The authority to make these changes is granted to the Corporate Signers designated in the account’s Constitutive Documents. Every effort should be made for these constitutive documents to be clear and concise with explicit language establishing authority. This is especially important to meet the various regulatory requirements imposed by some jurisdictions.
Corporate Signers are authorized per Bank Mandates, Powers of Attorney, Commercial Registers or other similar authority documentation to legally bind the Customer and to act on behalf of the Customer to open, close and maintain Accounts.
Operating Signers are designated by Corporate Signers or as may be listed in the Bank Mandate, or other authority documentation to legally bind the customer to perform any action to credit, debit, or otherwise operate or act on the Customer Account listed herein in relation to all services provided by the Bank, subject to any restrictions set opposite their name below. Examples of such actions may include, but are not limited to, issuing, or signing checks, stop payment instructions, or any other relevant Account operating instructions. Please note, actions or instructions provided in CitiDirect online banking, CitiConnect and Manually Initiated Funds Transfer (MIFT) are excluded from the powers provided to Operating Signers delegated on this form.
To ensure the safety of the financial system, regulators require that signers provide proof of identity. Typically, this is done through identity documents such as passports and driver's license. Some jurisdictions require additional information such as fingerprints or proof of residence (e.g. utility bills). Citi then uses a signature on a signature card to prove identity when transactions are made.
You will be provided a Documentation Specialist to help you understand the documentation requirements as you complete your account management processes throughout the entire account lifecycle.
