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.

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.
