Membership

Joining your credit union is very easy. Eligible members complete a membership application and make an initial minimum savings deposit. A social security card and picture I.D. are also needed to open an account. Your account can be added to at any time either in person, by mail, or by payroll deduction.

Once you become a member, you can remain a member for life...even if you change employers or move away. Our only membership requirement is that you maintain at least $5.00 in your Share Savings Account.

SEG Membership

If you are an employer, you know how important benefits are to your employees. You also know how expensive they are. You may not know that providing credit union membership opportunities for your staff may be one of the best benefits you could offer. And the best part-it’s totally free to you. As an employer, the only requirement is that you agree to provide payroll deduction for your employees to the credit union-a very simple process with which we’ll be happy to help you set up. This value-added benefit is available to your employees’ immediate family members, too!

Identity Verification Notice

On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the USA Patriot Act. The purpose of this law is to help protect you, your family and our country from terrorism by preventing terrorist financing. We want you to know that section 326 of this Act requires our credit union to verify the identity of all new credit union members. We must also verify the identity of members and nonmembers added as signatories to and have access to new or existing deposit accounts and loans. We must also retain copies of documents used to verify your identity.

If you are an existing member who joined the credit union before the USA Patriot Act rules became effective, we may also need to verify and retain copies of any documents used to verify your identity when you request a new deposit account, apply for a loan or are added as a signatory to a new or existing deposit or loan account.

We ask for your understanding as we work to support these efforts to maintain the security of your funds and our country. Please speak with a credit union staff member if you have questions or concerns about our identification policies.
