Protecting your personal and financial information is crucial, and unfortunately, fraudsters are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their tactics.  One of the latest scams involved a caller pretending to be from the credit union, asking a member to verify their identity by providing the last eight digits of their debit card. Because the first digits are the same for all members, this gave the scammer access to the full card number.

Your financial well-being is important to us. That’s why we’re proud to partner with GreenPath Financial Wellness, a trusted nonprofit organization, to offer our members a free online course titled Identity Theft, Fraud, and Scams. In just 15 minutes, this course teaches you how to recognize common scams, protect your personal data, and gives you a clear plan of action if you ever become a victim.
