Stay Safe from Fraudsters
At Visionary Federal Credit Union, your security is our top priority. We’re committed to providing a safe, secure banking experience—and that means helping you stay informed. Here are some simple but powerful steps you can take to protect your personal information and avoid becoming a victim of fraud or identity theft.
Tips to Strengthen Your Account Security
- Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Create a password that’s hard to guess. Avoid using common phrases or personal info. Instead, use a mix of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. A password manager can help you keep track of them all.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of protection to your accounts by enabling MFA. This requires a second step—such as a one-time code—along with your password, making it much harder for fraudsters to gain access.
- Set Up Alerts: Sign up for account alerts to receive notifications of transactions, low balances, or unusual activity. Real-time updates help you respond quickly to suspicious activity.
- Keep an Eye on Your Accounts: Review your account regularly to spot unauthorized transactions. Mobile and Online Banking make it easy to stay connected and in control—anytime, anywhere.
- Secure Your Devices: Keep your phone, tablet, and computer safe. Install antivirus software, keep systems updated, and secure your home Wi-Fi with a strong password.
- Watch Out for Phishing: Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails asking for personal or account details. Visionary FCU will never request sensitive information this way. If you are in doubt, contact us directly.
