Patriot Act Notice

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

As a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Congress enacted the USA PATRIOT Act. This Act, which is designed, in part, to fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, includes a provision requiring all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What the Identification Requirements Mean for You

When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow the financial institution to identify you. They may also ask to see your driver’s license or that you provide other identifying documents. They will verify the identity information that you provide. The means of verification are varied and may include the use of credit reports and similar information sources.

Please remember that these identification requirements:

  • Are mandated by law,
  • Are intended to help combat terrorism and other attempts to use our country’s financial systems for improper purposes, and
  • Help protect you from identity theft.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) statute provides that its purpose is to require financial institutions and other firms engaged in the extension of credit to “make credit equally available to all creditworthy customers without regard to sex or marital status.” Moreover, the statute makes it unlawful for “any creditor to discriminate against any applicant with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction (1) on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex or marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract); (2) because all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program; or (3) because the applicant has, in good faith, exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.”

The ECOA has two principal theories of liability: disparate treatment and disparate impact. Disparate treatment occurs when a creditor treats an applicant differently based on a prohibited basis, such as race or national origin. Disparate impact occurs when a creditor employs facially neutral policies or practices that have an adverse effect or impact on a member of a protected class unless it meets a legitimate business need that cannot reasonably be achieved by means that are less disparate in their impact.

In keeping with the broad reach of the statute’s prohibition, the regulation covers creditor activities before, during, and after the extension of credit.

Savings Claims:

Savings claims are based on monthly payment savings alone. If approved, lower monthly payment may result from a lower interest rate, a longer term or both. A reduced monthly payment does not necessarily mean that you will pay less overall with a new loan. If you choose to extend the new term from your remaining term for more monthly savings, you may pay more in interest and have more monthly payments which will impact any savings from a reduced monthly payment.

Loan Origination Fees

Title filing/lien transfer fees apply. Depending on your state of residence, a loan origination fee may apply.
