What Members Can Do to Help
Our credit union is committed to protecting
the privacy of its members. Members can help
by following these simple guidelines:
• Protect your account numbers, card
numbers, PINs (personal identification numbers)
and passwords. Having your PIN with your debit
or credit card will provide free access to your
accounts to others 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 will attempt to contact you immediately.
If your address or phone number changes, please
let us know.
Let us know if you have questions. Please do
not hesitate to call us—we are here to
serve you!
