Savings Accounts

On October 26, 2001, the USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law. As an obligation of this law, financial institutions are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our customers and our country.
