Full legal name, business or individual status, and contact details to match the bank's records and support identity verification during audit.
A complete, signed certification protects payers and payees by verifying account ownership and authorization, reducing misdirected payments, supporting tax withholding compliance, and creating an evidentiary audit trail for financial controls and regulatory requirements.

Different roles may sign or approve the form depending on internal policy and authority levels.
