Would being an owner on a Safe Deposit Box constitute a "Continuous Banking Relationship" and therefore that customer could be considered grandfathered from CIP if they were added to the box prior to 10/1/2003?

Thank you

Yes, but to open a new account after 10/03, you would have to verify that you previously had gathered the required information under the existing customer exemption.

Sec. 1020.100 Definitions.

Refer to §1010.100 of this Chapter for general definitions not noted herein. To the extent there is a differing definition in §1010.100 of this Chapter, the definition in this Section is what applies to Part 1020. Unless otherwise indicated, for purposes of this Part:

(a) Account. For purposes of §1020.220:

(1) Account means a formal banking relationship established to provide or engage in services, dealings, or other financial transactions including a deposit account, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, or other extension of credit. Account also includes a relationship established to provide a safety deposit box or other safekeeping services, or cash management, custodian, and trust services.

We require a deposit account to debit for safe deposit box fees, therefore we have no safe deposit boxes without deposit relationships.

We take the position that it is suspicious to have a box at a bank isolated from your other banking relationships. I don't know what they are hiding or from whom, but we don't want to play.

You are apparently quoting your policy, not the regulation. We don't know what that means.
