MEMBER IDENTIFICATION
NOTICE
Federal
regulations enacted pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act
require all
financial institutions to verify the identity of every person who seeks
to open
an account or become a signatory on an account with the institution
after
October 25, 2002. All persons are subject to the identity verification
requirements even though they may be a long term customer of and well
known to
the institution.
For
the purpose of the regulation, an "account" includes every formal
banking relationship that entails ongoing services, dealings or
transactions.
Some examples are a deposit account, loan, or safe deposit box rental.
If you request to open
an account or become a signatory on an account with Watsonville
Hospital
Federal Credit Union, and the credit union has not previously verified
your
identity under the new regulatory requirements, documentary
verification of
your identity is required. Documentary identification includes photo
identification, such as a driver's license or passport and/or it will
verify
your identity through other non-documentary methods. Similar
identification
requirements apply to business entities such as corporations and
partnerships.
The credit union difference.
Watsonville Hospital Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit, financial cooperative owned and operated by its members. We offer loans at low rates and better than average earnings on savings.
Safety and security.
All accounts are federally insured to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The NCUA is the healthiest, strongest deposit insurance agency of the federal government.
