Personal Info Necessary for Check Signing?

I have employees in several states that I want to sign on one bank account. The bank is insisting that I provide personal information on the individuals. Do I have to comply with this request for DL and SSNs?


If that is what the banks requirements are, yes. Banks have a responsibility to know their customers, and even "convenience signers". This is a legal requirement for identification and not just an internal policy. Different banks may have different requirements on what they require, but the items you mention are common.
