Student Organization New Account Opening Checklist
Thank you for entrusting ASECU with you organization's account needs. We have been a presence on campus for many years, and stand ready to partner with you to help your organization succeed! Not all organizations are the same, but regardless of structure or purpose, all accounts involve some documentation. Documentation needed depends on the structure of your organization, whether it's an entity incorporated under Ohio law, a chapter of a National organization, or a simple unincorporated association of students. If you are not certain, please contact us - we can help you determine what documents your organization needs to open an account at ASECU.
If you are just getting started and have not yet established your organization, you may first want to seek the advice of a qualified professional, such as an attorney or accountant. They can help you determine what structure best suits your needs, understand potential liabilities, and may help you process any needed paperwork.
If you have any questions about opening an Organization account with ASECU, please visit or call our YSU office in Tod Hall at 330-792-4000 or 330-941-3204. Contact the YSU Branch Manager.
