USA Patriot Act Statement
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 on personal accounts identifies each person who opens an account. In addition, on legal entity accounts, we will require identification on beneficial owners and controlling persons.
​​
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 also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
If you have any questions about membership or identification requirements necessary for account opening, please speak with a Member Service Representative by calling 856-696-2525 or toll-free 877-590-8866.
