YOUR FUNDS ARE INSURED BY NCUA UP TO $250,000

 

The National Credit Union Administration, commonly referred to as NCUA, is the federal government agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions.  NCUA also operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).  Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, NCUSIF insures the accounts of millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the vast majority of state-chartered credit unions.  You can confidently join and conduct business with federally insured credit unions because no member has ever lost money insured by the NCUSIF.  Failures of federally insured credit unions are rare because only those with sound operational standards qualify to receive NCUSIF coverage.  NCUA also regularly reviews the operations of all federal credit unions and works closely with state regulatory authorities to evaluate federally insured state-chartered credit unions.  Members are federally insured up to $250,000.00.  IRA's are separately insured up to $250,000.00 by NCUA - "Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government".

ATM DEPOSITS


When you make a deposit at an ATM, there will be a hold placed on your account.  Because we can not tell what type of a deposit you are making, you may also be notified of an exception hold*.  * If you are depositing a payroll check, please contact the office.  Avoid these holds by enrolling in the direct deposit program or look into having your funds wired.  If you are making your deposit at our ATM machine, use the night deposit box instead.  We can see what exactly you are depositing and a hold may not be necessary. 

 

If you receive any mail from the credit union and do not understand what it is, please call for clarification.
 

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM PHISHING and VISHING SCAMS

 

Phishing attacks are "Spoofed" E-mails and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data.  By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond to them.

 

Many identity thieves are now using a computer technology called Voice over Internet Protocol that enables them to make anonymous calls to your phone for a crime called "vishing".  Here is an example: You get a call saying that your credit card has been used illegally.  You are asked to dial a fake toll-free number in order to "confirm" your account details and credit card number.  Once you provide this information to the thief, it is used to run up charges on your account and leave you with a financial mess.  Your credit rating may also be affected.  

 

If you receive any calls asking you for information about your credit card, hang up before you give out any information.  Do not give out the 3-digit security code found on the back of your credit card/debit card unless you initiated the call.  Be suspicious about any caller who wants to confirm, update, or verify financial information.  Do not respond to any e-mails informing you of problems with your account.

 

Call the toll-free number on the back of your credit card or on your statement to see if they initiated the phone call or the e-mail.  Do this as soon as possible to make your credit union or credit card provider aware of the vishing attempt.

 

If your credit card or debit card is lost, stolen or compromised, please call the number on the back of your card or call the credit union during business hours.

Be suspicious of any E-Mail with urgent requests for personal financial information.  Do not use the links in an E-Mail to get to any web page, if you suspect the message might not be authentic.  Always make sure you are using a secure website when submitting credit/debit card information  via your web browser.  Always keep in mind that WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR ACCOUNT #, VISA CREDIT CARD # or MASTER MONEY DEBIT CARD #'s or PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (PIN's), VIA EMAIL. 

If your ACCOUNT INFORMATION is stolen, report the theft as soon as possible.  Cancel your account and open a new one.  If your PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION IS STOLEN, report the theft to the major credit reporting agencies.
