#1 – Regularly Monitor Your Account
Stay vigilant by frequently monitoring your account activity. Utilize our convenient online and mobile banking platforms to keep track of transactions and quickly identify any unauthorized activity. Set up alerts to receive notifications for specific account activities, such as large transactions or balance changes.
#2 – Keep Your Password Secure
Create strong, unique passwords for your Sikorsky Credit Union account and avoid using the same password across multiple platforms. Remember to update your password periodically and refrain from sharing it with anyone.
Sikorsky Credit Union never initiates contact with members via text or phone to reset your online banking password. Beware of fraudulent messages and calls impersonating us.
#3 – Email Security
Phishing attempts are deceptive emails designed to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information. Be cautious of emails requesting personal or account details, especially if they come from unfamiliar sources or contain suspicious attachments or links. If you receive an email that raises suspicion, refrain from opening attachments, clicking on links, or providing any information in response.
