At White House Federal Credit Union, Convenience Comes with Safety
By now you may realize how much time and money you can save using our convenience features such as online banking and bill pay, direct deposit and check cards. But did you know that these services can also help protect you from identity theft and other financial fraud? Here's how:
Online banking. Periodically logging on to your account electronically through online banking lets you keep an eye on your balances and account activity, and ensures that you catch unauthorized transactions quickly, when damage may be easier to repair. And you can rest assured that all of your information is safe, thanks to our advanced security features and encryption.
Online bill pay. When you pay bills online, you avoid placing checks and other personal information in your mailbox where criminals can steal it. You may even be able to have your bills and your credit union account statement delivered to you electronically as well, virtually eliminating sensitive paper mail.
Direct deposit. Having your paycheck, benefits or investment income payments deposited electronically into your account can save you a trip to the credit union and give you quicker access to your money. What's more, you won't have to worry about the paper check being lost or stolen.
Check cards. They work the same way as a check – the funds are deducted directly from your checking account – but check cards are simpler to use, easy to carry and allow for faster transactions. They also don't contain any personal information, such as an address or phone number, like a check does. Plus, a check card offers you better dispute resolution assistance and protection against fraudulent transactions.
