To assist the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all Financial Institutions, including POPA Federal Credit Union, to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens or is added to an account.
When you open a new account, or amend an existing 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.
We may verify the information we receive via U.S. Mail through alternative methods that allow us to establish a reasonable belief that we know your true identity. These methods include, but are not limited to, credit reports from consumer reporting agencies, contacting your employer to verify employment, comparing information received against other consumer databases, checking references and requiring you to have your signature notarized.
If we cannot establish a reasonable belief that we know your true identity, we will notify you within 30 days of your application.
Membership at POPA FCU gives you access to any of our convenient products and services, such as online banking, bill pay, direct deposit, and so much more. You also receive one vote during an election at our annual membership meeting.
