| USA PATRIOT Act Information |
 
As a result of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Congress of the United States passed the USA PATRIOT Act which President George W. Bush signed into law on October 26, 2001.
This Act was passed in an effort to protect you and our country.
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, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
It is the Policy of Hudson Valley Bank to comply with this law by obtaining identification and verifying the information given by persons seeking to open accounts.
For some customers who opened accounts prior to October 26, 2002, we may request such information because original documentation was not obtained when the account was opened or to identify new signers to an existing account.
In all cases, Hudson Valley Bank will continue to protect your identity and confidentiality.
We appreciate your cooperation as we fulfill our duties under the USA PATRIOT Act.
