The Credit Union Advantage

A credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative that is owned and managed by its members, and closely regulated just like any other financial institution. Credit unions exist to help people, not make a profit.

Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you:

When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents. We may also verify your identity through a credit report or other electronic verification systems.
