Beneficial Ownership Certification Form - 06/22/22 05:08 PM
I am currently in the process of getting a BSA/AML Program established for a new bank. I have a question on the Beneficial Ownership Certification form. I have seen these forms with 2 different versions of the signed acknowledgement:
I, ______________ (name of natural person opening account), hereby certify, to the best of my knowledge, that th3e information provided above is complete and correct.
AND
I, ______________ (name of natural person opening account), hereby certify, to the best of my knowledge, that th3e information provided above is complete and correct. I agree to notify the financial institution of any change in such information.
I personally like the second one, with the added statement; however, I don't think that is a required statement. Our Core system uses the first version and I don't think I can get them to change it unless I can tell them it is required by regulation.
I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!
