Important Information About Procedures for a New Account
To help the federal 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 also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
Kern Federal Credit Union is aware that the economy is creating financial hardships for many individuals and families. These hardships could mean that meeting financial obligations becomes difficult. If you find yourself unable to make your mortgage payment during this difficult time, we recommend that you take immediate action and call a certified housing counselor or your lender.
International Use of ATMs is now available in most countries. Due to extensive fraud on international ATMs, the processing of ATM activity outside the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is monitored closely. If you plan to travel outside of the U.S. in the near future, we recommend that you please contact us for additional information and/or travel cash alternative.
