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, street 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.

1. All new accounts will be verified through ChexSystems^® and are subject to approval. Member must be 18 years and older and accounts with CU SoCal must be in good standing. Account must use a SSN or ITIN, not an EIN. A $2 monthly paper statement fee will be applied to the primary savings account for Members ages 18-63 who are not enrolled in eDocuments. If funds are unavailable in the primary savings account, the fee will be transferred to that account from the secondary savings, checking, or money market account. For Members without a primary savings account, the fee will be applied to the checking account or money market account.
2. Approximate $68 monthly value is based on CU SoCal’s estimate of the combined retail value of comparable services and features included with the Rewards Checking account as of April 1, 2026. Actual value may vary based on individual use of the benefits and changes in the cost of comparable services. Benefits are automatically included with Rewards Checking and are subject to eligibility, activation or registration requirements, limitations, exclusions, and applicable terms and conditions.
