What this means for you: When you open a Card Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
When you are applying for the card make sure to use your home address and not work address or P.O. Box so that we are able to verify your identity.
