Account Conversion
We are committed to making this conversion as seamless as possible for all FFNW customers. We will notify you in advance of changes that impact you and your account(s) as a result of the conversion. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, all direct deposits, automatic withdrawals, debit cards, ATM network access, online banking, electronic or paper statements, items sent by mail, and paper-based checks.
Consent to membership by any person (including individuals, partnerships, trusts, and corporations) will apply to all accounts as to which such person has withdrawal or signature rights.
If the transaction and conversion between Global and FFNW is not completed for any reason, all consent forms will be null and void. Any membership consent with Global shall only be effective upon the completion of the transaction and conversion.
To ensure you receive information regarding your accounts, please verify that FFNW has your current contact information, including email address, mailing address, and phone number(s).
Deposit Insurance (FDIC and NCUA)
Insurance of deposits at Global, referred to as “share insurance,” will be provided by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This share insurance from NCUA will replace the deposit insurance provided by the FDIC on accounts at FFNWB with no gap in coverage. Like the FDIC, the NCUA will insure your accounts at Global up to $250,000, per member, per ownership category. NCUA share insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Learn more at ncua.gov.
Additional terms
As we get closer to converting your accounts to Global, we will separately mail you a copy of the Share Account Disclosure Statement, as well as other disclosures. Please read these documents carefully as they contain the terms and conditions which will govern your account at Global and will replace your FFNW account agreement as of the conversion date. If you have questions about these documents, please call the Member Service Center at 800-525-9094 or visit any Global branch.
