Durante 75 años…

 

Nos hemos permanecido fieles a nuestra misión: ayudar a quienes más lo necesitan, servir a los demás e inspirar. Las cooperativas de crédito son diferentes: le pertenecemos a nuestros miembros – A Usted. Brindamos oportunidades donde otros dicen que no.

 

Nuestra historia comenzó en 1950, cuando el crédito era un lujo al que pocos podían acceder. Comprar una casa o un automóvil era inalcanzable para muchos. Fue entonces cuando un grupo de empleados comprometidos de Alcoa Davenport Works (hoy Arconic), en Riverdale, Iowa, se reunió en una pequeña sala en un sótano y fundó lo que entonces se llamó Alcoa Employees Credit Union. Su objetivo era sencillo: apoyarse mutuamente. Estos voluntarios trabajaban horas adicionales para otorgar préstamos pequeños pero significativos—a veces para que un compañero pudiera comprar carbón para calefacción, otras para que una familia pudiera dar el pago inicial de una vivienda.

Hoy, 75 años después, Ascentra ha crecido y atiende a más de 40,000 miembros en 20 condados de Iowa e Illinois. Con nueve sucursales ubicadas en Clinton, Muscatine y las Quad Cities, hemos ampliado nuestro alcance—pero nuestro espíritu sigue siendo el mismo. Vivimos bajo el lema “Escuchando, atendiendo, y haciendo lo correcto.” No es solo un eslogan—es nuestra manera de responder a las necesidades de nuestros miembros y de la comunidad.

No solo ofrecemos servicios financieros; caminamos junto a nuestros miembros—guiándolos, educándolos y apoyándolos en cada paso del camino. Creemos en construir comunidades más fuertes, porque eso es lo que nos hace diferentes. Eso es lo que nos hace Ascentra.

How to Protect Yourself from Identity Theft

  • jun. 21, 2021

Unemployment Insurance Fraud
Consider ignoring phone calls from unknown numbers or from people you don’t know. If it's legit they will likely leave a message.

Fraudsters can make any email, text, or caller ID call look like it's coming from a legitimate source, so be vary cautious before responding. A good safety measure is to look up the organization's public website and contact them via information they provide as opposed to what is sent to you in an email, text or call.

Be careful posting personal information on the internet or social media. Anything you post can be used to guess security questions or compromise your identity.

Bank and pay bills online with Ascentra’s Digital Banking. Otherwise, grab your mail as soon as it’s delivered to prevent thieves from misusing your information.

Start using complex passwords and change them frequently, especially for credit unions, credit cards, email and social media. If your UserID is your account number, change it to something not easily guessed.

Freezing your credit at all three credit bureaus is now totally free, and doing so makes it very difficult for fraudsters to establish credit in your name.

Sign up for a credit monitoring service, like SavvyMoney, now available through Digital Banking at Ascentra, to receive alerts if something changes on your credit file.

For more information on how Ascentra and SavvyMoney can help you monitor and maintain your credit, contact us at 563-355-0152 or through online chat at ascentra.org.

It’s Important to know that Ascentra will NEVER ask for your debit or credit card PIN, a Secure Access Code (SAC) that was sent to you, or your user ID and password to Digital Banking.
