institution.

What this means for you: When you establish a relationship or carry out a transaction with us, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you (or similar identifying information for entities). We may also ask to see or that you provide us with copies of your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

If you are unable or unwilling to provide this information, we may not be able to establish a relationship or carry out a transaction with you. 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.
