IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
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 to 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 may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
Please include the following upon submission of these account forms:
FOR US CITIZENS - A copy of your driver's license, state issued ID card, passport, utility bill or similar documents. You must include at least one document with a number and your signature.
FOR NON-US PERSONS - A copy of a passport, driver's license, valid government issued ID card or similar documents. You must include at least one document with a number and your signature.
FOR ENTITIES SUCH AS CORPORATIONS OR PARTNERSHIPS - Articles of incorporation, good standing certificates, partnership agreements, business licenses or similar documents.
We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
The Joss Report was first published as a traders' commodity newsletter in 2000. Since that time, our research has continued to evolve into an important source of technical insight for many commodity brokers and futures traders.
