debit & Credit safety

KEEPING YOUR PAYMENT CARD SAFE
Using your credit or debit card in public places doesn’t always mean your information is secure. Information/identity theft can take place just about any time or anywhere – at an ATM, a favorite restaurant, shop or online.
​
Thieves have become more sophisticated and proficient at skimming and copying your card information. Card fraud can take place without you or store employees even knowing it. Once your card has been copied, the thieves will then be able to obtain the information from a remote location and produce a fraudulent copy of your card.
TIPS FOR PROTECTING YOUR PAYMENT CARDS
  • Keep your card in sight. When using your payment card at a merchant, keep it in sight at all times. A common way to steal payment card information is through “skimming” or “swiping” where thieves pass your card through a device that reads and records the information from the magnetic swipe.
  • Keep your personal identification number (PIN) a secret. Never write on your card or store it with your card. Don’t give your PIN over the telephone. No company or person should ever ask for your PIN.
  • Watch your email. Don’t provide your debit or credit card number, PIN or other personal information in response to an unsolicited email or online request. A good idea is to have different PINs for different accounts.
  • Never provide your payment card information on a website that is not a secure site.
  • Sign your payment cards as soon as you receive them.
  • Shield your payment card number so that others around you can’t copy it or capture it on a cell phone or with other camera.
  • Report a lost or stolen card to your credit union right away. By notifying your credit union immediately, you can reduce the chance that your card will be used improperly.
