Special notice regarding U.S.A. PATRIOT ACT Customer
Identification Requirements
In accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT
Act signed October 26, 2001, North American Savings Bank, F.S.B. is required
to obtain a copy of the documents used in identifying our new account
customers and in identifying signatory individuals added to an existing
or new account. In some cases, identification will be requested for those
individuals banking with the Bank prior to the effective date of the customer
identification requirements because original documentation was not obtained
with the opening of the account, or the Bank is unable to form a reasonable
belief that it knows the true identity of the existing customer. In all
cases, protection of our customer’s identity and confidentiality
is the Bank’s pledge to you.
