WHO CAN JOIN
You're Eligible to Join Dupaco If ...
You live or work within our charter area or have an immediate family member who’s a member. To join, simply open a savings account with $25 or more. Even if you move away, you can still take advantage of all Dupaco’s offerings as long as you keep at least $25 in your savings account!
Who’s Who on Your Account
If you’re teaming up on an account, it’s helpful to know who does what! Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Primary member/account owner: Every membership starts with a primary member. You open your share with a one-time $25 deposit linked to your SSN or Tax ID. This membership is exclusively yours, giving you full responsibility and control over your accounts while you’re living.
- Joint/secondary account owner: You’re the support team—like a partner, parent or co-borrower added to an account by the primary member. Your access is defined in your signed agreement. You can open your own membership share, but it won’t change access to accounts you’ve been added to.
Primary vs. Joint: What's the diff?
Here's an overview of how privileges work
| Privileges | Primary Member | Joint/Secondary Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Access and manage the shared account through Shine, over the phone, and in-branch | Yes | Yes (with their own login or identity authentication credentials) |
| Perform day-to-day banking transactions on the shared account (like deposits, withdrawals, transfers, etc.) | Yes | Yes |
| Remove joint/secondary owners from the shared account | Yes | Yes (with the Primary's verbal authorization) |
| Open and add new accounts, loans, and lines of credit to the primary member's membership | Yes | No |
| Access and manage all accounts associated with the primary member's SSN or TIN | Yes | No (just the ones they're added to) |
| Close a shared account, loan, or line of credit | Yes | Yes (unless it's a Share Savings account) |
| Close a primary member's membership | Yes | No |
