Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act

The Federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act proposed in 2006 became effective June 1, 2010. This regulation prohibits business customers from receiving deposits of any kind relating to illegal internet gambling. As a federal regulated financial institution, 1st Capital Bank is required to enforce that prohibition.

This serves as notification to our Business Customers that you must notify us if your account is or will be used for Internet Gambling of any kind, even if you believe that activity is legal. Failure to do so may result in termination of your access to various payments methods or the closing of your account.

Please contact your Relationship Officer or a Bank Representative at 831-264-4000 for any questions or concerns regarding this notification.

A fee may apply for check images of your cancelled checks. However, you can avoid the monthly service charge by maintaining an average available balance of $3,000 any day during the statement period. Of course, more information will be provided at the time of opening the account.
