I believe this requirement only applies if you bank with a multi national bank that has operations in the US.

FATCA will have no impact on you if you are not a U.S. person and hence no further action may be required. However, in certain circumstances, the Bank may require your action or confirmation to determine the correct status, for example through submitting declarations as may be required to update your information with us.
