Open a Signature FCU Organizational Account

Non-profit Accounts 

Signature FCU membership starts with just a $5 deposit into a business savings account. 

And that’s it – no membership fees, no minimum balances. Dividends start to accrue at an average daily balance of $100. Always deposit with peace of mind because Signature FCU share accounts are federally insured by NCUA up to $250,000.

Requirements for Organizational accounts:

  • Articles of Organization (if applicable)
  • EIN# on IRS letterhead
  • By-laws (if applicable)
  • Photos of driver’s licenses for all authorized officers
  • Certificate or proof of fidelity bond insurance (Highly Recommended)
  • For Visa® card requests, you must complete page 8 of the organizational account application
  • Signature FCU organizational account application, which must be signed by all authorized officers

Fidelity Bonds (Highly Recommended)

Fidelity bonds are often referred to as “honesty insurance”. They cover losses due to any dishonest act of an organizational officer. Fidelity bonds cover a position title such as President or Secretary/Treasurer, not an individual. The losses may be monetary, merchandise or any other property, real or personal.

If your organization currently does not have bond insurance, it is available through Brown and Brown Insurance Agency of VA, Inc.

Money Market Accounts

Attractive dividend rates make our Money Market accounts a preferred alternative to standard checking accounts. Your Money Market account has a few more restrictions than a regular checking account, but it earns higher dividends. A Money Market account offers more flexibility than a Share Certificate as you can withdraw your funds without a penalty.

Signature FCU Money Market accounts always offer:

  • A consistent, competitive rate - dividends are tiered based on your balance
  • Access to your money without an early withdrawal penalty
  • Six withdrawals per month
  • 50 FREE standard checks each year

Additional details at SignatureFCU.org/MoneyMarket

Share Certificates

Share Certificates (similar to Certificates of Deposit at traditional banks) offer a higher dividend rate than a regular Savings account. A certificate is an attractive way to build up savings, and you can choose your term.

You can elect to transfer your dividends out each month or re-invest them in your certificate to maximize the earning potential. At the time of maturity, you can withdraw a portion or all of your funds or roll all or part of the funds into a new Share Certificate at the current market rates.
