IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Some companies require the use of their own forms to initiate the switch. In order to help facilitate this change from your previous account to your new Bank of Blue Ridge account, we may ask you to provide your current banking information, including a previous bank statement and any forms supplied to you by your employer or party originating the debit or credit. 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 identifi es each person who opens an account. When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that allows us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
