I. General Instructions
What is this form?
To help the government fight financial crime, federal regulation requires certain financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information
about the beneficial owners of legal entity customers. Legal entities can be abused to disguise involvement in terrorist financing, money
laundering, tax evasion, corruption, fraud, and other financial crimes. Requiring the disclosure of key individuals who ultimately own or
control a legal entity (i.e., the beneficial owners) helps law enforcement investigate and prosecute these crimes.
Who has to complete this form?
This form must be completed by the person opening a new account or maintaining business relationships on behalf of a legal entity with
any of the following U.S. financial institutions: (i) a bank or credit union; (ii) a broker or dealer in securities; (iii) a mutual fund; (iv) a futures
commission merchant; or (v) an introducing broker in commodities.
For the purposes of this form, a legal entity includes a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, and any other similar business
entity formed in the United States or a foreign country.
What information do I have to provide?
This form requires you to provide the name, address, date of birth and social security number (or passport number or other similar
information, in the case of non-U.S. persons) for the following beneficial owners:
(i) Each individual, if any, who owns, directly or indirectly, percent or more of the equity interests of the legal entity customer (e.g., each
natural person that owns percent or more of the shares of a corporation); and
(ii) An individual with significant responsibility for managing the legal entity customer (e.g., a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Chief Operating Officer, Managing Member, General Partner, President, Vice President or Treasurer).
The financial institution may also ask to see a copy of a driver’s license or other identifying document for each beneficial owner listed on this form.
