Terms and Conditions

Pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism), every financial institution in the United States will be required to ask new and existing members for identification prior to opening new accounts, adding individuals to existing accounts, and for some transactions like wires and ACH. This rule becomes effective October 25, 2002.

If the staff Warren Federal Credit Union asks you to provide a photo ID, the request is not meant to invade your privacy or not acknowledge you if you are a long time member. We are simply complying with a new federal regulation that is designed to protect you from identity theft and protect the credit union from being used for criminal activity.

For account transactions, you will only be asked for one form of ID. If you are opening a new account or adding someone to an existing account, you will be asked to provide at least two forms of ID. If you do not have this information with you at the time you make your request, we will not complete the transaction until it is provided.

The following is a list of acceptable ID. The ID provided must show your:

1. Name,
2. Date of Birth,
