Protect Your Money With a Trusted Contact

A Trusted Contact Person is a person that you designate the IBEW Local 56 FCU to contact if the Credit Union is concerned you are experiencing fraud, a health crisis, or another emergency that affects your financial affairs.

Choosing a trusted contact can help you prevent fraud and scams without giving up control of your finances.

Here are some tips when making this very important decision:

Choose Someone You Trust: someone reliable like a family member, close friend, or attorney that does not have access to your finances.

Ask Your Credit Union: to walk you through some frequently asked questions regarding trusted contacts, including when we will alert your trusted contact and what informtion we will share in different situations.

Keep it Updated: contact us right away if you want to change or remove a trusted contact.

Authorizing a trusted contact person is optional. However, many regulatory agencies have recommended that credit unions offer this program to help protect their members. Ultimately, it is your decision whether or not to appoint a trusted contact person.

Reduce Robocalls With These Precautions:

  • Do not call registry: Manually block numbers of suspected robocallers with your smartphone.
  • Don't answer calls: Never answer calls from numbers you don't recognize. Doing so only encourages more robocalls.
  • Check with your provider: Most wireless carriers offer some type of call blocking feature. It may or may not be a free service depending on the carrier.
  • Verify a caller: If a caller claims to be from a legitimate source like a government agency or well known company, hang up and look up their true phone number. Then call them back.

Following these steps can help limit your risk of becoming a victim of fraud an/or ID theft.

Online Banking & Bill Pay

We encourage our members to sign up for Online Banking (click the box on our home page).  It's an easy way to keep an eye on direct deposits and automatic payments, to transfer funds from one sub-account to another, to look up copies of paid checks, and to transfer credit union loan payments.  Sign up for E-Statements and view your statement online the beginning of the month or quarter.

If you have a share draft (checking) account, you can sign up for our Bill Pay service.  Schedule your payments from the credit union's website and eliminate the need for checks, stamps, and trips to the post office.  We have two Bill Pay options to choose from to fit your needs.  Click here to see the options.

Contact the credit union office at 814-455-2270 if you have questions regarding these or any other services.
