BACKGROUND
USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required
to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act)
USA PATRIOT Act is an amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act that was signed by President Bush on
October 26, 2001. One (1) of the primary purposes of the USA PATRIOT Act is to “increase the strength
of the United States measures to prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering and the
financing of terrorism”.
OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control)
OFAC is a division of the US Department of the Treasury. It administers a series of laws that impose
economic sanctions and trade embargoes against hostile targets, including designated foreign countries,
individuals, and entities, to further US foreign policy and national security objectives.
Additional information on how to comply with OFAC is located in BOM section O-500 - Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC).
PROCEDURES

CLIENT IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM (CIP) – KNOW YOUR CLIENT
Based on passage of the 1992 Annunzio-Wylie Money Laundering Act (Pub. L. No. 102-550); Financial
Institutions were encouraged to implement a "Know Your Client" policy. With the passage of the USA
PATRIOT Act in 2001, financial institutions were required to implement a Client Identification Program
(CIP.) The CIP is a means to identify, verify, and retain information on new account relationships, and
enhances BB&T's existing "Know Your Client" policy.
BB&T must be satisfied that our records contain the necessary information concerning the true identity of
the person for whom the transaction is conducted in order to complete a Currency Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Incident Report (SIR), if required. The SIR must be filed within twenty-four (24)
hours of detection/notification of the potentially suspicious activity. Refer to BOM section S-947 -
Suspicious Incident Reporting (SIR) to view additional procedures.
To ensure that you "Know Your Client", accounts must be opened with a valid Tax Identification Number
(TIN) (i.e., social security number (SSN) for Sole Proprietor or employer identification number (EIN) for
business entity). It is the policy of BB&T that we will not open accounts for clients who cannot provide a
SSN/EIN or any of the additional three (3) pieces of information required as dictated in the “REQUIRED
INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS ENTITY” category in this publication. The client record; Customer
Information File (CIF) must always have a physical address, not a PO Box.
Foreign established entities are required to complete one (1) of the W-8 forms. Along with the completed
form W-8, foreign entities are required to provide document(s) that substantiate that they are
organized/incorporated outside the U.S. Usually, they would complete the W-8 BEN. Refer to BOM
section I-968 - IRS/Non Resident Alien (NRA) Documentation to view instructions on completing the W-
8BEN and additional procedures. There are also forms W-8ECI, W-8EXP and W-8IMY. Should the client
need a form other than the W-8BEN, contact IRS/Regulatory Compliance at (910) 272-4270. For
additional information regarding Foreign entities, refer to the FOREIGN/INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTS
category of this publication.
When opening new deposit accounts or assisting in the receipt of additional deposits received from or
withdrawals being sent to countries identified by the United States Treasury's Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as having inadequate counter money laundering programs, staff should
understand the legitimate business purpose behind the transaction. Staff should give enhanced scrutiny
to the transactions or banking relationships that do not involve established, and adequately identified and
understood, commercial or investment enterprises. Nothing contained in these advisories is intended to
curtail legitimate business transactions involving these countries, or businesses organized or domiciled,
or persons maintaining accounts in these countries.
Refer to BOM section S-947 - Suspicious Incident Reporting (SIR) for instructions on accessing the list of
countries identified by FinCEN that have insufficient counter money laundering programs and information
regarding the completion of a SIR for all transactions that do not appear to have a legitimate business
purpose using the dollar thresholds and guidelines.
Should an associate have additional questions about how to complete the SIR; contact the Area
Operations Officer (AOO) Hub, AOO Consultant, AOO Compliance, AOO Branch Team Leader (AOO
BTL), Regional Branch Operations Manager (RBOM) or the Regional Investigator.

OFFSITE CLIENT CONTACT
When visiting with potential clients away from Bank facilities, the Business Service Officer (BSO), Market
President (MP), Regional President (RP), Market Leader (ML) or other associate should complete the
following BB&T documents:
 New Business Account Information Sheet;
 Resolution and Agreement for Deposit Account or Authorization Agreement for Deposit Account
(applicable to foreign/international accounts); and
 BB&T signature card.
When the client signs the signature card, he/she will verify the accuracy of the information that has been
recorded on the records of the Bank.
Refer to Section X category for a list of other required supplies needed to establish business accounts
offsite.
The completed documents listed above should then be given to a branch associate to key the new
account on Client Central.
It is recommended that the branch associate who opens the account should obtain the signature of the
approving officer on the signature card. The approving officer will sign (first initial and last name) in the
"Approved By" field on the signature card.
NOTE: Associates must not accept deposits outside of the branch due to Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) restrictions.
REQUIRED INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS ENTITY
Business documentary verification is the use of documents that show the existence of the entity. The
USA PATRIOT Act requires the following information be obtained to establish an account:
1. Client’s Legal Name (as it appears on the identification provided by the client).
2. Physical Address – PO Box is not acceptable except for mailing address.
3. EIN (for US Entity/Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or other Government issued number for a
Non US Entity). Social Security Number may be accepted for a sole proprietorship.
4. Identification Information.
If the client does not have the required “Information”, refuses to provide the required “Information”, or
presents information that contains discrepancies (see explanation for discrepancies below) that cannot
be resolved; DO NOT OPEN THE ACCOUNT.
A new business client must provide a TIN and present a valid form of identification (e.g., a Business
License or Certificate of Existence, etc.). The form of identification used is to be documented on the
generated signature card.

The documents listed below are intended to be used as a guide for client identification and is not intended
to be all inclusive. Documents are obtained as follows:
 Articles of Incorporation - Normally prepared by an Attorney and filed with an appropriate
government agency.
 Business License – Issued and registered by an appropriate government agency; local municipality
or county where the business is being conducted.
 Certificate of Existence - Issued by an appropriate government agency.
 Certificate of Foreign Corporation – If the business’s primary operation is located in a different
state, then a Certificate of Foreign (out-of state) Corporation to conduct business can be accepted.
 Certificate of Good Standing - Issued by an appropriate government agency. If the Certificate of
Good Standing indicates that the client is not in good standing, BB&T should not open the
account until the situation is remedied.
 DUNS # (Date Universal Numbering System) - Issued by Dun & Bradstreet.
 Secretary of State ID – Issued by Secretary of State (where applicable).
 Trust Agreement* – BB&T does not read Trust Agreements.
*NOTE: Branch associates will establish the accounts after completion of the BB&T Trust
Certification.

Documents that are required by BB&T, such as Resolution and Agreement for Deposit Account,
Authorization Agreement for Deposit Account (Foreign/International Business accounts only), BB&T Trust
Certification or BB&T Escrow Agent Certification are not affected by CIP. The client must still complete
BB&T’s documents according to each line of business procedures.
ADDITIONAL KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (KYC) INFORMATION
The following two (2) pieces of additional information are important to our KYC efforts and attempts to
collect this information should be made when establishing an account:
1. Telephone Number of the Business, and
2. Business Type/Organization.
VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE BUSINESS OWNER
Information collected about the business owner is called identifying information. If the business is a
new business or the documentation about the business is unfamiliar to the branch associate, additional
information identifying ownership would be required. Refer to sub-section titled Social Security Numbers
& ChexSystems Report for instructions on when to request a Social Security Number.
NOTE: Branch associates must take appropriate steps to authenticate that the person is who
he/she claims to be and that he/she has the authority to sign or conduct transactions
on behalf of the business. Before opening a new deposit account for an existing
client, branch associates must verify the existing business resolution (i.e., BB&T
Resolution And Agreement For Deposit Account, BB&T Authorization Agreement For
Deposit Account, the business corporate resolution) currently on file to ensure the
person opening the account is a designated representative.
When verifying the identity of the owner or a signer through the use of a government-issued document, it
is called documentary verification. Examine the document to ensure that it is not expired, check for
obvious alterations, compare the address and date of birth to the information provided by the client,
compare the picture to the client; when applicable, and compare the signatures.
If unfamiliar with the ID presented, refer to the I.D. Checking Guide for the United States and Canada. If
there is still uncertainty or validity of the document is questionable, refer to the ML, Branch Banker Team
Leader (BBTL), AOO, AOO Consultant, AOO Compliance or AOO Branch Team Leader (AOO BTL) for
assistance and approval.
NOTE: Some state and federal documents are issued without a picture. Review the current
I.D. Checking Guide for the United States and Canada to determine proper description
of the item used for identification that is absent of a picture.

If documents are unavailable or unfamiliar, then a non-documentary verification method may be used to
support or enhance the documentary method. A non-documentary method is one (1) in which we verify
the client's identifying information through means other than a government-issued document. Examples
of non-documentary verification:
 Using a third party reporting agency (i.e., ChexSystems, credit bureau or LexisNexis).
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) ADDRESS VERIFICATION
Refer to Deposit Account Policy to view the Policy.
Refer to Client Information File (CIF) Address Standards to view the Standards.
Branch associates must ensure that the address information provided by the client includes the correct
street number, street name, city, state and zip code when the client's address is keyed on Client Central.
ELECTRONIC CLIENT IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM (E-CIP)
Refer the Bank Secrecy Act Policy to view the Policy.
E-CIP allows the branch associate to perform a verification of identity when there are no other acceptable
forms of ID available. After the branch associate has gathered the client’s business name, business
physical address, and TIN/EIN. Click the “Send for Verification” option listed under Primary ID within
Client Central. Once the client has been properly identified using the “Send for Verification”, proceed with
the account opening process as usual.
The E-CIP involves sending a real-time request to an outside vendor to perform an electronic
identification of the client. This feature allows the branch associate to perform a verification of identity -
only when opening a new account - when there are no other preferred forms of ID available. This option
may be used only after you have attempted to obtain preferred forms of ID when opening the account.
NOTE: The E-CIP “Send for Verification” option is not to replace the branch associate’s due
diligence in attempting to obtain proper ID from the client. Branch associates should
always attempt to obtain preferred ID before attempting to E-CIP a client. There is an
additional cost to the bank when this option is used. Due to the additional cost, the
use of this option will be monitored.
Branch associates can refer to CIP Client Identification Quick Reference Guide to view training material
relating to the E-CIP process.
Follow-up on information provided during the account opening process within twenty-four (24) hours to
include the following steps:
 It is recommended to drive by the business location, and
 Perform a reverse look up from Yellow Pages. Refer to the Yellow Pages to perform a search.
 Perform a Google search of the address, business name and business owner and provide client
information to the ML for a follow-up site visit.

NOTE: The branch associate is not required to verify the identity of a government entity (e.g.,
City of Wilson, Commonwealth of Virginia, etc.).
CIP DISCREPANCY FOUND AT ACCOUNT OPENING
CIP Discrepancy occurs when information provided by the client does not agree with the information on
the identification document provided by the client. When the branch associate identifies a discrepancy,
the discrepancy type must be indicated: Name, Address, TIN/EIN. Any discrepancy must be
documented on the Client Central “Primary Identification” screen.
Should the branch associate select “No” to the following field, “Does the ID match the information
provided by the client?”, the branch associate will be required to complete the applicable fields indicating
the information that does not match as well as the explanation for the difference(s).
Example: Client presently operating business from home garage will move to new location at completion
of new building (estimated to be 10/05/2015).
If a CIP discrepancy cannot be fully explained, refer to the ML, BBTL, AOO, AOO Consultant, AOO
Compliance or AOO BTL for assistance and approval.
CIP DISCREPANCY FOUND AFTER ACCOUNT OPENING
In the event that a deposit account or safe deposit box is opened with a discrepancy, the account
opening officer will have up to forty-five (45) days from the account opening date to resolve the
discrepancy. If the issue is not resolved within the allowed time frame of forty-five (45) days, a
review by CIP Management of the account/safe deposit box will take place and account/safe
deposit box closing procedures will be started.
IDENTIFICATION TYPES
Branch associates are required to view all identification. Do not select or key any identification without
having viewed the documentation. Opening accounts in this manner poses a potential exception to
federal regulations.
All information must be keyed on CIF. All clients must be present.
Some state and federal documents are issued without a picture. Review the current I.D. Checking Guide
for the United States and Canada to determine proper description of the item used for identification that is
absent of a picture.
If the client does not have proper identification, the account cannot be opened. The Regional CIP
Contact or AOO Hub is available to assist with situations when proper identification does not seem to be
readily available. The Regional CIP Contact or AOO Hub can also work with CIP Management to obtain
proper identification from the client.

Refer to Credit Bureau/Consumer Reporting Standards to view the Standards.
The credit bureau may be used to approve an individual as an account owner and identify referral
opportunities. Only certain business class codes systematically go through the credit bureau. The credit
bureau may return certain alerts, notifications, or warnings that the bank must consider Red Flags. A
Red Flag is a pattern, practice, or specific activity that indicates the possible existence of identity theft.
An account can be declined due to Red Flag alert(s) from the credit bureau.
If a Red Flag Alert is received, the branch associate must select the appropriate override reason from
Client Central. Refer to the Red Flag Alerts Quick Reference Guide to view Red Flag alerts and
determine appropriate override reason. If approval is required, “ML/AOO Approval” will be selected in
Client Central. The associate must contact ML/BBTL/AOO/AOO Compliance/AOO Consultant/AOO
BTL/RBOM for approval. Once approval has been granted, associate will enter approver’s User ID in
Client Central. A system generated email will be sent to the approver. These emails must be monitored
by approving officer who is responsible for correcting the account and/or client if override was completed
without proper approval. A CIF Comment will automatically be created, based on the override reason
selected to document the Red Flag override.
If a business owner is declined due to his/her credit bureau or ChexSystems information, the Statement
of Denial form will automatically print. The printed form should be given to the client.

Section II – Existing Clients
Refer to the Bank Secrecy Act Policy to view the Policy.
An existing Client is an individual that has maintained an active, ongoing CIP applicable account
relationship with the Bank prior to 10/1/03.
CIP Identification information, in most cases will be systematically populated in the CIF record for
business (Commercial) clients meeting the BB&T definition of an “Existing Client”. Business clients that
have been identified in this manner will not be required to present a driver’s license or other form of ID
when establishing a new account, as long as they maintain an ongoing relationship with BB&T.
Branch associates are responsible for ensuring the existence and accuracy of all identifying information
for existing clients when adding new accounts. Any missing or incorrect information must be corrected
prior to adding the new account.
It is still the responsibility of the branch associate to ensure that he/she "Know Your Client", if unfamiliar
with the “Existing Client” relationship, request proper identification.

REMOTELY CREATED CHECK (RCC)
A Remotely Created Check (RCC), also known as a paper draft, demand draft or a tele-check, is a
check created by a seller with a buyer's checking account number on it, but without the buyer's signature.
In place of the signature, the check generally has verbiage such as "authorized by drawer (the buyer)” or
bears the client’s printed or typed name. The seller deposits the check into his/her bank account, and the
check then clears out of the buyer's account.
RCCs are frequently used to purchase items over the phone, from telemarketers, or via the web. The
checks also allow consumers to pay monthly bills by having them debited automatically out of his/her
accounts, rather than having to write a new check each month. RCCs are frequently used by consumers
instead of card payments, and large companies also commonly use them. RCCs may be viewed as a
substitute for ACH debits and card payments.
Refer to Remotely Created Checks (RCCs) Quick Reference Guide to view additional documentation.
Follow other new account opening procedures as outlined in this section.
UNLAWFUL INTERNET GAMBLING ENFORCEMENT ACT (UIGEA) – REGULATION GG
Regulation GG (12 CFR Part 233) implements the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006;
this implementation was enacted at BB&T on June 1, 2010. The act prohibits any person engaged in the
business of betting or wagering (as defined in the act) from knowingly accepting payments in connection
with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. Such transactions are termed
“restricted transactions.” The act generally defines “unlawful Internet gambling” as placing, receiving, or
otherwise knowingly transmitting a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of
the Internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable federal or state law in the state or
tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made.
Refer to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) Reg GG Quick Reference Guide to

BACKGROUND USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act) USA PATRIOT Act is an amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act that was signed by President Bush on October 26, 2001. One (1) of the primary purposes of the USA PATRIOT Act is to “increase the strength of the United States measures to prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism”. OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) OFAC is a division of the US Department of the Treasury. It administers a series of laws that impose economic sanctions and trade embargoes against hostile targets, including designated foreign countries, individuals, and entities, to further US foreign policy and national security objectives. Additional information on how to comply with OFAC is located in BOM section O-500 - Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). PROCEDURES Refer to the Bank Secrecy Act Policy to view the Policy.
  • 3. 08/01/16 A-129B Account Opening-Business/Client Identification Program (CIP) Page 3 of 23 ........................................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... Last Revised 08/01/16 A-129B Last Reviewed 12/01/15 Account Opening-Business/Client Identification Program (CIP) Page 3 of 23 CLIENT IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM (CIP) – KNOW YOUR CLIENT Based on passage of the 1992 Annunzio-Wylie Money Laundering Act (Pub. L. No. 102-550); Financial Institutions were encouraged to implement a "Know Your Client" policy. With the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act in 2001, financial institutions were required to implement a Client Identification Program (CIP.) The CIP is a means to identify, verify, and retain information on new account relationships, and enhances BB&T's existing "Know Your Client" policy. BB&T must be satisfied that our records contain the necessary information concerning the true identity of the person for whom the transaction is conducted in order to complete a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) and Suspicious Incident Report (SIR), if required. The SIR must be filed within twenty-four (24) hours of detection/notification of the potentially suspicious activity. Refer to BOM section S-947 - Suspicious Incident Reporting (SIR) to view additional procedures. To ensure that you "Know Your Client", accounts must be opened with a valid Tax Identification Number (TIN) (i.e., social security number (SSN) for Sole Proprietor or employer identification number (EIN) for business entity). It is the policy of BB&T that we will not open accounts for clients who cannot provide a SSN/EIN or any of the additional three (3) pieces of information required as dictated in the “REQUIRED INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS ENTITY” category in this publication. The client record; Customer Information File (CIF) must always have a physical address, not a PO Box. Foreign established entities are required to complete one (1) of the W-8 forms. Along with the completed form W-8, foreign entities are required to provide document(s) that substantiate that they are organized/incorporated outside the U.S. Usually, they would complete the W-8 BEN. Refer to BOM section I-968 - IRS/Non Resident Alien (NRA) Documentation to view instructions on completing the W- 8BEN and additional procedures. There are also forms W-8ECI, W-8EXP and W-8IMY. Should the client need a form other than the W-8BEN, contact IRS/Regulatory Compliance at (910) 272-4270. For additional information regarding Foreign entities, refer to the FOREIGN/INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTS category of this publication. When opening new deposit accounts or assisting in the receipt of additional deposits received from or withdrawals being sent to countries identified by the United States Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as having inadequate counter money laundering programs, staff should understand the legitimate business purpose behind the transaction. Staff should give enhanced scrutiny to the transactions or banking relationships that do not involve established, and adequately identified and understood, commercial or investment enterprises. Nothing contained in these advisories is intended to curtail legitimate business transactions involving these countries, or businesses organized or domiciled, or persons maintaining accounts in these countries. Refer to BOM section S-947 - Suspicious Incident Reporting (SIR) for instructions on accessing the list of countries identified by FinCEN that have insufficient counter money laundering programs and information regarding the completion of a SIR for all transactions that do not appear to have a legitimate business purpose using the dollar thresholds and guidelines. Should an associate have additional questions about how to complete the SIR; contact the Area Operations Officer (AOO) Hub, AOO Consultant, AOO Compliance, AOO Branch Team Leader (AOO BTL), Regional Branch Operations Manager (RBOM) or the Regional Investigator.

Last Revised 08/01/16 A-129B Last Reviewed 12/01/15 Account Opening-Business/Client Identification Program (CIP) Page 4 of 23 OFFSITE CLIENT CONTACT When visiting with potential clients away from Bank facilities, the Business Service Officer (BSO), Market President (MP), Regional President (RP), Market Leader (ML) or other associate should complete the following BB&T documents:  New Business Account Information Sheet;  Resolution and Agreement for Deposit Account or Authorization Agreement for Deposit Account (applicable to foreign/international accounts); and  BB&T signature card. When the client signs the signature card, he/she will verify the accuracy of the information that has been recorded on the records of the Bank. Refer to Section X category for a list of other required supplies needed to establish business accounts offsite. The completed documents listed above should then be given to a branch associate to key the new account on Client Central. It is recommended that the branch associate who opens the account should obtain the signature of the approving officer on the signature card. The approving officer will sign (first initial and last name) in the "Approved By" field on the signature card. NOTE: Associates must not accept deposits outside of the branch due to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) restrictions. REQUIRED INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS ENTITY Business documentary verification is the use of documents that show the existence of the entity. The USA PATRIOT Act requires the following information be obtained to establish an account: 1. Client’s Legal Name (as it appears on the identification provided by the client). 2. Physical Address – PO Box is not acceptable except for mailing address. 3. EIN (for US Entity/Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or other Government issued number for a Non US Entity). Social Security Number may be accepted for a sole proprietorship. 4. Identification Information. If the client does not have the required “Information”, refuses to provide the required “Information”, or presents information that contains discrepancies (see explanation for discrepancies below) that cannot be resolved; DO NOT OPEN THE ACCOUNT. A new business client must provide a TIN and present a valid form of identification (e.g., a Business License or Certificate of Existence, etc.). The form of identification used is to be documented on the generated signature card.

If the Certificate of Good Standing indicates that the client is not in good standing, BB&T should not open the account until the situation is remedied.  DUNS # (Date Universal Numbering System) - Issued by Dun & Bradstreet.  Secretary of State ID – Issued by Secretary of State (where applicable).  Trust Agreement* – BB&T does not read Trust Agreements. *NOTE: Branch associates will establish the accounts after completion of the BB&T Trust Certification.

The client must still complete BB&T’s documents according to each line of business procedures. ADDITIONAL KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (KYC) INFORMATION The following two (2) pieces of additional information are important to our KYC efforts and attempts to collect this information should be made when establishing an account: 1. Telephone Number of the Business, and 2. Business Type/Organization. VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE BUSINESS OWNER Information collected about the business owner is called identifying information. If the business is a new business or the documentation about the business is unfamiliar to the branch associate, additional information identifying ownership would be required. Refer to sub-section titled Social Security Numbers & ChexSystems Report for instructions on when to request a Social Security Number. NOTE: Branch associates must take appropriate steps to authenticate that the person is who he/she claims to be and that he/she has the authority to sign or conduct transactions on behalf of the business. Before opening a new deposit account for an existing client, branch associates must verify the existing business resolution (i.e., BB&T Resolution And Agreement For Deposit Account, BB&T Authorization Agreement For Deposit Account, the business corporate resolution) currently on file to ensure the person opening the account is a designated representative. When verifying the identity of the owner or a signer through the use of a government-issued document, it is called documentary verification. Examine the document to ensure that it is not expired, check for obvious alterations, compare the address and date of birth to the information provided by the client, compare the picture to the client; when applicable, and compare the signatures. If unfamiliar with the ID presented, refer to the I.D. Checking Guide for the United States and Canada. If there is still uncertainty or validity of the document is questionable, refer to the ML, Branch Banker Team Leader (BBTL), AOO, AOO Consultant, AOO Compliance or AOO Branch Team Leader (AOO BTL) for assistance and approval. NOTE: Some state and federal documents are issued without a picture. Review the current I.D. Checking Guide for the United States and Canada to determine proper description of the item used for identification that is absent of a picture.

A non-documentary method is one (1) in which we verify the client's identifying information through means other than a government-issued document. Examples of non-documentary verification:  Using a third party reporting agency (i.e., ChexSystems, credit bureau or LexisNexis). UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) ADDRESS VERIFICATION Refer to Deposit Account Policy to view the Policy. Refer to Client Information File (CIF) Address Standards to view the Standards. Branch associates must ensure that the address information provided by the client includes the correct street number, street name, city, state and zip code when the client's address is keyed on Client Central. ELECTRONIC CLIENT IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM (E-CIP) Refer the Bank Secrecy Act Policy to view the Policy. E-CIP allows the branch associate to perform a verification of identity when there are no other acceptable forms of ID available. After the branch associate has gathered the client’s business name, business physical address, and TIN/EIN. Click the “Send for Verification” option listed under Primary ID within Client Central. Once the client has been properly identified using the “Send for Verification”, proceed with the account opening process as usual. The E-CIP involves sending a real-time request to an outside vendor to perform an electronic identification of the client. This feature allows the branch associate to perform a verification of identity - only when opening a new account - when there are no other preferred forms of ID available. This option may be used only after you have attempted to obtain preferred forms of ID when opening the account. NOTE: The E-CIP “Send for Verification” option is not to replace the branch associate’s due diligence in attempting to obtain proper ID from the client. Branch associates should always attempt to obtain preferred ID before attempting to E-CIP a client. There is an additional cost to the bank when this option is used. Due to the additional cost, the use of this option will be monitored. Branch associates can refer to CIP Client Identification Quick Reference Guide to view training material relating to the E-CIP process. Follow-up on information provided during the account opening process within twenty-four (24) hours to include the following steps:  It is recommended to drive by the business location, and  Perform a reverse look up from Yellow Pages. Refer to the Yellow Pages to perform a search.  Perform a Google search of the address, business name and business owner and provide client information to the ML for a follow-up site visit.

CIP DISCREPANCY FOUND AT ACCOUNT OPENING CIP Discrepancy occurs when information provided by the client does not agree with the information on the identification document provided by the client. When the branch associate identifies a discrepancy, the discrepancy type must be indicated: Name, Address, TIN/EIN. Any discrepancy must be documented on the Client Central “Primary Identification” screen. Should the branch associate select “No” to the following field, “Does the ID match the information provided by the client?”, the branch associate will be required to complete the applicable fields indicating the information that does not match as well as the explanation for the difference(s). Example: Client presently operating business from home garage will move to new location at completion of new building (estimated to be 10/05/2015). If a CIP discrepancy cannot be fully explained, refer to the ML, BBTL, AOO, AOO Consultant, AOO Compliance or AOO BTL for assistance and approval. CIP DISCREPANCY FOUND AFTER ACCOUNT OPENING In the event that a deposit account or safe deposit box is opened with a discrepancy, the account opening officer will have up to forty-five (45) days from the account opening date to resolve the discrepancy. If the issue is not resolved within the allowed time frame of forty-five (45) days, a review by CIP Management of the account/safe deposit box will take place and account/safe deposit box closing procedures will be started. IDENTIFICATION TYPES Branch associates are required to view all identification. Do not select or key any identification without having viewed the documentation. Opening accounts in this manner poses a potential exception to federal regulations. All information must be keyed on CIF. All clients must be present. Some state and federal documents are issued without a picture. Review the current I.D. Checking Guide for the United States and Canada to determine proper description of the item used for identification that is absent of a picture. If the client does not have proper identification, the account cannot be opened. The Regional CIP Contact or AOO Hub is available to assist with situations when proper identification does not seem to be readily available. The Regional CIP Contact or AOO Hub can also work with CIP Management to obtain proper identification from the client.

The seller deposits the check into his/her bank account, and the check then clears out of the buyer's account. RCCs are frequently used to purchase items over the phone, from telemarketers, or via the web. The checks also allow consumers to pay monthly bills by having them debited automatically out of his/her accounts, rather than having to write a new check each month. RCCs are frequently used by consumers instead of card payments, and large companies also commonly use them. RCCs may be viewed as a substitute for ACH debits and card payments.

The Business Classification is a required field and must be completed in the Client Central application to continue with account opening. In addition to Business Classification, a selection must be made for the Industry Code which is in the same area of the Client Central application as the Business Classification. Branch associates must enter the Business Classification and Industry Code for all new or existing business clients when a new account is opened, a new loan is originated, or when a new or existing business client is being added to an existing Deposit account. The Business Classification and Industry Code are required to recognize businesses that may be considered high risk. Select the required Business Classification in the Business Client Profile; the list of classifications is indicated in the drop down box. Below the Business Classification, select the Industry Code. The list of available Industry Codes is indicated in the associated drop down box(es). In all cases, select the option from each list that best describes the type of business for the business client. To view instructions, refer to the Business Classification and Industry Codes via the Online Resource Manual. To view the Business Classification and Industry Codes refer to the Industry Code Report. Once the Business Classification and Industry Code are established by the branch associate, the classification may not be changed. If the Business Classification or Industry Code needs to be modified, the branch associate must send an email to EDDInquiries@bbandt.com. The email must contain the following three (3) pieces of information: 1. Business Name; 2. Tax Identification Number (TIN); and 3. Business type/description.
