Protecting your Identity, Privacy and Money
Identity theft can occur when an unauthorized individual obtains personal information, such as your social security number, date of birth, address and financial account numbers. Once this information is obtained, the thieves will assume your identity, allowing them to illegally purchase items or obtain credit.
Report fraud to Credit Union 1 immediately.
If you think you may have been a victim of fraud, contact us immediately via [email protected], or call (907) 339-9485 or (800) 478-2222. At Credit Union 1, we have continuous fraud detection tools in place to protect your accounts.
