Important Information About Opening An Account
On September 11, 2001, our lives changed forever. In an effort to protect you and our country, the USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law. 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.
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. We may ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
We proudly support all efforts to protect and maintain the security of our customers and our country.

What Members Can Do To Help
Avanti Federal Credit Union is committed to protecting the privacy of its members. Members can help by following these simple guidelines:
- Protect your account numbers, card numbers, PIN’s (personal identification numbers) and passwords. Never keep your PIN with your card, which can provide easy access to your accounts if your card is lost or stolen.
- Use caution when disclosing your account numbers, social security number, etc. to other persons. If someone calls you, explains the call is on behalf of the credit union and asks for your account number, you should beware. Official credit union staff will have access to your information and will not need to ask for it.
- Keep your information with us current. It is important that we have current information on how to reach you. If we detect potentially fraudulent or unauthorized activity or use of an account, we will attempt to contact you immediately. If your address or phone number changes, please let us know.
- Let us know if you have questions. Please do not hesitate to call us – we are here to serve you!
