ALL legal documents for POA accounts MUST be reviewed by Call Me Direct (CMD) for approval before proceeding with opening or revising an account. See POA Document Review for details and links to the POA Affidavits.
Do not open an account or accept an application if you cannot form a reasonable belief that you know the true identity of the person seeking to open an account. Note: The Principal must be an established CCB client. Contact Call Me Direct at ext. 397100 for any questions.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document giving one person (agent or attorney-in-fact) the power to act for another person (the principal). The agent has authority to perform certain specified acts, such as transfer of funds, on behalf of the principal.
Beginning Process
- If the client is new to CCB, meet him or her in person.
- Place the Client Profile sheet facing the client. Ask the client to complete the bottom portion of the sheet, then assist the client in selecting the account that best meets his/her needs. (For more information see New Account Qualifying Questions.) Once completed, review and discuss immediate and future needs and expectations.
- Explain the account benefits including minimum balance requirements and additional services available (Fiduciary Access to Debit Cards and Online Banking Services, Bounce Protection, Mobile Banking, Zelle, and Bank Direct services).
- For product types, features, and benefits details, see the Product Knowledge Center.
- Cross-sell additional products and services to meet the client's needs using the Personal Account/Cross-Sell Information sheet.
- Discuss office locations, business hours, Instant Issue locations, ITM Locations, and CCB history.
- POA's are only accepted for existing clients, therefore request one form of primary identification. In addition, you can request the Inquiry Identification Code (IIC) from the client.
-
Carefully examine the identification for the expiration date, client’s date of birth, photograph, and signature of the client. Note: If the personal identification documentation is not provided, do not open the account. See Detecting Red Flags in ID Verification. -
