Additionally, we may ask for specific identification documents, such as your passport or driver’s license, or for your organization's incorporation papers. We may also obtain credit reports and other consumer data to assist in confirming your identity and assessing whether you meet our account eligibility criteria. If you do not provide the requested information and documents, we may not be able to proceed with opening your account.
