Notice to Members
What is the U.S. Patriot Act? The U.S. Patriot Act was enacted in response to the terrorist acts of September 11th, 2001. The intent is for banks, credit unions and other financial institutions to verify the identity of all people who do business with them. It has become clear that terrorist groups have used our banking industry to funnel money to commit crimes.
How does this affect you? The Act was passed in an effort to improve public safety and should not directly affect most people. We will, of course, ask to verify your identification occassionally (once the Act takes affect and periodically therafter). This is a good safety precaution for you as a member anyway due to increases in identity theft over the past several years.
This act should have little or no affect on law-abiding citizens.
