Member Notice:
To our account holders and potential account holders:
In accordance with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, which requires the Lenco Credit Union to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Lenco Credit Union is required to obtain basic identifying information from you and verify that information when you open a new account.
This means the Lenco Credit Union staff will ask you for some basic information such as your name, address, date of birth, and other information designed to help us identify you. Lenco Credit Union staff will also ask to see documents identifying you such as a social security card, driver’s license, passport, and/or some other government-issued document.
In some cases, identification will be requested for those individuals conducting business with Lenco Credit Union prior to the effective date of the member identification requirements. This is because original documentation was not obtained with the opening of the account or Lenco Credit Union is unable to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of the existing account holder.
In all cases, protection of our member’s identity and confidentiality is the Credit Union’s pledge to you. Lenco Credit Union appreciates your patience and understanding as we all do our part in complying with the new account identification procedures required by the federal USA Patriot Act of 2001.
Respectfully,
The Board of Directors, Staff and Members of the Lenco Credit Union
USA Patriot Act (Section 326)

Additional data may also be gathered depending on the type of account to be opened. Data on existing members may be gathered as an additional product or service is requested.
