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 will also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents. If the Credit Union cannot be assured of the true identity of the person or entity seeking to open an account, it has the duty to refuse to open that account. If you have any questions, or want more information, contact GPO Federal Credit Union: (315) 724- 1654.
