Customer pre-CIP - NO TAX ID or EIN - 08/26/09 01:13 PM
We have some customers who have been with the bank for many years. They were pre-CIP customers. The problem is when we are reviewing their activity and require their TAX ID, EIN - we're being told they don't have one. This particular customer is a religous organization and stated they aren't getting one either. As i understand it, there are no exemptions for churches not to have an EIN.
Has anyone else experienced this? if so, how did you handle it?
