PROTECTING CHILDREN ON-LINE
Old Missouri Bank does not intentionally market to children,
particularly those under the age of 13. In the event we receive personal
information from a child whom we know to be under 13, we will only use
the information to respond directly to the child or seek parental
consent.
U.S. PATRIOT ACT
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 will also ask to see your driver’s license or other
identifying documents. |
