Security first, always.
To meet federal requirements and help our members protect their identity, when you open an account, we will ask for your name, a street address, date of birth, and an identification number, such as a Social Security number. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents that will allow us to identify you. During this application process, Ellafi Federal Credit Union may verify your identity using commercially available databases containing information from public records, and consumer reporting agencies.
