Are we required to notify a customer when we have received a citation to discover assets or a levy on their account if there are no funds in the account? – IBA Compliance Connection

Are we required to notify a customer when we have received a citation to discover assets or a levy on their account if there are no funds in the account?

by

We believe that you are required to notify the customer, whether or not the account balance is zero, unless a court order or applicable law specifically prohibits you from notifying the customer. The privacy provisions in the Illinois Banking Act state that a bank may disclose a customer’s financial records to a third party “only after the bank mails a copy of the subpoena, summons, warrant, citation to discover assets, or court order to the person establishing the relationship with the bank . . . unless the bank is specifically prohibited from notifying the person by order of court or by applicable State or federal law.” 205 ILCS 5/48.1(d). By disclosing the zero balance of the account to the sender of the citation or levy, you are disclosing the customer’s financial records — which include any “information pertaining to any relationship . . . between a bank and its customer . . . .”  205 ILCS 5/48.1(a)(4).

Consequently, in the case of a citation to discover assets or a levy, for which there is no law prohibiting the disclosure, you should notify the customer before responding to it.
