Notify us immediately if you believe your AccessID and/or password has been lost, stolen, used without your consent or compromised in any way. We may suspend your access until a new password has been established.

Telephoning is the best way to reduce possible losses. Failure to notify the Credit Union could result in a loss of money in your account as well as any funds available in your overdraft line of credit. If you notify the Credit Union of the loss or theft of your AccessID and/or password within two business days after you learn of it, you loss will be limited to $50. If you fail to tell the Credit Union within two business days and the Credit Union can prove it could have prevented the loss, you could lose as much as $500. You have 60 days after your statement is mailed to you to tell the Credit Union of any transactions you did not make. If you fail to notify the Credit Union within 60 days, you may not get your money back.
