IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT OR ESTABLISHING A NEW CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP

‍

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all U.S. financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each individual or legal entity that opens an account or establishes a customer relationship with Grasshopper Bank, N.A., Member FDIC. Federal law also requires all U.S. financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the beneficial owners of a legal entity that opens an account or establishes a customer relationship.

‍

What this means for you: If you enter into a new customer relationship with Grasshopper Bank through Karat Financial Technologies, the Firm will ask for your name, address, date of birth (as applicable) and other identification information. In addition, if you enter into a new customer relationship with Grasshopper Bank on behalf of a legal entity, we will ask for the names, addresses, dates of birth and other identification information of the beneficial owners of the legal entity. This information will be used to verify your identity and, in the case of a legal entity customer, the identity of the beneficial owners. As appropriate, the Firm may, in its discretion, ask for additional documentation or information. If all required documentation or information is not provided, Grasshopper Bank and Karat Financial may be unable to open an account or establish a relationship with you.

Karat is a financial technology company and not a bank. Banking services and the Karat Business Banking Visa® Card are provided by Grasshopper Bank, N.A., Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. The FDIC’s deposit insurance only protects against the failure of an FDIC-insured bank.  

The Karat Visa® Business Credit Card is issued by Cross River Bank, Member FDIC, under a separate license from Visa U.S.A. Inc.

Deposit placement through ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures in the applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured  (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi and ICS are registered service marks, and IntraFi Cash Service is a service mark, of IntraFi Network LLC.
