Why is Chase asking for additional information for my HSA account?
Some employees have received requests from Chase for additional
information concerning their HSA accounts.
Like any other financial institution, Chase is required to comply with
the Patriot Act. The anti-money laundering provisions of the Act
require all financial institutions to verify the identity of any
person seeking to open an account by obtaining customer identification
that includes: Name, Date of birth, Address, and Identification number
(a taxpayer identification number for American citizens or a
government-issued document for non-citizens). The regulations require:
a valid driver’s license or passport for a non-citizen, valid street
address and date of birth.
To comply with the Act, Chase may ask for copies of your driver’s
license and verification of street address, which may include copies
of utility bills.
These rules apply to any new account you may open at any financial
institution.
