How you can help

Ways that you can protect yourself

  • Do not send money or personal information to anyone you don’t know or trust.
  • Do not respond to any emails that ask for your banking information. If the email seems unusual, do not click on any links.
  • Use online banking to set up alerts and customized notifications of your account activity.
  • Enable multi-factor authentication for your online banking profile. Not sure how to do this? Reach out and we are happy to help.
  • If you suspect that your data has been compromised, stop, think, and call us or someone you trust before you act. Scam artists prey on your emotions and want you to act before you have time to think.

 

Debit Card and Receipt

More Important Safety Tips

  • When you conduct a transaction at our branches, present your membership card or write your account information instead of speaking it out loud.
  • Give us a call or stop by a branch and ask us to put a password on your accounts.
  • You can securely shred your documents by using the SecurShred bins located at any branch or attend one of our biannual Shred Fest events.
  • Don’t reuse passwords on different websites. Passwords you use for your financial accounts should be unique. This way, if a security breach happens somewhere else, your financial accounts will not be impacted.
  • Don’t call any phone number provided to you via email, text, or over the phone if you do not trust the source. Instead, obtain a valid phone number from a credible source, such as a secure website.
  • Always have up-to-date anti-virus software installed on your computer.
  • Never provide your online banking credentials to anyone, not even us—no legitimate business will ever ask you for this information.
  • Never allow anyone remote access to your computer.
  • Don’t accept any checks that you receive that are for greater amounts than expected, or a check in the mail you were not expecting.
  • Don’t send gift cards or funds via a money transfer service to someone that you do not know, even if the request appears urgent.
