       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. What this means for you: When you open
       an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth or other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask
       for your driver's license or other identifying documents.
       California Residents:
           If you are married, you may apply for a separate account.
       Ohio Residents:
           The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make credit equally available to all creditworthy customers, and
           that credit reporting agencies maintain separate credit histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights
           Commission administers compliance with this law.
       New York, Rhode Island and Vermont Residents:

           credit. Upon request, we will tell you the name and address of any consumer-reporting agency that furnished a report on you.
