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 driver's license or other identifying documents.
*Deposits to Premier Savings are eligible for FDIC and/or NCUA deposit insurance up to $1 million or more through Cross River Bank, Member FDIC and Participating Institutions. Learn more about the Custodial Program and Participating Institutions. Cross River Bank may place some or all of the funds held in your savings account(s) into an account at one or more other Participating Institutions. Each Participating Institution is either (1) a FDIC-insured depository institution that only covers the failure of insured banks, or (2) a credit union that is eligible for insurance through the NCUA Share Insurance Fund if the credit union fails. Funds are insured up to $250,000 per ownership category and per institution. Certain conditions must be satisfied for FDIC deposit insurance coverage to apply to any funds held at a FDIC-insured depository institution. Upgrade is not a bank and is not FDIC insured. You are responsible for monitoring where your deposits are held (available in your Upgrade dashboard) to determine the extent of FDIC and/ or NCUA insurance coverage available to you.
