booklets contain all the terms and conditions information as well as the specific details for each product
we offer.

1. Beginning December 1, discontinue use of old booklets and shred any remaining in branch as
they are now expired and contain inaccurate information.

2. You must discontinue separate standalone disclosures. The updated privacy policy and Select
MM special disclosure have been included in the new booklets –and will no longer be included
as uploads to Identifi with your workflows. Please shred any old privacy policies in branch.
NOTE: MM addendums are still separate disclosures and uploaded to workflows as we fill in
date and rates on those.

3. Each branch will automatically receive 50 Consumer and 50 Business disclosures to get started
and IBS will have disclosures in the portal for reordering as needed. Private Banking Disclosures
will be printed on demand as our team does not typically handle those accounts.
