Opening A New Account

To open a new account, you simply need to stop by your local office. Please have your service address and billing address, if different, date you would like service established, and two forms of identification.

Deposits are required on all FPU accounts. FPU’s tariff requires that a residential customer’s deposit must be equal to an average two month bill. However, a deposit can be waived with an Equifax score of 760 or greater.
