To get started, here's what you will need:

  • Social Security Number

Please note: All requests are reviewed for approval.  Completing an online membership application request does not guarantee you will be approved for membership.  If approved, all account documents and disclosure information will be mailed to the address provided in the membership application and accounts will not be opened until all required documents are received and minimum funds are deposited to fund the account.

Members and joint owners must be at least 13 years of age to apply for any checking account.  If you would like to open an account for a minor (under 12), the online membership application must be completed by a parent or guardian over age 18 and the account will be opened as a custodial account.
