A cookie is a small piece of information that a website stores directly on the computer you are using. Cookies can contain a variety of information, from a simple count of how often you visit a website to information which allows customization of a website for your use. TEG Federal Credit Union uses cookies to gather data about the usage of our website and to ensure that you have access to your account information. Anytime a cookie is used, personal information is encrypted for our use only and is protected from third party access (a cookie cannot be read by a website other than the one that sets the cookie).


Linking to Other Sites

To provide you with greater access of information, we may provide links to non-TEG Federal Credit Union companies, such as mortgage companies or insurance companies. TEGFCU is not responsible for the content of the alternate website and cannot guarantee the relevance, timeliness, or accuracy of the materials provided by other agencies or organizations. TEGFCU does not represent either the third party or the member if the two enter into a transaction. Privacy and security policies of non-TEGFCU websites may differ from those practiced by TEGFCU.

Online Privacy of Children's Information

Online information entered by children under age 13 will only be used to respond directly to the child’s request and will not be used for other purposes without prior parental consent.


The USA Patriot Act

The USA Patriot Act requires credit unions to take extra security precautions 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. These new procedures are designed to prevent crimes, such as identity theft and account fraud that terrorists commit to finance their operations against the U.S. and its citizens.

Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated. When an account is opened or changed you will be asked 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 government issued documents. The definition of an account covers a broad range of regular financial transactions such as deposit, transaction, asset, or credit accounts or other extension of credit. The required verification may be inconvenient for some but a strong deterrent for terrorists and other criminals.

You can rest assured that we will only request the information required by the law and that we will use the information only for purposes of complying with the law. Your privacy is our top concern and we will respect and protect it as always, consistent with the law’s requirements.

Thanks for your understanding and help in this critical effort. The war on terrorism will be fought on many fronts, and this is one of them. Learn more about the USA Patriot Act.
