GREAT SHARE RATES
OUR SHARE AND CD RATES STILL AMONG THE BEST
Due to our “not for profit” status interest rates tend to be better, and fees fewer and smaller at credit unions than at banks. Any profits credit unions make are shared with members in the form of competitive rates and “free” services. Contrast that with banks, which continually invent new fees and policies to boost profits to pay those outrageous executive salaries.
We value you, our member, and will continue to maintain competitive savings rates for you and your family.Call today to get the latest rates on CD’s, Money Market and IRA accounts.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNTS...AWARENESS IS THE KEY.
We will NEVER tell you via phone, text, or email that your card has been de-activated and for you to call a phone number or link to a website to re-activate it. These scams are looking for you to enter your 16 digit card number, PIN and CVV2/CVC2 code on the back of the card.
EMAIL PHISHING is an email message that asks you to click on a link, which then takes you to a website and then asks you to enter your card information.
LAND LINE TELEPHONE “VISHING” Vishing, (Voice phISHING) is the voice counterpart to phishing. Rather than being directed by e-mail to a Web site, an e-mail message asks the user to make a telephone call. The call triggers a voice response system that asks for the user's card number or other personal or financial information. The initial bait can also be a telephone call with a recording that instructs the user to phone an 800 number or another area code within or outside of the United States. Because people are used to entering card numbers over the phone, this technique can be effective.
TEXT MESSAGE “SMISHING” Smishing (SMS phISHING) is the mobile phone counterpart to phishing. Rather than being directed by e-mail to a Web site, a text message is sent to the user's cell phone or other mobile device with some ploy to click on a link. The link causes a Trojan to be installed in the cell phone or other mobile device.
The Credit Union will NEVER ask you for personal information via text message, email or unsolicited phone calls. If you have any doubt about who is on the phone, call the Credit Union directly or the phone number on your credit or debit card. 24/7 toll-free numbers can also be found on your credit card statement. Never open an unsolicited email or text message. Monitor your accounts on a regular basis. If you have not signed up for online banking, now is a perfect time. Immediately report any suspicious activity or phishing attempts to us as soon as possible so we can alert the proper authorities.

IMPORTANT CHANGE
Perhaps you've heard or read about Check 21, and are wondering what it's all about. For many, it may mean more bounced checks, as float essentially disappears, and creates a new negotiable instrument called a "substitute check".
The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) will cut the time it takes a check to clear from days to hours. If you need to change your checking habits, do so before it is too late. Consider signing up for Home Banking!
To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks and credit unions to replace original checks with "substitute" checks. These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the check. You may use these checks as proof of payment just like the original check. If you request a copy of a check, it may be a substitute. Look for full disclosure in the near future.
