Becoming a Member
After your membership application has been approved by the credit union an account of at least $5.00 must be established and maintained. To earn the annual percentage yield, an average daily balance of $50.00 must be maintained. If your account is inactive for a period of six or more months you will be assessed a dormant fee of $15.00 every six months.

IMPORTANT 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, physical 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. In addition, on legal entity accounts, we will require identification on beneficial owners and controlling person.”
