While Alliance Catholic Credit Union implements extensive measures, members also play a vital role in preventing financial fraud. Awareness and proactive steps can significantly reduce your risk. Understanding common scam tactics and practicing safe financial habits are crucial for maintaining the security of your accounts.
"Vigilance is your strongest defense against financial fraud. Always question unsolicited requests for personal information and verify the legitimacy of communications claiming to be from your financial institution."
We encourage all members to be skeptical of unexpected communications, whether by phone, email, or text, that ask for personal or account details. Alliance Catholic Credit Union will never ask you for your full account number, PIN, or online banking password via unsolicited email or text message. If you receive such a request, it is likely a phishing attempt. Always contact us directly using official contact information if you have any doubts about a communication.
Regularly reviewing your account statements for unauthorized transactions and promptly reporting any suspicious activity are also key responsibilities. The sooner we are aware of a potential issue, the quicker we can act to mitigate any damage. For more details on protecting yourself from identity theft, consider resources like the Federal Trade Commission.

Scammers often rely on urgency, fear, or false promises to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information or sending money. Alliance Catholic Credit Union wants to equip you with the knowledge to recognize and avoid these traps.
