America's Christian Credit Union wants to insure your privacy and the safety of your account information. The following is a brief list of protection tips:
-
- Never give your account and routing information over the phone, or to anyone you do not know.
- Guard your deposit slips. Never use your deposit slip for "scrap" paper or notes.
- Properly store or dispose of canceled checks.
- If your checkbook is lost or stolen, immediately inform us – call 1-800-343-6328
- When traveling for a period of time, it is wise to leave your checkbook at home and locked away. Use your ATM – Debit Card – Credit Card while traveling. Always place travel notices on your account before traveling.
- Always write checks using non-erasable ink pens, typewriters or printers - never pencil.
- Write the dollar amount in both numbers and letters, as far to the left in the allotted space as possible and draw a line through the unused space to the right of the letters and numbers to prevent additions.
- When writing the payee name on the "Pay to the Order of" line, make sure the name is spelled out completely (do not use abbreviations) so it cannot be altered.
- Balance or reconcile your checkbook register when you receive your monthly bank statements.
