Banks’ Customer Identification Programs (CIP):
U.S. financial institutions are required to verify the identity of every individual who opens a
bank account. In compliance with federal regulations, all banks operating in the U.S have
established Customer Identification Programs (CIP) that they are to follow for anyone who seeks
to open an account. The following is minimal information that the banks must obtain from you
before allowing you to open an account:
1. Your name
2. Your date of birth
3. Your street address - - no P.O. Box
4. An identification number **
**The identification number can be one or more of the following:
∙a taxpayer identification number (see discussion below);
∙passport number and country of issuance;
∙alien identification card number;
∙or number and country of issuance of any other government-issued document evidencing
nationality or residence and bearing a photograph or similar safeguard.”
It is important to remember that banks establish their own customer identification programs and
may ask for additional documentation than is described above because they are ultimately
responsible for establishing the identity of their customers.
Documentation to bring with you:
∙Your current passport
∙Your I-94 card
∙Your I-20, DS-2019, or 1-797 approval notice
∙Any secondary form of identification you may have
∙“Social Security Exempt Letter from OISS”

To assist you, OISS will provide you with a letter to the bank confirming your status at FDU and
asking for their assistance in opening your account.

Office of International Student Services and request a letter to take to the Social Security office.
