Be Fraud Aware, Protect Your Account

Fraud is a serious problem that affects many people every day. In today’s fast-paced world, it is essential to be vigilant and protect yourself from fraudsters who are constantly looking for ways to take advantage of unsuspecting individuals.

At Malahide Credit Union, we take fraud prevention seriously and are committed to helping our members stay informed and protected. We want to educate you on the common types of fraud and what you can do to prevent falling victim to it.

What You Can Do:

  • Be sceptical of unsolicited phone calls, emails, or text messages, especially those that ask for personal information.
  • Review your account statements regularly to detect any suspicious activity.
  • Check your credit report at least once a year to ensure that no new accounts have been opened in your name.
  • Use strong, unique passwords for your online accounts and change them regularly.
  • If you suspect fraud, report it immediately to your credit union or financial institution.
  • Remember, prevention is key when it comes to fraud. Stay vigilant and protect your personal and financial information at all times. We are here to help you with any questions or concerns you may have about fraud prevention.

While Malahide Credit Union works extremely hard to prevent fraud, it’s also the responsibility of all members to remain vigilant, be aware and stay informed. Educate yourself on how to stay safe online and offline.
