Call your credit union to let them know when and where you’re traveling. They’ll put a note on your account and will stay on alert for any fraudulent activity.
Make a photocopy or scan the information on your cards. It could take a long time to find contact information for your accounts if you lose your wallet. Keep copies (in a secure place) of the fronts and backs of cards so that you can cancel your accounts quickly when needed.
When accessing your accounts or paying bills online:
Use a secure network with up-to-date antivirus software and a firewall.
Don’t access your personal information from a public computer.
Fully log out of your account when finished.
When using an ATM:
Be aware of your surroundings when entering your PIN and receiving cash.
Make effort to use ATMs that are indoors, such as inside a financial institution.
