It Begins with Membership

Membership in Winston-Salem Credit Union (WSCU) begins with opening a Membership Share account... and can last a lifetime. And the benefits of WSCU membership are not limited to just you. Your membership in WSCU makes it possible for members of your immediate family and/or members of your household to join, as well.

You are eligible to join WSCU if you live, work, worship or attend school in Forsyth County or Guilford County (NC). Our core service area is in Forsyth County, and centers on the community that includes downtown Winston-Salem and the surrounding area of approximately 93,000 people.

Our history of service to our community includes receiving an Underserved Community Charter and a low-income designation by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). To qualify as a low-income designated credit union, the majority of our membership was required to meet certain low-income thresholds based on data available from the U.S. Census Bureau. That's what we do at WSCU!

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 on personal accounts identifies each person who opens an account. In addition on legal entity accounts, we will require identification on beneficial owners and controlling person. 

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.
