PATRIOT Act
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA PATRIOT Act 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 your name, physical address, date of birth, taxpayer identification number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your drivers license or other identifying documents. We will let you know what additional information is required.
Christmas Club Disclosures
*APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Annual posting date for Christmas Club-November 1st. Annual dividend rates on Christmas Club accounts are set by the ACU Board of Directors and are published at the end of the quarter preceding the annual posting date. Christmas Club accounts earn 4.00% APY* on only the first $5,000 on deposit. Any funds over said amounts will earn the regular share dividend rate in effect at the same time of the posting date. Minimum balance required to open account and earn the stated APY= $0. A $25 fee is assessed for all withdrawals other than to close the account or to pay out the annual balance on the posting date. Fees may reduce earnings.
