In
order to comply with the USA Patriot Act, effective October 25, 2002, PortAlliance is
required to verify the identity of members applying for and opening new
accounts or services with the credit union. Information that we are required to
obtain include name, mailing and residential addresses, tax identification
number, date of birth and a copy of government issued photo ID. Additional data
may be gathered depending on the type of account opened. Data on existing
members will be gathered as they open or use additional services offered by the
credit union. The act requires us to maintain records of identity verification
and periodically update this information.
