Members can help by following these simple guidelines:
- Protect your account numbers, card numbers, PINs (personal identification
numbers) and passwords. Never keep your PIN with your debit or credit cards,
which can provide free access to your accounts if your card is lost or stolen.
- Use caution when disclosing your account numbers, social security numbers,
etc. to other persons. If someone calls you, explains the call is on behalf
of the credit union and asks for your account number, you should beware.
Official credit union staff will have access to your information and will
not need to ask for it.
- Keep your information with us current. It is important that we have current
information on how to reach you. If we detect potentially fraudulent or unauthorized
activity or use of an account, we may need to contact you. If your address
or phone number changes, please let us know.
If you have questions concerning this notice, please do not hesitate to call
