Privacy Statement

Important Information about procedures for opening a New Account

To help the 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.

What this means for 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 drivers license or other identifying documents.

Dearborn Village Community Credit Union is owned by its members and run by a board of directors elected by the members. We want you to know that the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information is a top priority. We are required by law to provide you with this notice in order to inform and explain to you how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal financial information. If you have any questions about this disclosure or what it says, please contact a member service representative.

Information About You We Share

We disclose information we collect about you under certain circumstances and as permitted or required by law. The disclosure of this information typically included processing transactions on your behalf, as you authorize to provide you with a product or service, to conduct the operations of this credit union, and to protect the security of our financial records.

In order to provide you with certain products and services we sometimes disclose your information with other organizations. In some cases we enter into agreements with third parties to provide these products and services to you on our behalf or to jointly market products and services. For example, as a benefit of membership we make insurance products available to you at discounted premiums. In order to do this, we provide information such as your name and address to the insurance company that offers its products to you. To protect your privacy, we only do business with companies that agree in writing to maintain strong confidentiality protections. We restrict these companies to using your information only for the reason we have given them, and for no other purpose.

In the event that you terminate your membership we will not share any of your information we have collected about you, except as permitted or authorized by law.
