What You Can Do to Help Protect
Your Privacy
State Employees Credit Union is committed to
protecting the privacy of its members. Members can help
by following these simple guidelines:
- Protect your account numbers, card numbers, PINS
(personal identification numbers) and passwords. Never
keep your PIN with your debit or credit card, which
can provide free access to your accounts if your card
is lost or stolen.
- Use caution when disclosing your account numbers,
Social Security numbers, etc. to other persons. If
someone calls you, explains the call is on behalf
of the credit union and asks for your account number,
you should beware. Official credit union staff will
have access to your information and will not need
to ask for it.
- Keep your information with us current. It is important
that we have current information on how to reach you.
If we detect potentially fraudulent or unauthorized
activity or use of an account, we will attempt to
contact you immediately. If your address or phone
number changes, please let us know.
