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 help us identify you.
We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
Notice Regarding Furnishing Negative Information to a Credit Bureau
In December, 2003 Congress passed the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) that made numerous changes to the regulation of credit reporting. One requirement was that a notice must be given to all Credit Union members regarding the credit union's policy on reporting to the credit bureaus. This notice does not mean that the Credit Union has changed its policy or practices regarding reporting information to the credit bureaus. If you have questions, please contact us. We may report information about you to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.
