Membership

While many credit unions have enlarged their fields of membership far beyond their original scope, Spokane Firefighters Credit Union has remained committed to our core group.

Important Information about Opening a New Account

USA Patriot Act

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.

In accordance with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, applicants for a new account are requested to provide current picture identification, name, address and other identifying information.

In some cases, identification will be requested for current account holders if original documentation was not obtained with the opening of the account.  In all cases, protection of our members identity and confidentiality is our pledge to you.  We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our members and our country.
