Keeping Members Safe
Soo Co-op Credit Union strives to provide our members safe, secure, and friendly service. Part of this service is ensuring that no one has access to your account that shouldn’t. The news is continually reporting on businesses that have had security breaches. With so much of our personal information readily available these days, whether through fraudulent means or simply through social media, we encourage you to monitor your account regularly.
What you can do to help keep your account safe:
-
Monitor your account regularly through SpeedyLine, Online Banking, or Mobile Banking
-
Add alerts and monitor your debit card through CardNav
-
Add alerts to your Visa Credit Card through VISA Purchase Alerts
-
Never give out your account information unless you are absolutely sure who you are speaking with
-
Add a password to your account
Extra measures the credit union is doing to keep your account safe beyond cybersecurity and monitoring:
-
Updating your personal account information regularly
-
Scanning your ID
-
Asking questions that only the account holder would know
-
Requesting a password to be added to the account
