Why do I need to disclose whether I, or any of my relatives, hold public office?
To comply with European Regulations, MeDirect must apply enhanced due diligence procedures to Politically Exposed Persons. Politically Exposed Persons are individuals who have been entrusted with a prominent public function or who are closely related to such persons.
Why do I need to disclose whether I am a US citizen, US resident alien or US tax resident?
MeDirect asks this question in order to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). This is a US law which requires non-US financial institutions to provide the US tax authority (the Internal Revenue Service or IRS) with information on certain US persons with accounts outside of the US. If you qualify as a US person, you cannot apply for an account.
