Consumer Account Application Form PDF Details

The Consumer Account Application form, also called a Signature Card or DSG8921, is a document banks use when opening new personal checking or savings accounts. Wells Fargo and similar institutions require it to meet federal identity requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act. Filling it out completely and accurately prevents delays in account opening.

Before you start, gather the following information:

Wisconsin residents must complete an additional marital property section. Texas residents will find a community property section and must confirm whether joint account holders are spouses under Texas law. These requirements are set by state law and must be completed before the bank can process the application.

Signing the form gives the bank consent to run a credit inquiry and a background check. You also agree to the deposit account agreement, the funds availability policy, and the dispute resolution process. Read each section carefully before you sign. Incomplete or inaccurate information may delay or prevent account activation.

For joint accounts, all holders must sign. Each co-applicant must provide their own name, address, date of birth, TIN, and ID details in full.
