The Account Card must be completed and returned to Shell Employees Federal Credit Union (SEFCU) with a minimum deposit of $25.00 to open your savings account.  The $25.00 is not a fee, but an opening deposit.  We also require a copy of a current Driver’s License or other government-issued picture ID for every signer on the account.  Send the completed account card, a copy of a Driver’s License and your opening deposit, and we’ll open your SEFCU account.  As soon as your account is opened, you are immediately eligible for other credit union products and services.
