USA PATRIOT Act
(Uniting & Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept & Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001)

In order to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act; effective October 1, 2003, Federal Law requires GHS Federal Credit Union and all financial institutions to; obtain, verify, record and maintain information that identifies new members applying for and opening new accounts or services with the credit union. This will help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities. Information we are required to obtain and verify includes name, residential address, tax identification number and date of birth.

Confidentiality of the information maintained by the credit union will be protected as required under our privacy policy.

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 may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
