Member Identification Requirements: 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 to you: When you open an account, we will ask your name, street address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask for a picture ID (driver’s license, military ID, or passport) and/or other identifying information. In some cases, identification will be requested for current account holders if original documentation was not obtained with the opening of the account. In all cases, the protection of our member’s identity and confidentiality is our pledge to you. We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our members and our country.
