Is it necessary to fill in the FATCA section?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) 2010 requires citizens of the United States, including those who live outside the US, to report their financial accounts. Because of this, you will need to fill in this section. If you do not fill in this section, the Responsible Entity will follow up with you to ensure the required FATCA information is captured.
When filling in details for the EFT transfer, the name won’t fit in the account name for the bank details. Does this matter?
Some banks do not allow enough space to enter all of your account name details. You may shorten your account details to: IML AS RE [Investor Name]. Please put in enough of your account name so that it is easy to apply to your application.
