Online Account FAQs

How do I know if I am eligible to apply for accounts online?
You must be 18 years of age or older to apply online.  U.S. Residents are eligible to apply for new online deposit accounts.

We will accept applications for accounts titled as a Sole Owner or Joint Account online.  If you are interested in opening an account in the name of a trust, estate, organization, corporation, etc., please contact one of our Banking Centers or call 1-800-273-6908.

Why do I need to verify my identity?
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  As part of this process, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number and other information that will allow us to identify you, such as your driver’s license information.
