Be Vigilant and Beware of Scams

It is during times like these that fraudsters may try to call and appear as your financial institution and ask for personal and digital banking information. Always remember:

Ascentra Credit Union will NEVER ask you for your Personal Identification Information through any communication sent to you, including your debit or credit card PIN, a Secure Access Code (SAC) or your user ID and password to Digital Banking. If this occurs, stop and contact the institution directly, using contact information found on an official document to discuss the offer or request you received.
