Not used your account in a while? Think you may have previously held an account?

If you have not used your account in sometime, or think you previously held an account with CCU, there is a chance you may have a dormant account with us. Dormant accounts are classified as any account which has no member generated transactions in the last 3 years.

When an account becomes dormant, your shares remain in the Credit Union and continue to earn dividend on an annual basis. However, members will be unable to withdraw from their savings, lodge into their savings or apply for a new loan until they reactivate their account.

CCU is required by law to collect documentation to verify our members’ identity and their residential address. In order to comply with this requirement, we require up to date documentation before reactivating an account. Please see below for more information regarding the reactivation process.

Re-activate Account

If you would like to reactivate your account, we require the following:

  • We need you to complete our Member Information Update Form
  • We need you to provide one valid ID (please see the Acceptable Documentation section)
  • We need you to provide one valid proof of address document (please see the Acceptable Documentation section)
  • We need you to complete one transaction on your account (lodgement or withdrawal)

As soon as this is completed, your account will be re-activated, and you will have full access to CCU services again.

Close Your Account

You can choose to withdraw your savings and close your dormant account if it is no longer needed. To do this, you will need to call into one of CCU’s branches with a valid photographic ID.

Please see the Acceptable Documentation section for more information on which documents we can accept.

Transfer Your Account

If you have moved from the area and have an account with another Credit Union, we are able to liaise with this Credit Union and transfer your savings across.

You must first provide the Credit Union with the required documentation and then request that they contact CCU Credit Union for a transfer request.
