Social Insurance Number Privacy Protection Policy

We are required by law to obtain your Social Insurance Number (SIN) when you open an account with us that earns income. This is for tax reporting purposes.

For your protection, we also request your SIN during the application process to ensure that we're authenticating your identity (i.e. as a tool to identify you and to distinguish you from other individuals with a similar name). Please be aware that providing your SIN in this way is voluntary. Not providing your SIN for this purpose will not in itself prevent you from obtaining any products or services with us. If you wish to apply without using your SIN for identification purposes, please contact us toll free at 1-866-247-ALLY to process your request.
