Identity Verification Requirements
As required by federal law (Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act), in order 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. 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 also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
We may also request documentation from current members if records were incomplete at the time of account opening. Your privacy and security remain our top priorities.
