What are some tips for avoiding fraud on my accounts?
A. Here are some of the top ways that you can help to ensure you will not become a fraud victim: • Shop with merchants you know and trust. Never respond to suspicious emails or text messages requesting personal or financial information. • Keep a record of your transactions and review your monthly account statement. Report any fraudulent charges to the credit union immediately. • Make sure that your account passwords and PINs are not easy to identify, but at the same time something that you can remember. • Do not give out your password or PIN information to anyone that is not an authorized user on your account. • Properly dispose of account information (such as statements and correspondence from the credit union) using a shredder. Sign-up for e-Statements if you have not done so already. We will store and maintain your account statements for you! Q.
