Account Opening and Selection Notice

Answered by:

Question:

For account opening, my bank requires a separate application, signature card, and Uniform Single-Party or Multi-Party Account Selection Notice. Is there a regulation/law/code that requires all of these to match? While auditing, I noticed POD selection and information missing from an application; however, the beneficiary has been named [properly] on the selection notice. Do I need to have the customer complete a new application?

Answer:

There is no requirement for an application for a deposit account unless dictated by State law or bank policy.
