Eligibility

Ready to apply for an account? Your application will only take a couple minutes.

All Accounts will be mapped to a CU SoCal account on 6/1. To learn more, visit cusocal.org/lafinancial.

Please note that federal regulations do require that we identify all account owners. Generally, we should be able to identify you and your other account owners (if you have one) using our online verification process. If you put a freeze or lock on your credit report, please contact the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and Transunion) to unfreeze it before you apply.

If we are unable to properly identify you or your other account owners online, we may not be able to open the account until we receive a copy of ID for you and your other account owners. In some cases, additional documents or a visit to one of our branches may also be required.
