Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an 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 your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
4. No Responsibility for Decisions Made by Funders
Mantis does not take or complete applications for funding on behalf of any Funder other than Mantis Funding LLC. Mantis Funding LLC does not issue commitments on behalf of any Funder other than Mantis Funding LLC. Neither Money Matters Now LLC nor Crest Hill Capital LLC makes funding commitments on behalf of Mantis Funding LLC or any other Funder.
A Funding Application constitutes an inquiry to be matched with Funders interested in obtaining funding applications from Customer and will be deemed “completed” only when all required Documents and Information have been submitted as determined by the relevant Funder.
A Funder selected by the Customer may require Customer to pay an application or other fee to cover the costs of an appraisal, credit report, filing fees, or other items.
Any Funding Application will be subject to final approval by the selected Funder at Funder’s sole discretion.
