Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Account
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. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. In certain cases, we may also ask for a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

Protecting your privacy
We recognize that preserving your trust includes protecting your privacy. The Board of Directors, management, and staff of Northeast Credit Union considers this a priority. That is why our online application uses 128-bit Secure Layer (SSL) encryption technology - the most widely used method of securing internet transactions available today.
