Important Things To Know Before You Register

Beginning May 1, 2017, Healthcare Credit Union members will access Online Banking from the Goldenwest Credit Union website at gwcu.org. Before using the Online Branch at gwcu.org, you must first register. This process will take about five minutes. Here are a few things you should know before registering:

PRIMARY MEMBER

The primary member is the person who should register the account. You will need to provide personal information such as the new account number, the last four digits of your Social Security Number, and your birth date.

If you are registering an account for a business, you will need to provide the last four digits of your Tax Identification Number, and the ZIP code of your place of business.

You will need to select a preferred contact method to receive a six-digit passcode. You may choose to have the passcode sent to your phone number or email address on file.
