Bring a valid, government issued I.D. displaying your correct address. An initial deposit of $5.00 to open your share/savings is required. There are no minimum balance requirements on your ECU checking account.

What we provide: We provide starter checks and at most branches a debit or ATM card on the day you open your account.

Direct deposits: Setting up your direct deposit is easy. We will provide you with the information you will need to take back to your employer, and if you receive Social Security, SSI or Veterans Benefits, we can transfer that for you right in the branch!

To apply for or transfer a loan: Getting preapproved for a loan is an excellent way to start the loan process, but whether you choose pre-approval or need your loan today, here are some items you’ll need to bring with you to make the process flow smoothly:

• Picture I.D. with current address
