Why do they need my DL number to set up our TransFirst account?

PATRIOT ACT REQUIREMENTS - To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA Patriot Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person (including business entities) who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, physical address, date of birth, taxpayer identification number and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.


Your driver's license information is only needed to create the account and is not stored or a part of the account after the application is approved.
