Customer Information and Due Diligence

Merrill, like all U.S. financial institutions, is required to follow federal regulations to assist the government in its efforts to fight money laundering and other financial crimes, and to counter terrorist financing efforts in the U.S. and globally. Merrill obtains specific personal information from you in order to verify your identity; and you may be required to present documentary evidence of your identity in the form of government-issued identification. Merrill also uses third-party vendors to verify customer information. Foreign nationals who are permanent legal residents of the U.S. may be required to present a Permanent Resident Card (i.e., "green card") and a Social Security number to open an account in a U.S.-based Merrill office. Non-individuals (e.g., a business, trust or estate) must submit sufficient evidence of legal status.

In addition to verifying the identity of our customers, Merrill captures personal information on all customers and related authorized parties who have the ability to transact, control, influence or manage an account, whether directly or indirectly. Merrill, at its discretion, may elect not to accept an account, or to terminate the account agreement and the account agreements of any related parties.
