On some occasions, we will need your Proof of Residence to ensure that we comply with AML and other regulations as a financial institution. Ensuring your residential location is also an important step in establishing your eligibility for various benefits, services, and programs that have residency requirements. We kindly remind you that failure to provide valid proof of address may impact your ability to access some of our valuable services.
If you've recently moved, we kindly ask that you update your address with us as soon as possible. This simple step will ensure that your proof of address documents are accurate and up-to-date.
Submitting fraudulent or inaccurate proof of address can lead to serious legal consequences, such as fines or criminal charges. It is important to take the time to gather the necessary documents and ensure their proof of address is both current and legitimate.
Types and Formats of Accepted Proof of Residence Documents
A valid proof of address should be a recent document, no older than three months, to accurately reflect your current residential status. We kindly request that you double-check the legibility and condition of your submitted documents. Clear, undamaged documents are essential in ensuring they are accepted as valid proof of address.
It is acceptable to cover some sensitive information, for example - social security number, credit card number, or similar. Please be advised that to verify the legitimacy of each document it must be as lightly redacted as possible. In the case of documents that were issued by banks, the following details must be uncovered:
The bank's name and full address
The SWIFT code of the bank
Your full legal name, address, account number
The account statement period and the issue date of the document
