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. The Pittsburgh Firefighters’ FCU will verify identity by obtaining a valid government-issued ID, with photo, such as a Pennsylvania driver’s license, passport, or police photo ID. Copies will be made and attached to your membership cards, with the exception of Military ID’s. If there is a discrepancy in your address we will require a 2 nd form of verification such as a utility or credit card bill. Members who mail in their applications must have it notarized and provide a copy of the above mentioned photo ID . For corporations, partnerships or trusts, we will obtain such documents such as articles of incorporation, business licenses, partnership or trust agreements. Your name, address and social security number will be compared to the information on your credit report. If a member cannot be reasonably identified they will not be able to join the Credit Union until their identity can be verified. All members are cross checked monthly through a program that complies with the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) rules and regulations.
