Protect your Identity |
 |
 |
Here are 5 identity theft
prevention tips:
1. Don't give ANYONE access to your
PIN #s.
2. Don't leave financial mail or statements lying around your
house or your car -- you'd be appalled at how much information
can be gleaned from your checkbook, bank statements, credit card
account statements and tax records.
3. When you are discarding things, shred any personal documents
that may contain personal or financial information.
4. As much as possible, sign up for electronic banking and
account monitoring, and then review your accounts regularly. Any
fraud will be detected sooner -- and more easily -- than if you
wait for monthly mail.
5. Review your credit report, bank accounts and credit card
bills frequently. Self detection is the best way to find out
about identity fraud early.

New Overdraft Rules for Debit and
ATM Cards
New Federal
Reserve rules give debit and ATM card users additional options regarding
overdrafts. In the coming months, Degussa Employees Federal Credit Union
along with other banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions
must offer you the ability to make decisions about overdrafts for
transactions made with your debit or ATM cards.
After August
15, 2010, we are no longer be able to pay overdrafts on your one-time
debit transactions or ATM transactions UNLESS we receive your consent to
“opt-in”.
- Have you ever made a mistake in your checkbook,
which led you to spend more money than you actually had?
- Have you and your spouse ever unknowingly made
debit card purchases at the same time without having enough funds in
your account to cover both of your purchases?
- Have you ever needed cash fast from the ATM but
your paycheck had not been deposited into your account yet?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, chances
are you were still able to make your purchase(s) or obtain your funds
thanks to DEFCU’s Standard Overdraft service. Our Standard Overdraft is
designed to cover your overdrafts saving embarrassment and the extra
hassles in your already busy day. DEFCU pays overdrafts for the
following transactions: one-time debit transactions (point-of-sale), ATM
transactions, checks, and other transactions made using your checking
account number.
Be sure to pick up an “Opt-In” consent form at the credit
union.

Don't Worry - You're Protected!
Don’t worry! You’re protected using your DEFCU VISA Debit
Card!

your DEFCU Visa Debit Card? When you press ‘credit’ at the keypad and
sign for your purchases, you are protected by Zero Liability. One of the
many benefits of your DEFCU Visa Debit Card is 100% protection against
unauthorized use of your card if it’s ever lost or stolen. ***
