General questions
For most members, account numbers will not be changing. However, a few account numbers will change due to existing account number conflicts. In those instances, members will be contacted directly.
Information about your accounts will be in your Member Guide arriving in early May. If you do not receive it by May 10, please call us at 800.562.0999.
WSECU structures membership and accounts in a very similar manner to SHCU. You will have a membership account number, like you do with SHCU, and your products will be housed on Share IDs or Loan IDs under that account number.
