At the United Nations Federal Credit Union (UNFCU), we are completely focused on one unique group of people: the staff of the United Nations, affiliated agencies and their families. As a member of this special community, you are invited to share in all the benefits - and financial rewards - of UNFCU membership.
If you are ...
- An employee or retiree of the United Nations and
affiliated agencies
- An employee of the United Nations International
School
- An employee of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF
- An employee of the United Nations Child Care Center
- An employee of the United Nations Foundation
- Employees of the United Nations Association
- Family to a UNFCU member (includes spouses, parents,
children, grandchildren, grandparents, brothers and
sisters)
- An individual who resides in and shares financial
responsibility of a household with a UNFCU member
... then UNFCU membership is open to you.
As of 1 October 2003, U.S. federal
law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify,
and record information that identifies each person who
opens an account.
What this means to you:
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.
Account Restrictions:
Please be advised that UNFCU is a not-for-profit financial cooperative established under,
and fully subject to the laws and regulations of the United States, including but not limited to,
laws and regulations governing US economic sanctions toward various countries.
The operation of accounts for accountholders in countries subject to US economic sanctions is regulated
by the US Treasury Department. These sanctions laws and regulations, among other things, prohibit and
restrict account services and transactions, and they are subject to change without notice.
At the present time, countries subject to US economic sanctions effecting credit union type accounts include Cuba,
Iran, Burma (Myanmar), and Sudan. Currently, the operation of accounts (1) for accountholders who are citizens of Cuba,
(2) for accountholders who are in or reside in Cuba, Iran, or, Burma (Myanmar); and 3) those doing business with certain
Sudanese banks may be subject to restrictions by the US Treasury Department.
Please be aware that UNFCU, under authorization from the US Treasury Department, is only permitted to operate accounts for
actively employed UN staff stationed in Cuba, Iran, Burma, and for Cuban citizens who are stationed in the United States.
In the event you become separated from active UN duty and still remain in countries subject to US sanctions or you become
separated from active UN duty and are a Cuban citizen, or you are a Cuban citizen and become stationed outside the United
States or Cuba during your employment with the UN, your account with UNFCU will be subject to restriction and will require
further authorization from the US Treasury Department. UNFCU closely monitors changes in US Treasury Department laws and regulations
and interacts with the US Treasury Department in order to procure required authorizations in an attempt to avoid service disruption
for our members.
