Important Information About New Procedures for Opening an Account

Mandated by the Patriot Act

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA Patriot Act, a federal law, requires all financial institutions to obtain, 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, physical address, date for birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to copy your driver's license or other identifying documents.

  Elkhart State Bank would like to ask all of their customers to send us your email addresses. We are continually striving for a better level of service. Customized messages and greater correspondence is possible through email. Let us serve you better!
