Please note: You may open accounts with Hudson Valley Credit Union if you live, work, worship, volunteer or attend school in Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Ulster, or Westchester County. If you do not have an account with Hudson Valley Credit Union, you will be required to open a Primary savings account with $0.01 when your loan is funded. Our loan applications prompt you to open an account, as applicable to your situation. If you are a joint member on other HVCU member accounts and do not have any primary accounts, please select No.
No matter what type of checking account you need, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you are looking for an account that offers perks, rewards, and loan discounts, or just need an everyday account that provides all the essentials to do banking your way, we’ve got you covered with our Premier Checking, Classic Checking or Teen Checking for those 13-17 years of age.
