As we move further into 2025, staying financially aware and digitally secure is more important than ever. With new scams and fraud tactics evolving constantly, members should be especially cautious with their personal and financial information. Always monitor your accounts regularly for unfamiliar activity and set up alerts through online or mobile banking to catch suspicious transactions early.
This year so far, artificial intelligence has made both banking and fraud more sophisticated. Scammers are using AI to create convincing phishing emails, texts, and even voice messages. Be skeptical of unexpected requests for personal details or urgent messages about your accounts. When in doubt, contact us directly using a trusted phone number or by logging into online banking.
It’s also a good time to reassess your financial goals. Are you saving enough for an emergency? Do your checking and savings accounts still meet your needs? We can help you stay on track, whether you’re planning a big purchase, saving for the future, or simply want to reduce monthly expenses.
Finally, remember to take full advantage of your credit union membership. From competitive loan rates to our Direct Deposit checking account and digital tools, we’re here to help you make the most of your money in 2025. Stay informed, stay protected, and let’s build a stronger financial future together.
