Important information about opening a new account.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

Opening a Business Merchant Account

How to get started with your new merchant account.

When opening up a new merchant account for credit card processing you will need to provide the underwriters documentation about your business. Documentation will include articles of incorporation, voided check and ID. If you need a credit card processing terminal, you can apply for a free credit card processing machine with UBC.
