...Until recently, with the "Omission" of the Trading with the Enemy Act from the Bankers' Code, the common man or woman endorsing private credit from the Fed has been considered a state bank.
Thank you Allodial, that should open a few more eyes than mine,
David Merrill.
P.S. I have saved the files to disk.
I figured it would be interesting at the least to you and others. Also, the form (as Chex has pointed out also) that there are those who are exempt from FinCEN transaction reports. Psycopathic, envious or shady tellers have been known to file nasty FinCEN reports out of spite--with the exemption certificate in place I suspect tellers and bank staff would be open to sever criminal and civil liability should they do such things in face of an exemption. Conceivably a substitute certificate could be executed by an accountholder or the like and served on the bank through Treasury (i.e. copy to the bank w/ certificate of service and original to Treasury --by fax or by mail).Quote:

(a) Privacy obligation policy
It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers’ nonpublic personal information.
(1) to insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information;

15 U.S. Code § 6804 – Rulemaking
Regulatory authority

Except as provided in subparagraph (C), the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and the Securities and Exchange Commission shall have authority to prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this subchapter with respect to financial institutions and other persons subject to their respective jurisdiction under section 6805 of this title (and notwithstanding subtitle B of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 [12 U.S.C. 5511 et seq.]), except that the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection shall not have authority to prescribe regulations with respect to the standards under section 6801 of this title.

The term “Federal functional regulator” means 15 U.S. Code § 6809 – Definitions
(4) Nonpublic personal information
(A) The term “nonpublic personal information” means personally identifiable financial information—
(i) Provided by a consumer to a financial institution;
(ii) Resulting from any transaction with the consumer or any service performed for the consumer; or
(iii) Otherwise obtained by the financial institution.
(B) Such term does not include publicly available information, as such term is defined by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title.
(C) Notwithstanding subparagraph (B), such term—
(i) Shall include any list, description, or other grouping of consumers (and publicly available information pertaining to them) that is derived using any nonpublic personal information other than publicly available information; but
(ii) Shall not include any list, description, or other grouping of consumers (and publicly available information pertaining to them) that is derived without using any nonpublic personal information.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was enacted on November 12, 1999. In addition to reforming the financial services industry, the Act addressed concerns relating to consumer financial privacy. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act required the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other government agencies that regulate financial institutions to implement regulations to carry out the Act's financial privacy provisions (GLB Act). The regulations required all covered businesses to be in full compliance by July 1, 2001.
The FTC is responsible for enforcing its Privacy of Consumer Financial Information Rule (Privacy Rule). Anyone who uses this Guide should also review the Privacy Rule, found at 16 C.F.R. Part 313 (May 24, 2000).

The primary purpose of the W-8 form is to indicate to mutual fund companies and brokers that a foreign investor isn't subject to standard taxation practices where ... to indicate to mutual fund companies and brokers that a foreign investor isn't subject to standard taxation practices where investment income is not taxed.
In a nutshell, a W 8 form is used by foreign businesses and non-resident aliens earning income from U.S. sources. Its purpose is mainly to let ... You probably don't have to worry about the W 8 form -- unless you're a non-resident alien. American citizens generally do not need to use W 8 forms, nor do resident aliens -- instead, they would use the corresponding W-9 form that certifies their tax identification number.
"Of Course - With (the) respect to financial institutions and other persons subject to their respective jurisdiction"……………………
I don't recall the site and so cannot give credit where credit is due:
That (quote from Investopedia) is "kosher pig poop seasoned with hen's teeth"--it just ain't so. The W8 is for anyone who is not citizen or national of the United States. Many banks may refuse to or are unable to provide bank accounts which are non-interest bearing which can result in reportable income for U.S. residents or U.S. citizens. A W8 or substitute document can be utilized by anyone who is not a citizen or national of the United States to assert their foreign status. The W8 can be utilized in any U.S. situation where there is or could be income. This is important considering that that one can be, say, a Texan and be foreign to the United States.Quote:

That may be the case though I don't recall any statutory definition showing American citizen (U.S. citizen or citizen of the United States) to include U.S. nationals (but it could). The key distinction worth noting, IMHO, is whether or not one regarded to be a citizen of the United States is in fact a "person born subject to the jurisdiction of the United States".Quote:

Each of the several states is a nation....all but practically abandoned by the people who are currently participating in the federal benefits & privileges program.
But Fedgov knows they're there......,here's an obscure reference in section 5.23 of the Government Style Manual

In designating the natives of the States, the following forms will be used.

Grammatically correct....I'm New Yorker........not "a" New Yorker. But I left that land more than half my life ago for Florida. So I now claim Floridian as my nationality (also long enuff to qualify as "1/2 cracker" ;-]
Don’t know who Immihelp is but here is there interpretation.Quote:
(U.S. citizen or citizen of the United States) to include U.S. nationals (but it could).
U.S. National - Difference between U.S. Citizen and U.S. National
IRS interpretation
Alien An individual who is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. national.
U.S. National An individual who owes his sole allegiance to the United States, including all U.S. citizens, and including some individuals who are not U.S. citizens. For tax purposes the term "U.S. national" refers to individuals who were born in American Samoa or were born in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands who have made the election to be treated as U.S. nationals and not as U.S. citizens.
Immigrant An alien who has been granted the right by the USCIS to reside permanently in the United States and to work without restrictions in the United States
Nonimmigrant An alien who has been granted the right by the USCIS to reside temporarily in the United States. Each nonimmigrant is admitted into the United States in the nonimmigrant status, which corresponds to the class of visa with which, or purpose for which, he entered the United States.

Merriam Webster dictionary defines a citizen as “a person owing allegiance to and entitled to the protection of a sovereign state.”
Black’s Law dictionary defines a citizen as “a person who owes allegiance to, and may claim reciprocal protection from, a government.”
