*Important information about procedures for opening a new account:

As required by the USA Patriot Act of 2001, which requires Ardent Credit Union to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Ardent Credit Union must obtain basic identifying information from you and verify that information when you open a new account.

This means Ardent 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. Ardent Credit Union staff may also ask to see documents identifying you too such as a driver's license, passport or some other government-issued document. Ardent 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.
