What Members Can Do to Help
My Credit Union is committed to protecting the privacy of its
members. Members can help by following these simple guidelines:
- Protect your account numbers, plastic card numbers, PINs (personal
identification numbers) or passwords. Never keep your PIN with your card,
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 explaining 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. If your address or phone number
changes, please let us know. 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.
- Let us know if you have questions. Please do not hesitate to call us – we
are here to serve you!
