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.
