Legal Notices Privacy Policy Business Continuity Plan Terms of Use Customer Identification Notice		Important Information Regarding Procedures for Opening New Accounts at SVB Securities On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the USA PATRIOT Act, which was designed to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and international money laundering activities. As a result, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies all new clients opening accounts. SVB Securities (SVBS) fully complies with these regulations. Accordingly, when you open an account with SVBS you will be asked to provide specific information that will allow SVBS to identify the account owner(s). Required information includes name, address, and other information that will allow us to identify you. For individual accounts, a date of birth is also required. Additionally, SVBS will ask to examine identification and/or documents to confirm the identity of the prospective account owner(s). In some instances, SVBS may also request more detailed personal information and examine the identification of the agents on a business account. SVBS will rely on its affiliate, Silicon Valley Bank, for this additional information, whenever possible. Under the law, SVBS cannot open an account until the required documentation is furnished and verified. In all cases, SVB Securities' highest priority is protecting a client's identity and confidentiality. Thank you for choosing SVB Securities to provide you with investment services.
