Protect Yourself from Fraud

cyber security

The single most important way to protect your money and your accounts is through your awareness.

When you receive your UKRFCU statement make sure you review all of the transactions that have been posted. Don’t forget to check credit card and other accounts that you might not use very often. If you don’t recall making a trans-action, be sure to notify us immediately even if the amount is small.

Be safe. Check your UKRFCU statement when you receive it!
