If you are under age 18, you will need a parent or guardian to complete your application. Need help? Call 813-871-2690 with any questions or for assistance in opening an account.
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain a completed Certification Regarding Beneficial Ownership of Legal Entity Customers, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for 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.
