Pursuant to the USA PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act and final rules issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, a U.S. bank or a U.S. broker-dealer in securities (a "Covered Financial Institution") is required to obtain certain information from any "Foreign Bank" that maintains a correspondent account with it.

As permitted by the final rules, CREDIT SUISSE AG has prepared a Global Certification for use by any financial institution that requires a PATRIOT Act Certification from CREDIT SUISSE AG or one of its branches or listed subsidiaries. Please use this Certification (PDF) instead of asking CREDIT SUISSE AG or one of its branches or listed subsidiaries to complete a separate Certification form.
