The Fight Against Financial Crime
Help Protect Our Country and Our Communities
Under the federal Bank Secrecy Act, the U.S. government requires this business to ask for your name, address, government-issued identification, and other relevant information in order to complete certain transactions.
Why?
This requirement is part of the federal government's fight against money laundering and other financial crime, which allow criminals to conceal and profit from other illegal activities including drug trafficking, arms trafficking, terrorism and other types of organized crime.
How does this affect me?
Financial crimes like money laundering encourage additional crime that hurts our community and threatens our nation's security. Your cooperation with this business in its efforts to meet federal requirements is critical to the fight against these crimes.
