Baylands Family Credit Union - Security Central: Awareness & Protection

Baylands Family Credit Union cares about the safety and security of your personal information. We encourage members to be proactive to avoid fraud.

Here are a few tips you can employ to increase your protection:

Always check your monthly statements.

This helps find transactions that you did not make, or catch mistakes so you can take timely action.

Use online resources to monitor your accounts.

For example, setup alerts to notify you of transactions or balance changes. Use Online and Mobile App banking to look at your accounts regularly, and setup BillPay to pay your bills securely.

Shred documents containing personal information.

Simply throwing sensitive information away could expose that information to people willing to comb through garbage to obtain personal information.

And remember, Baylands will NEVER contact you directly (by phone, email, or text) to ask for specific confidential information, including your:

Debit or credit card number
Personal Identification Number (PIN)
Security (CVV) code on back of card
Online Banking username or password
Social Security Number
