Customer Identification Program (CIP)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

Federal Law 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, PFFCU 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 and other identifying documents.
