• the account holder’s residence address or mailing address currently on file;
• the account holder’s telephone number(s) currently on file;
• whether there are standing instructions to transfer funds to another account;
• whether there is a current “in-care-of” address or “hold mail” address for the account holder; and
• whether there is any power of attorney or signatory authority for the account.

The paper record search, where necessary, should include a review of the current customer master file and, to the extent they are not contained in the current master file, the following documents associated with the account and obtained by the Financial Institution within the last five years.

• The most recent documentary evidence collected with respect to the account;
• the most recent account opening contract or documentation;
• the most recent documentation obtained by the Financial Institution for AML/KYC procedures or for other regulatory purposes;
• any power of attorney or signature authority forms currently in effect; and
• any standing instructions to transfer funds currently in effect.

These should be reviewed for any US indicia as set at Section 5.5.
