Eligibility

MEMBERSHIP

The perks of SAG-AFTRA Federal Credit Union membership are reserved for a very special group. Whether you are in front of the camera and microphone or behind the scenes, we are the credit union who understands your unique financial needs.

Membership makes you an owner of the credit union, and your financial goals come first. We are here to help you succeed. Unlike for-profit banks, we are not driven by increasing profits for stock investors. We give any profits back to members in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings yields, and superior service. Join now!

Become a Volunteer

Credit unions are unique, non-for-profit, cooperative financial institutions owned by their members and guided by volunteers. As a not-for-profit organization, volunteers play important roles in our success. Therefore, SAG-AFTRA Federal Credit Union is always looking for dedicated volunteers from within our membership to help serve as a volunteer.

A volunteer requires a commitment of time without compensation, a desire to serve, a willingness to learn, and the discipline to carry out the specific duties of a federally credit union volunteer.

Some basic expectations of a credit union volunteer are:

A willingness to attend meetings and participate
An understanding of and/or willingness to learn about basic business concepts
At all times, act in the best interest of the members and the credit union
Be a fully engaged member of the credit union for at least 1 year
Be a member in good standing

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer and you feel you meet the qualifications, please contact the credit union providing your interest and we will mail you a volunteer application. Please send your letter of interest to:

USA Patriot Act

The USA Patriot Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. You will be asked for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying government issued documents (State Issued Non-Driver ID, Military ID, Military Dependent ID, Passport, Permanent Resident Card). We only request information required by law and will use the information only for purposes of complying with the law. If we are unable to verify your identity, an account will not be opened.

Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006

The UIGEA, signed into law in 2006, prohibits any person engaged in the business of betting or wagering (as defined in the Act) from knowingly accepting payments in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful internet gambling. The Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board have issued a joint final rule, Regulation GG, to implement this Act.

As defined in Regulation GG, unlawful Internet gambling means to place, receive, or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such a bet or wager is unlawful under applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal Lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made.

As a member of SAG-AFTRA Federal Credit Union, these restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account or banking relationship with us. If you do engage in an Internet gambling business and open a new account with us, we will ask that you provide evidence of your legal capacity to do so.
