Financial account information refers to data pertaining to an individual’s or entity’s financial holdings and transactions. This includes details such as account balances, interest earned, dividends received, and records of asset sales. Such information is routinely collected by financial institutions for regulatory reporting, tax compliance, and anti-money laundering purposes. It provides a comprehensive view of an account holder’s economic activity.
