CIP NOTICE TO NEW MEMBERS

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 that 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 will also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

What is a Credit Union?

When you become a member of United Energy Credit Union, you become a part of a larger family. Here, we value our United Energy members — and your families. United Energy Credit Union's mission is an easy and natural fit with the credit union philosophy and credo “People Helping People”. At our credit union, you are part owner, not just another customer. Unlike a traditional bank, you have a say in the direction we take - not stockholders. We're a not-for-profit cooperative, which means the earnings we get are given back to our members in the form of lower rates, higher dividends and lower fees. Your financial success is our success. And your vote counts. A volunteer board of directors is elected by members to manage the credit union.   

To join a credit union, you must meet its eligibility criteria. While some credit unions are limited to employees of particular companies or a membership in a certain organization, United Energy Credit Union membership is easy and accessible. We offer several ways to join. In fact, if you live, work, attend school or worship within a 10 mile radius of either of our branches, you can join us. Once you join the credit union your entire family is eligible to join as well.

Who can join?

• Active or retired CenterPoint Energy employees

• Active or retired Reliant Energy employees

• Anyone who lives, works, attends school or worships within a 10 mile radius of either branch

• Family members of any current members including:

  • Spouse
