Banks and Credit Unions

Banks and Credit Unions

With your new IDNYC Card, you can open a bank or credit union account at one of several financial institutions across New York City.

The banks and credit unions listed below accept IDNYC as a primary form of ID to open an account.

Depending on the policies of the financial institution, you may be required to provide additional documentation such as proof of address, Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or a small initial deposit. Credit unions have additional membership requirements.

You can also learn more about opening a bank account at one of the City's Financial Empowerment Centers operated by the Department of Consumer Affairs, where you can schedule free one-on-one financial counseling sessions in English or Spanish.

The appearance of any financial institution on this list does not constitute an endorsement by the IDNYC Program or the City of New York. The listing is provided as a convenience for persons who are looking for institutions that accept IDNYC as a primary form of ID to open an account.
